Dermatologists cautioned individuals who are thinking of partaking in a new trend involving semipermanent cosmetic freckle tattoos on the face, according to an article published in USA Today. Social media platforms like TikTok have recently popularized the trend, which involves placing the tattoos within the top two layers of the skin. The tattoos are designed to fade over the course of about 4 years. However, dermatologists emphasized that individuals should be aware of the potential consequences of getting freckle tattoos—including the need to undergo removal procedures if the tattoos are inserted too deep into the skin. The tattoos may also make it more challenging to detect early skin cancer, such as melanoma and pigmented basal cell carcinoma, on the face. Dermatologists advised individuals who plan on getting these tattoos to ensure that they visit an experienced tattoo artist who will use proper sterilizing, handling, and storage techniques.
