While some women cover their faces with thick layers of foundation①foundation 英 [fa?n'de??(?)n] 美 [fa?n'de??n]n. 基礎(chǔ)；地基；基金會(huì)；根據(jù)；創(chuàng)立to cover up natural freckles②freckle 英 ['frek(?)l] 美 ['fr?kl] n. 雀斑；斑點(diǎn)vt. 使生雀斑vi. 生雀斑, others are apparently getting them tattooed. Yup, freckles are in, and some people would even go under the needle to get them.

Freckle tattooing is reportedly one of the fastest growing beauty treatments available today. Similar to microblading,an eyebrow enhancing procedure, freckle tattooing involves the use of pigments③pigment 英 ['p?ɡm(xù)(?)nt] 美 ['p?ɡm(xù)?nt]n. [物][生化] 色素；顏料vt. 給……著色vi. 呈現(xiàn)顏色to ink freckle-like dots onto a person’s face that eventually blend in with the client's skin tone. As with any tattoo, there is some inevitable swelling, but it subsides after a few months, and the initial dark coloring of the freckles fades to a light brown.

It's unclear when exactly freckle tattooing started,but Montreal-based cosmetic④cosmetic 英 [k?z'met?k] 美 [kɑz'm?t?k]adj. 美容的；化妝用的n. 化妝品；裝飾品tattoo artist Gabrielle Rainbow is considered one of the pioneers who spearheaded⑤spearhead 英 ['sp??hed] 美 ['sp?r'h?d]n. 矛頭；先鋒；先鋒部隊(duì)vt. 帶頭；做先鋒the beauty trend. She says she was inspired by a friend who had become tired of constantly having to paint them on her face with makeup.Rainbow first experimented on herself, although she doesn’t recommend tattooing your own face, and after seeing that the effect was very realistic, she decided to tattoo her friend as well.

Gabrielle Rainbow told New Beauty that she now tattoos face freckles for a wide range of clients, from people who naturally get them in the summertime who also want to keep them when they can't get enough sun exposure⑥exposure 英 [?k'sp????; ek-] 美 [?k'spo??]n. 暴露；曝光；揭露；陳列, to those who are freckle free, but always dreamed of sporting their own 'sun kisses'.

"In terms of the freckles, when they are 'freshly done,' they will appear swollen almost like bee stings, and the swelling will go down within a couple hours and you'll be left with your cute, fresh freckles," the cosmetic tattoo artist says. "Over the course of one to two months, the color will soften dramatically and look more natural. They will fade naturally with time, and if you wish to keep them you can always get the color boosted whenever you like."

Gabrielle Rainbow says she normally takes the 'less is more' approach when it comes to freckles, but most of her clients love the result so much that the usually ask for more.However, the artist points out that people interested in having their faces tattooed need to do their research before going under the needle. With so much demand for the procedure these days,there are plenty of people looking to take advantage of naive clients, so Rainbow recommends finding artists who aren't afraid to show their portfolio⑦portfolio 英 [p??t'f??l???] 美 [p?rt'fol?o]n. 公文包；文件夾；證券投資組合；部長(zhǎng)職務(wù)and healed work.

"Even if this is 'semipermanent⑧semipermanent 英 [,sem?'p??m?n?nt]adj. 非永久性的；暫時(shí)的,' there are risks, such as technicians who will go too deep or not use the proper inks."the tattoo artist said.

有些女性會(huì)用厚厚的粉底來(lái)遮蓋臉上天生的雀斑，而其他一些女性卻要往自己的臉上紋雀斑。雀斑如此流行，居然有人寧愿挨針扎也要讓自己的臉上有雀斑。

據(jù)報(bào)道，雀斑刺青是如今發(fā)展最迅速的美容治療項(xiàng)目之一。和微創(chuàng)提眉手術(shù)類(lèi)似，雀斑刺青就是用染料將雀斑狀的小點(diǎn)紋到一個(gè)人的臉上，這些小斑點(diǎn)最終會(huì)和客戶(hù)的膚色融為一體。和其他刺青一樣，創(chuàng)傷處的紅腫是不可避免的，但幾個(gè)月后就會(huì)消退，最初紋的深黑色也會(huì)漸漸變成淺褐色。

不知道雀斑刺青是什么時(shí)候興起來(lái)的，但是現(xiàn)在居住在加拿大蒙特利爾的美容紋身技師加布里埃爾·雷恩博被認(rèn)為是引領(lǐng)

這一美容潮流的先驅(qū)之一。她表示，她是受一位疲于化雀斑妝的朋友的啟發(fā)。雷恩博先在自己臉上做了試驗(yàn)，盡管她不推薦在臉上做刺青，但是看到效果很逼真，她決定在她朋友臉上也紋上雀斑。

加布里埃爾·雷恩博告訴《新麗人》說(shuō)，她現(xiàn)在在各種各樣的客戶(hù)臉上紋雀斑，有夏天被曬出斑點(diǎn)想在日照不足的時(shí)候還保留這些曬斑的客戶(hù)，也有臉上沒(méi)雀斑卻一直夢(mèng)想擁有自己的雀斑的客戶(hù)。

這位美容紋身技師說(shuō)：“雀斑‘剛做好’的時(shí)候，看上去腫得像被蜜蜂蜇的，但是幾個(gè)小時(shí)后，腫脹就會(huì)消下去，你就能擁有你的可愛(ài)新雀斑了。再過(guò)一到兩個(gè)月，雀斑的顏色就會(huì)變淡很多，看上去更自然。這些雀斑會(huì)隨著時(shí)間流逝慢慢淡去，如果你想保留雀斑，可以隨時(shí)去增強(qiáng)一下顏色。”

加布里埃爾·雷恩博說(shuō)，她一般都覺(jué)得雀斑刺青“少即是多”，但是大多數(shù)客戶(hù)都很喜歡刺青的效果，所以客戶(hù)通常都要求紋更多雀斑。然而，技師指出，有意紋臉的人應(yīng)該在做刺青之前先調(diào)查研究一番。近來(lái)要求紋雀斑的人太多，無(wú)知的客戶(hù)很容易被利用，所以雷恩博建議找那些敢于展示自己的刺青成果的技師。

雷恩博說(shuō)：“就算這個(gè)刺青是‘半永久’的，也是存在風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的，比如技師可能針扎得太深，或者沒(méi)有用合適的染料?！?/p>
