Ladies, as you know, I’ve reported on a lot of strange and unique makeup trends in the past, but now I’m officially wondering if we’ve gone too far. Cosmopolitan recently reported on the newest beauty trend to hit the Internet, ‘AstroFrecks.’ Cosmetics tattoo artist Jessica Knapik offers temporary freckle tattoos in the shape of your astrological sign. Interesting, right? These freckle tattoos last for two years and fade over time. You can get a look at Knapik’s unique work below.
Beauty News: Have We Gone Too Far With THIS Trend?
Knapik told Cosmo, “Cosmetic tattoo artists are trained a little more in aesthetics — beauty, face shapes, brow shapes. Cosmetic tattooing is also semi-permanent, so this won’t last forever,” the artist said. “It’s perfect for freckles because the older ones will be fainter and the newer ones will be darker, exactly like real freckles. And if you’re sick of it, you just stop getting touch-ups and go back to how your face was before.”
As for the astrological aspect of these tattoos? I think they’re fun! Hide your sign in your freckles. It’s like a secret only you know about— that is, only if you want freckles tattooed on your face.Would you get these “astrofrecks” yourself? Let me know in the comments section or tweet me @lorenridinger. In the meantime, you can only get these specialty freckles in Michigan where Knapik is located, so consider a road trip, ladies!
