These faux freckles are created to look the most natural, asymmetrically scattered across the nose and cheeks. The tattoo artist will typically use varying sizes and shapes to mimic the randomness of natural freckles.

Some people want freckles tattooed in specific areas to enhance certain features, like under the eyes or on the cheekbones.
