Freckles can sometimes be a polarizing subject. If you do have them, there's a good chance you've spent half your life trying to cover them up. Those of us who don't have them, though, want in on the action. The grass is always greener, right?

If you fall into the latter, freckle-less category, we have just two words for you: freckle tattooing.
Yes, you read that
correctly: Freckle tattooing — aka the lesser-known cousin of
microblading, a semi-permanent tattooing technique used on eyebrows — is
a cosmetic procedure that is growing in popularity across the world.
Tattoo artists can either enhance freckles that are already present or create a spade of new ones. But as with any tattoo,
the initial coloring is quite dark and intense, which isn't very
natural — even if tattoos have a darker pigment, ideally, they should be
a bit soft around the edges.

Fortunately, tattooed freckles fade over time, and that creates a softer, more desirable effect.

If you aren't blessed with freckles (and want them!) but feel like getting them tattooed on
is a bit extreme — we hear you. There is another, much cheaper and less
permanent alternative available, and that's a "freckle pencil" like Topshop's Freckle Pencil, which is available.
So, what do you think: Is this just another another beauty fad? Or does it have legs?
