Young women have been left disfigured after taking part in a worrying TikTok beauty trend. The trend, which is believed to have been inspired in part by Meghan Markle's natural freckles, has seen people tattooing their faces to achieve the same look.
Experts have now issued warnings to users of the video-sharing platform after those taking part in the trend were left needing medical treatment. Some young women have also been left with permanent scarring and temporary blindness after injecting ink into their own faces.
While many people who have natural freckles aren't always keen on them the look has become increasingly popular with some believing it makes them look younger. As a result beauty professionals, who have long offered tattooing eyebrows as part of their services, are now turning to freckles.
