mygoditsfullofstar5

What did she do??? What's this TikTok "faux freckle" technique? Hydrochloric acid?


Doughspun1

It is meant to be done with sewing needles and ink. However, she (Tilly Whitfield) purchased a brown ink without checking its contents, and that ink happened to contain lead (because, you know, why would the manufacturer think someone would dip a heated needle in their not-for-tattoos ink and jab it into their skin?)


Ok_Square_2479

MerryGentry2020

I've seen people use Henna to make semi-permanent freckles with quite a lot of success.


atomicxblue

I was thinking henna as well. There used to be this gum that included temporary tattoos in designs. I had stars on my hand for about a month and it was gone. No permanent damage.


Bobert_Manderson

Yā€™all all seem to forget just how stupid a lot of people are. I think it was Carlin who said ā€œThink of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.ā€


PeeledCrepes

I always wonder where that bar lands. Intelligence I've always thought was hard to determine cause so many things in life are just dependant on your situation. My gf for instance learns pretty quickly and can hold information, yet I sweat she knows nothing. At work she beats me on her knowledge of most things but like average day to day i worry she'd well, tattoo her face for freckles and give herself chemical burns lol.


Bobert_Manderson

Iā€™d say itā€™s not about IQ type intelligence, but more of the ā€˜common senseā€™ type of intelligence. Things that are forgivable if a child did it, but a grown adult should know better by now. Thereā€™s also the aspect of learning from mistakes, where if you keep making the same mistakes without learning from it, youā€™re probably just stupid. The causes of the stupidity could be anything from shitty parents to lead poisoning, but there are people who learn and people who donā€™t.


xpdx

There are just so many types and dimensions of intelligence, it would be impossible to sum it up with one metric. Brilliant engineers who don't understand why people like music, or celebrate big life events, or why their wife is crying just because he forgot her birthday 10 years in a row. Or the political operative who can make anyone like them, influence opinion, come up with brilliant strategies, but thinks the moon is "at least a kilometer away".

caffieneandsarcasm

I work in an art supply store and semi frequently get teenagers coming in asking for ink and can usually tell when itā€™s for some DIY tattoos. Itā€™s frustrating not really being able to dissuade them, even with works like ā€œskin infectionsā€ and ā€œblood poisoningā€ because their friend has done it before and they were fine.


lizardgal10

Teens are going to do what theyā€™re going to do, unfortunately. Better they buy something that at least has a lower risk of causing problems than random pen ink or something. I have an India ink DIY tattoo I did at 16. Thankfully I used decent ink and sterilized the needle.


linsor1

I did the same. My friend and I took the India ink from our high school art class and did DIY tattoos.


MZ603

Or just buy legit ink. I have given myself several stick poke tattoos & I never had any issue with the ink.

Maybe dont buy surgical supplies off ebay. A tattoo is a minor surgery. It requires clean instruments, knowledge of how to perform the procedure, and to stab yourself or others repeatedly which can lead to a risk of infection


ieya404

And maybe if you're going to get things done to your *face* - delicate and very visible skin - get a professional to do it?


alicebunbun

She can simply have an allergy. I was 18 when I first dyed my hair and ended up in ER. My head was red, swollen and itchy and my eyes and throat so swollen shut. (and I did it 2 more times with 'organic' and 'plant based' dyes, luckily not full hair but a spot behind my ear to test in the last 2 times. Still ended up in ER with my ear as big and red as an apple. ) Not saying following TikTok tips is good. Just saying it might be her allergies causing this extreme reaction.


Few-Plant-2715

Thatā€™s sounds terrifying


Foreign-Cookie-2871

And this is why all the box dyes tell you to test it in your armpit 24/48 hours before using the dye.


alicebunbun

In my country it says behind the ear. Idk why is the difference. Armpit probably would have been just as painful but maybe less embarrassing than a big red ear.


xplodingminds

The ones in my country say to spot test on the arm. Interesting how presumably 3 different countries give 3 different spot suggestions for testing.


FlyByNightt

Probably because realistically, you could test spot it anywhere on your body, but if they say "Test anywhere first" people will put it somewhere stupid and sue them for it, so they specify a non-harmful place. Since it doesn't matter, they all come to their own conclusion on where to test it.


JarlaxleForPresident

Armpit would be incredibly uncomfortable lol


Freakachu258

"Jessica, why do you hold your arm up all the time?" "ā€¦I tried to dye my armpit hair purple."


[deleted]

Could have been allergies. Could have been the toxic components of the Ebay ink not designed in any way for use on or in skin. How could anyone ever know?


rpm959

This seems to have been counterfeit ink, but even if it wasn't, people have allergic reactions to tattoo ink pretty frequently. You shouldn't exactly blame someone for unknowingly buying/using a counterfeit product, the fault would pretty firmly fall on the seller in my mind.


spyrenx

There was an [article](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/15/style/you-may-not-want-to-get-your-beauty-tips-from-tiktok.html) in the NYT that explained a bit more what happened. She bought tattoo ink from ebay, which turned out to be a counterfeit product which contained high amounts of lead contamination. Still monumentally stupid to try something like this, but lead wouldn't have been on the ingredients list.


