Freckles used to be a facial feature that kids were cruelly bullied over in school.

But nowadays, they have become a beauty 'trend' where women are paying to have freckle like spots tattooed onto their faces to mimic the real deal. Although, the aesthetic 'fad' hasn't gone down too well with everyone.

For those who were teased in school for having freckles and still spend their time covering up the dots of pigment, the 'trend' has left them baffled after an artist shared her client transformations.

Freckle tattoo artist Mary Wicijowska took to TikTok where she revealed the stunning transformations of her clients who paid for the semi-permanent treatment. In the clip which racked up millions of views, Mary unveiled the just after appointment and healed examples of her freckle work.

"Healed freckles before and after," Mary wrote in the caption. "Let me know what you think!"

The first client smiled as the many tiny dots that appeared to be red at first covered her face, mainly on her cheeks and nose. The ink-made 'freckles' looked as if they were the same size and shape. She then shared a 'healed' picture of the woman where the 'freckles' appear less prominent and more natural.

The tattoo artist continued to show several pictures of her clients who underwent the treatment before she uploaded a video to explain how the 'fake freckles' work. "These fake freckles, tattoo freckles are not going to stay on their faces forever," Mary shared. "The ink I'm using is going to fade away in two-to-three years depending on your skin and how you take care of it. Like, we're not going to be 80 with freckles ok.

"This is not a regular ink."

Despite some users providing compliments to Mary's work, many women with natural freckles took to the comments to share their opinion on the 'trend'.

"I was bullied for having freckles now they are a trend," one woman bravely admitted. Another user added: "Big up to us girls who were made fun of for having freckles as kids, we're winning now."

While a third voiced: "I’ve literally spent my entire life covering my freckles."

Someone else expressed: "Who is sitting there thinking about themselves so much that they are like 'hmmm I need some freckles'."

Meanwhile, a fifth woman shared: "I don’t get it! I hate my freckles. I do everything to make them fade."

Elsewhere, a bikini model opened up about how she was bullied in school and was branded a 'ginger minger'. Carmen Rouse was a self-proclaimed tomboy and wasn't massively into makeup. She used to tie her red tresses into slicked back ponytails and was part of the cadets.

However, nasty playground bullies targeted Carmen for her appearance. But, she's now got the last laugh as a stunning model.
