Just when we thought we had seen it all.
Freckles have been a massive beauty trend over the last year or so. From stick-on freckles to makeup freckles, there was no shortage of ways to add the seemingly random dots on your skin.
But the latest version of the beauty trend is just out of this world.
One US-based cosmetic tattoo artist has created AstroFrecks, which hides the stars in your freckles.
Jessica Knapik hides a star sign in the clients’ semi-permanent freckles that she tattoos on their faces.
And the tattooed freckles begin to fade over time, making them look more natural and realistic.
She explained that she first got the idea for AstroFrecks after being inspired by crystals and the goings on in the universe.

She added to Bustle:
“I also love things with hidden meanings. This way you could get your Mom’s astrological sign, your Dad’s, your Grandma’s, and kind of pay tribute without getting a giant heart that says ‘Mom.'”
The otherworldly designs are applied using a cosmetic tattooing technique, which is a mix of a different pigment, application and technique that is less harsh on the skin.
She added:
“Cosmetic tattoo artists are trained a little more in aesthetics — beauty, face shapes, brow shapes. Cosmetic tattooing is also semi-permanent, so this won’t last forever.
“It’s perfect for freckles, because the older ones will be more faint and the newer ones will be darker, exactly like real freckles.
“And if you’re sick of it, you just stop getting touch-ups and go back to how your face was before.”
She’s only done AstroFrecks for one client so far, but she would “love to do more”.
Jessica said:
“I’m one of those people who can’t just do things the easy way. I have to put my own spin on it. Yes, this does create a little more work and planning on my end, but it’s totally worth it to do something unique and special for my client.”