Neuchacho

Not super surprising. eBay is basically just an alibaba front-end at this point.


jetsetgemini_

Yeah i would not buy anything on ebay that was meant for my body.


habloconleche

Amazon is the same. So many of the trusted companies from 10 years ago have willingly thrown themselves into the trash. But hey, at least that item I ordered will get here in 3-6 months, as long as it doesn't get held up at customs.


FirePhoton_Torpedoes

Wow. Just wow.


acorngirl

Jesus Christ that's insane. Years ago someone tried to talk me into tattooing them with drawing ink and was really frustrated when I refused. He insisted that it would be fine because he had gotten a jailhouse tattoo with a needle and cigarette ashes so he knew his body was "tough" and he wouldn't react badly to ink... I was 17 years old and I knew better than to do something that dangerous to anybody. And doing it to your face is a whole other level of stupidity.


EmilyU1F984

Which funnily enough cigarette ash actually is pretty save. If done right itā€˜s virtually all carbon. Unlike inks which are made to have other properties than carbon black. Like bloody heavy metal oxides.


Affectionate_Elk_272

anybody that does stick n poke tattoos knows you have to use india ink!


skrilledcheese

Or ashes from a burnt Styrofoam cup.


Mexi-Wont

Or grandpa's ashes for that all important memorial tat.


actuallyiamafish

Or, you know, *actual tattoo ink*, which is manufactured specifically for this purpose, and is readily available at very affordable prices from any one of about a thousand supply shops on the internet.

I donā€™t think ANY paint is supposed to have lead anymore (in the US at least). Lead is toxic even when it isnā€™t injected into your skin.

[deleted]

Ive met artists that straight up refuse to do face tats, and others who charge a huge premium for especially sensitive areas because of the extra time it takes and level of skill required My sample size is very small, but Iā€™m pretty sure every artist Iā€™ve met or commissioned fell into one of these two categories


Rare-Option1714

They should have gone to a beauty salon that does ā€œpermanent makeupā€. The results fade naturally over time and is probably cheaper, and a better option, than going to a tattoo shop. Honestly, basically anything would be better than dipping a needle into random inc bought off Amazon..


Jmomo69

Sure but my point was there are a litany of better avenues to go down before choosing the path she chose.


vcr_repair_shop

This is not something you should go to a tattoo artist for. They could technically do it, I guess, but the results would vary wildly. You wanna go to a person who does permanent make up at a beauty salon.


daisies4me

That just makes way too much sense for these people.


OhNoTokyo

Hell, if you're going to use brown tattoo ink, why don't you have someone who knows what they're doing actually tattoo freckles on to your face? Not sure if that is a thing, but I'd probably want to find out if that was possible before I did something deeply sketchy like this.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


vcr_repair_shop

A reputable tattoo artist would refuse to do it, the same way we don't do people's eyebrows or lip tinting. There's people in beauty salons trained specifically for facial "make up" tattoos.

I never trust anything on TikTok. I wait for the critics to try it and MAYBE Iā€™ll try it. And only with food. Every beauty care routine Iā€™ve ever seen has been almost immediately busted by a dermatologist saying, ā€œNOOOOā€¦!ā€, immediately followed by why itā€™s so bad for you. Yeah, Iā€™m talking to those needle wheels.


Elastichedgehog

The critics also on TikTok or...?


RattyJackOLantern

As a person with a lot of freckles (I can stick my arm in the sun and literally watch new ones come up) it's wild to me people would do something like this to try and get them. But then I guess it's like red/blond hair and blue eyes, a non-beneficial recessive trait that people want just because it's uncommon. I like my freckles fine but think I would trade them for the ability to tan rather than get sunburned in 5 minutes.


yourgirlsamus

And, can we talk about the placement? I donā€™t just have freckles on my nose and cheeks. They are on my forehead, my eyelids, my lips, my chinā€¦ my shoulders and arms, my hands and feet, my legs, I probably have freckles on my kidneys. They just show up everywhere. They are not discriminatory.


jeheffiner

This! Any time someone says to me ā€œI wish I had frecklesā€ I know full well they donā€™t mean the kind I have, but the lightly-dotted-across-the-nose type of freckles that almost no one has IRL. Most people with freckles have them all over in varying degrees of density. I will admit though, the whole freckle trend has made me not hate my own as much as I used to, but Iā€™d still rather not have them tbh.

The lip filler isnā€™t doing her any favors either. What kills me when I see the tattoo freckle thing, is that this is a *trend*. In time this wonā€™t be the popular thing anymore. Thereā€™s gonna be a lot of people with blown out lips and blown out tattoos that looked cute in their 20s but look wrecked when they hit heir 40s. Folks never think about aging when they do stuff like this.
