- If there is a word for a freckle fetish, I have it.
I am 110% guilty.
Atena, I'm just thinking,
just like spray 'em across,
just like a fairy has shat all over my face.
(laughing)
(ambient music)
- Today I am getting freckles on my face
- Growing up, I always wished I was as lucky
as my older sister to have freckles.
- I remember just looking at kids with freckles
and being really envious of them,
and the more freckles they had,
the better person they were in my mind.
I don't know why.
- It's just the sunkissed look.
- This dust of cuteness.
- Society tells us that they're imperfect.
That to me just makes them so much more attractive.
- They're just stunning.
- Oh my god, I just love them.
- Bronze and golds and mauves,
like a landscape on the body, I just think they're gorgeous.
I've been waiting for this for a long time, I'm excited.
- I have a picture that I wanted to show you.
- Oh, I like it, fantastic.
- Yeah, I'm excited.
- We're gonna do some small ones, some big ones,
maybe throw in a couple of different shades
so we can add some depth.
This is semipermanent, so it's not gonna be there forever.
It's usually between six months to a year.
We're depositing pigment underneath your skin.
Difference is I use pigment, tattooists use ink.
Pigments are different consistency,
and that's why it's semi-permanent.
You excited?
- [Voiceover] I'm so excited.
- Let's get these freckles on your face.
I'm just going to go from here.
Freckles are not actually perfectly circular,
so you'll find that each of them have their own personality,
like a unique little fingerprint.
I find that people who've got freckles
spend their entire life either trying to hide them,
or I actually spend a lot of time removing them with laser,
and people who don't have them
with chop off their right arm to get them.
So you ready to go?
- Yes.
- Let's get started.
- [Voiceover] I think that I've always been
attracted to features that weren't necessarily
renowned for being beautiful.
When I hear people ashamed of their freckles
or disliking their freckles, it just baffles me.
They're such a beautiful addition to a person,
they're so unique, it blows my mind.
- [Atena] We're done.
- Yay, I'm so excited to see them.
- Ah.
I'm just joking, it's fine.
Truthfully it's funny, because part of me
is a little bit nervous that people are
gonna be watching this and thinking,
why the hell would you get freckles?
There's so much controversy around freckles.
You either love them or you hate them.
It's like coriander.
I love coriander and freckles, and I don't understand
why you would hate something so beautiful.
- [Voiceover] We're done.
- It's funny 'cause my sister doesn't like her freckles,
but I love them, I've always wished I had them like her.
I have a few tattoos already,
so I'm not nervous about the pain,
just really excited to see how it's gonna turn out.
(ambient music)
Oh wow.
- Okay, oh my god, oh my.
- Aw, they're so cute.
- I can see how they're raised,
and they're gonna eventually fade into my face.
- It's my childhood dreams come true.
Six year old me would be so proud right now.
- This is fantastic, this is what I've wanted on my face.
- Oh my god, they come all the way up here too.
They're beautiful, I love it.
- It's so funny that so many people
who have freckles hate them so much.
I hope that at least, through this video they see
how desirable they are to so many people.
I guess the grass is always greener.
But I feel like I finally belong to the freckle clan,
at least for the next six to 12 months.
- Thank you, thank you so much.
- [Voiceover] No worries, take care of them, huh?
- I will, I will.
