I love tattoos so much I’m covering my face – all my freckles are inked, people say I’ll regret it but they’re wrong
A WOMAN has revealed that her love for tattoos is so strong she’s started covering her face – even inking on words, dots AND faux freckles.
Daisy took to TikTok to share her unique inking – and despite what trolls say, she loves the unique tattoos that cover her face neck, arms, back and legs.
The Brisbane-based tattoo artist, known online as @daisylovesick, regularly shares the reality of her job with her 529,300 followers.
In a new reel, she explains why she made the decision to tattoo on faux freckles.
She said: “Every single one of my freckles is tattooed. Don’t they look cute?
“Let me take my glasses off so you can see them a little bit better…
“I started tattooing my own freckles at the start of 2020 and I’ve done them about once every 6 months since.
“I don’t ever touch up an existing freckle, I only ever add more. Sometimes I add up to 50 at a time. Sometimes I just do 10.
“Can see the ones that I did most recently cause they stand out the most. And then the ones that have really sort of sat and settled in, the really, really subtle ones that you can barely see, those are the ones that are about three years old.”
Pointing at a small light brown freckle near her mouth and then by her eyebrow, she added: “My favorite ones are these two down here, and then these three up there.”
Her unique ink attracted plenty of attention online, gaining more than 4,500 likes and 62,600 views.
In the comments, TikTokkers shared their reactions, with one writing: “They look sooo natural!”
“Cute af and never a chance of it turning into a skin cancer,” commented someone else.
Although not all were convinced, with another adding: “I don’t get it. I have always had freckles and I hate them wish I don’t have any. but ppl that don’t wants them… don’t get it. they horrible.”
In another video, Daisy shares some of the other tattoos she has on her face, adding: “My face tattoos are some of my favourite tattoos on my body.
“I mean, thank goodness, right? They’re so visible.
“Across the top of my forehead here it says, ‘strange as angels’… it’s from Just Like Heaven by The Cure… impeccable, love it.”
Pointing at two small black dots below her eyes, she continued: “My two little dots were done by John FTW who works at Black Throne in Brisbane. He’s done the vast majority of the work on my body, including these two little babies and I love them so much.”
During the two-minute video, the tattoo artist goes on to reveal she has inkings on her ears, on the inside of her lip, all over her neck, and onto her chest.
She also has colourful art littering her arms, entire back and her legs.
But what’s her response to those that say she’ll regret the permanent markings in years to come?
“My favorite response when someone tells me that I’m going to regret my tattoos when I’m older is to ask them why they care.
“I used to work in bars and clubs and spicy clubs, and people, particularly men, would say this kind of thing to me all of the time.
“The best response is to just look at them, keep the smile on your face, keep the friendly demeanor, and just be like, ‘why do you care though’?
“They’ll get flustered, they’ll sort of go like, ‘oh, eh, oh’.
“Keep going and be like, ‘you’re not gonna know me when I’m old. I don’t know you now, so I’m suddenly not gonna know you when I’m old, so why does it matter?’
“This makes the person saying it extremely uncomfortable because it forces them to confront the idea that they don’t care about what you’re going to look like when you’re older at all.
“They’re just using it as a reason to be a judgmental so and so right now.
“The best part about it is you don’t come across as aggressive or bitchy in any way, cause you’re literally just having a conversation. You just ping ponging it back to them and you really wanna know, why do they care?
“It works every time, trust me.”
