Find your look
Two ways to add a little character, both drawn on and approved by you before anything is tattooed. Alex will help you decide at your consultation.

-
Faux freckles, fresh Tiny, scattered dots of pigment across the nose and cheeks for a natural, sun-kissed look that stays all year. Alex varies the size, shade and spacing so they sit like real freckles rather than a pattern. Starting softer is easy, as more can be added at a top up. You can even work a star constellation into the mapping for something with extra meaning.
Best for Anyone who loves freckles, or wants to add to the ones they have.
-
Beauty marks near the mouth and cheek A single, softly defined mark placed exactly where you want it: above the lip, on the cheekbone or somewhere just for you. A classic round spot, or a tiny shape such as a heart, which can go anywhere on the face or body.
Best for A signature mark, or one you've drawn on with pencil for years.
Results
Freckles and beauty marks from Alex's clients, fresh and healed. Every one is drawn on first so you can check it in the mirror, and shades are mixed to match your own freckles or skin tone. Select any photo to see it full size.

Good to know
The freckle questions Alex is asked most. If yours isn't here, just ask.
Ask a questionWill faux freckles look natural?
That's the whole aim. Alex varies the size, depth and shade of each freckle and avoids even spacing, so they read as real freckles rather than dots. Freckles look darker and crisper for the first few days, then soften as they heal.
Can I choose where they go?
Yes. Every freckle or beauty spot is drawn on first, and nothing is tattooed until you're happy with the placement in the mirror. Bring photos of any freckles you love and Alex will use them as a guide.
Can you add to my own freckles?
Yes, and it often gives the most natural result. Alex matches the colour to your existing freckles and fills in around them, so it's hard to tell which are yours.
How long do faux freckles last?
They're designed to soften gradually, usually over one to three years, which keeps them looking natural. Sun and exfoliating skincare fade them faster, so a daily SPF helps them last. If they soften more than you'd like, Alex can refresh them.
Does it hurt?
Each freckle takes only a moment, and a numbing cream is applied first, so most clients find it one of the more comfortable permanent makeup treatments. Alex checks in with you throughout.
What is the aftercare?
Keep the area clean and dry, avoid makeup on it, and stay out of the sun, saunas and swimming while it heals. Let any flakes lift away on their own. Once healed, a daily SPF keeps the colour at its best.
