As it turns out, the recovery time from freckling is easy — just a few days to two weeks for full healing. And the longer you have the freckles, the more natural they'll begin to look, according to Byrdie. Though freckling can last from one to three years, the outlet noted, it's still important to get annual touch-ups, as the ink will naturally fade over time. And if you want to further extend the lifespan of the freckles, the inked specks on your nose take the longest to fade, per Byrdie.

Additionally, it's important to know that after getting freckles inked on your skin, you can't wear any makeup until the tattoo heals. And, since the healing time can take up to two weeks, as mentioned above, it might be a while before you're opening your foundation again — let alone your blush or bronzer. 

But, if the tattoo artist has given you the go-ahead, you're okay with the relevant permanency of the freckles, and you're all good with waiting a bit for the ink to heal... then why not freckle up your face?
