    Generally, do freckles cause problems with tattoos?
    Does the ink cover them completely, or does it look thick?

    Thanks

    As a fresh tattoo, yes, they'll be covered, but over time the pigment starts to fade and your freckles will become more visible again.

    It depends on the colour of the Tattoo.Black tattoos will cover freckles completely whereas lighter colours(blue,green etc) allow the pigment in the freckle to come through again as the pigment settles into the skin.

    well i have a tattoo (all blackwork) on my arm and i have a couple of dark freckles in and around it but it doesnt really bother me to tell you the truth... if however you have a lot of freckles, then definately stick to clear blackwork, and probably keep the lines thick too... stay away from any reddish tones of ink whatsoever because after time it will fade.. that is a given.. so as long as your thinkin of what it will look like in 5-10 yrs then just go for it... !
    :D
