Faux freckles—those sun-kissed, effortlessly youthful specks—are one of the most sought-after cosmetic tattooing trends right now, and for good reason. Whether you were born with them or always wished you were, faux freckles are a playful, natural-looking way to add charm and character to your complexion.
At our studio in Edmonton, we believe the best cosmetic tattoos are the ones that make people say, “Wait… those are tattooed?” Our approach to faux freckles is all about subtlety and softness. The goal? For your freckles to look completely undetectable—like you just spent a sunny afternoon in the garden or inherited the perfect sprinkle of freckles from your genes.
🌿 Why Faux Freckles Are a Hot Trend
Natural beauty is having a major moment, and freckles embody that fresh, laid-back aesthetic. They soften features, give the illusion of youthfulness, and enhance makeup-free skin. Plus, they photograph beautifully—whether you’re a no-makeup person or love a full face with a touch of whimsy.
With customizable placement, tone, and density, faux freckles are tailored to each face for results that are flattering, authentic, and uniquely yours.
If you’re in Edmonton or the surrounding Alberta area, you must visit us for your faux freckles. They are a great way to refresh your look with a soft, trendy twist.
💡 What to Expect During the Process
Our faux freckle tattooing is quick, gentle, pain-free and surprisingly low-maintenance long-term.
Here’s what you can expect:
Consultation to discuss freckle placement, density, and desired colour
Freckle mapping to achieve a random, organic layout
Soft, layered pigment application using fine-tipped, sterile, nano needles
Healing that typically takes 5–7 days, very fast healing with minimal downtime
Your freckles will appear slightly darker and warmer during the first few days but will soften and cool down in colour and fade to a natural, lived-in look as they heal.
☀️ Getting Faux Freckles in the Summer? Absolutely OK! Here’s What to Know:
Yes—you can absolutely get faux freckles in the summer, you don't need to wait. In fact, it’s a popular time to do so, especially if you plan to get them placed some where on your body, not just your face; show them off in your bikini! But there are a few things to consider to protect your results and ensure long-lasting beauty:
Avoid direct sun exposure while initially healing the first week.
Apply SPF daily (this is a must for all cosmetic tattoos!)
Skip pools, saunas, and ocean dips for at least the first week
Hats and shade are your BFFs during the initial healing phase
With a little extra care, your freckles will heal beautifully and blend seamlessly into your natural skin.
👩🎨 Who Are Faux Freckles Good For?
Faux freckles are perfect for:
Those with naturally freckled skin looking to enhance or restore them
Anyone who wants a sun-kissed look year-round
People seeking low-commitment cosmetic tattooing
Clients who love a whimsical, youthful aesthetic
They can be as light or bold as you like, they can be as little or as many as you want—but we always recommend starting soft. You can always build more! This is a two-appointment process, we do require clients return in approx. 6 weeks to add extra density in layers.
