For a more subtle alternative to fully tattooed lips, try lip blushing. It's the creation of cosmetic tattoo artist Gabrielle Rainbow, and it's intended to give your lips a natural flush of color. She'll blend a custom hue from a selection of 30 pigments, as light or as bold as you please. The results typically last three to five years.
(#1) Tattooed Freckles Are The Look Of The Moment

Some people find their natural freckles a nuisance, but if Instagram is anything to go by, plenty of women who don't have them are seeking out ways of getting the sun-kissed spots artificially. California-based tattoo artist Mo Southern describes 2017's craze for tattooed freckles as a "grass-is-greener" mentality: "People want what they don’t have!"
Southern says once she began creating freckle constellations in 2016, she was flooded with requests. She thinks the subtle tattoos add a youthful look to an individuals face, but cautions that it can be tricky to get an ideal look: "You have to match the right shade of freckle to the skin. Every single person needs a different shade and tone to make it look natural."
(#2) Tattooed Freckles Can Be Natural Or Fantastical

A lot of tattooed freckles go for a natural look. But a more daring trend in cosmetic facial tattooing includes the use of colors that go beyond typical skin tones. Some tattoo enthusiasts have even had rainbow freckles applied. Talk about a youthful look!
(#5) Hate Applying That Winged Eyeliner? Consider Getting A Tattoo

Doing your eyeliner is no fun. It requires steadier hands and more patience than most people have first thing in the morning before they've even had their coffee. That's where a permanent makeup specialist can come in. They can give you the look of freshly applied liner that won't smudge or run.
Before you go under the needle, it's important to know exactly what you want. Have your specialist draw practice lines first, and consider springing for pricier hand tattooing – you'll get more precise results.
(#4) They're Not Permanent Makeup

Cosmetic facial tattoos are not the same as permanent makeup. Facial tattoos are typically more artistic and out there, while permanent makeup is designed to mimic the look of traditional cosmetics, like lip liner and eyeliner.
There are also differences in how the two types of tattoos are applied. To apply permanent makeup, a specialist carefully tattoos pigments under your upper layer of skin, otherwise known as the epidermis. This layer continually sheds, meaning the tattooed pigments will fade over time and need to be redone.
A full-on tattoo process involves depositing pigments in a deeper layer of skin called the dermis, which does not shed like the epidermis. Therefore, there is far less fading.
Freckled tattoos fall somewhere in the middle: they're semi-permanent. They're applied the same way as a traditional tattoo, but the ink isn't deposited as deeply into the skin. The freckles are designed to fade in a natural-looking fashion after a few years.
(#8) Microblading Can Give You The Perfect Brows

According to microblading expert Nadia Afanaseva, more and more women – and even some men – are turning to microblading to improve their brow line. As she explains, "Microblading is perfect for those who want to fully reconstruct, define, cover gaps, or fill-in over plucked brows."
During a procedure, a special microblading pen is used to individually draw each brow hair. The painstaking process takes about two hours to complete. Clients may experience some discomfort, but can rest easy knowing their perfectly balanced brows will last for up to three years.
