I got freckle tattoos — people say they will ‘age like a tramp stamp’
Her new freckles are getting heckled.
Australian cosmetic tattoo artist Daisy Foxglove is going viral on TikTok for inking a client’s face with fake freckles, with one critic arguing the dots will “age like a tramp stamp.”
In a video posted Monday from Brisbane, Foxglove invites viewers to watch as she completes a “full face of heavy-coverage freckle tattoos” on a redheaded woman.
“This is the canvas that I had to work on,” she narrated the video while showing off her cheerful customer. “My client has such beautiful skin, but as you can see, her features were made for freckles.”
“She has a couple of natural freckles here and there, and I used those as a jumping-off point to map out these glorious heavy-coverage freckles,” she continued.
“I always show my clients the mapping before we get started to make sure that we’re happy, and I make the mapping as interactive as it can possibly be,” Foxglove explained, showing the woman with bright red dots across her cheek and sporadically on her chin and forehead.
“My clients can always choose where they want their freckles to go,” she added.
Foxglove finally cut to the “freshly done” final look.
The tiny red dots were still bold, and her irritated cheeks were bright pink, but the artist assured viewers that the color of the freckles “will calm down about 50%, and obviously, the skin won’t be red once it’s healed.”
The Post contacted Foxglove for comment.
Foxglove’s TikTok has drawn 696,700 views and over 200 comments, many expressing shock someone would pay for semi-permanent freckles.
“Omg… Years of getting called freckle fart from Kmart & now people are getting them tattooed on?! What is this world?!!” one user wondered.
“Not me here hating my freckles and then this person is tattooing them on to their face,” one person wrote.
“Cannot believe what I hated having growing up is now a trend,” another stated.
One cheekily added: “Me trying to avoid my freckles coming out every year and people are doing this? lol.”
“Me naturally have a full body of freckles and hating them,” another deadpanned.
Meanwhile, another tattoo artist recently revealed she lets her 9-year-old daughter practice on her.
And yet another described client red flags that would prevent him from breaking out the needle.
