Tattooing is a procedure that periodically undergoes changes within the framework of its style and types of work. Tattooing the front sight is a cosmetic innovation that has attracted many girls who want to transform their appearance.
Permanent makeup, a spot looks like a mole in a selected part of the face, according to the client’s preference. You can list cases in which such a technique will help hide or emphasize the necessary points. To do this, you should turn to the advantages of such a tattoo.
Usually girls do the tattoo procedure on their face based on a photo, they are guided by the following motives:
There are other cases in which girls do a similar technique, but this is less common. It usually doesn’t matter why a girl makes a front sight, but once the reason is determined, the cosmetologist will be able to better fulfill the initial desire.
Before tattooing, you should discuss the intricacies of tattooing with the artist so that he can understand what you want to see from her in the end. The color of the mole is selected, as well as its size and shape, and possible motives for drawing it are determined.
Also, the day before your appointment, you should not drink alcohol, energy drinks, or coffee, as they worsen blood clotting, which is a limitation for tattooing.
At the beginning of the main session, a mockup is drawn to approve it with the client. If necessary, changes are made to the resulting draft.
Decorative cosmetics are removed from the girl’s face using a cotton pad and micellar water, as they interfere with the correct application of the design by the cosmetologist. Then anesthesia is applied in the form of an ointment so as not to re-injure skin covering an injection.
After the onset of anesthesia (up to 20 minutes), the preparation for the master’s work ends, and the introduction of a dye under the cover in the chosen style of the fly begins.
In previous centuries, flies were popular with duchesses and empresses. At first they were ordinary skin features, but then they became fashionable, which is why ordinary peasants tried to imitate them and painted flies.
In the second mid-twentieth century, moles went out of fashion; girls preferred to use bright colors in makeup, but not the style of the gentle Middle Ages.
Now flies are becoming more popular because women are losing the meaning of bright makeup, considering capitalist, businesslike, soft colors to be stylish.
However, there is a difference: if previously large spots were drawn, now small dots are preferred, which emphasize the femininity and tenderness of the girl’s features. In this case, they are drawn near the eyelid or above the lip: on the left or on the right.
During the month of tattooing, there is a period of restoration of the damaged epidermis. The master usually gives instructions on how to care for the cells so that they recover faster.
Typically, rehabilitation takes place in the following order:
This is where the care ends; the rest of the time it is enough just to provide external factors for the epidermis so that the cells continue to regenerate themselves.
The front sight usually lasts less than other types of tattooing, as it is often affected in Everyday life, which affects its durability.
The average lifespan of a front sight tattoo is a year. At good conditions it extends up to two years, but for this it is necessary to provide the correct protection for the skin.
Durability is also affected by the depth of introduction and the color of the pigment; these factors are controlled by a specialist. You can specifically choose a darker option so that the result lasts longer.
The first correction is always carried out a month after tattooing, when cell restoration is complete. At the appointment, the master evaluates the applied drawing and the clarity of the outline. The front sight is usually not corrected since the technique is simple to apply.
The client controls the rest of the corrections himself. He can periodically refresh the front sight, or wait until it fades completely.
Moles live on our body regardless of our desires - they are given to us from birth. They bother some people, and then they are removed; others are proud of them, attributing a special meaning to the location of the birthmark.Moles on the face and body have always been held in special esteem.Previously, a person’s character, his secret passions and temperament were immediately determined by a mole. If a woman did not have a mole in one place or another on her face, or, for example, on her chest, which was considered sexually fascinating, she simply drew it herself, misleading a lot of fans, or a fly - a piece of black fabric - was glued to the desired place.
A painted mole or glued-on spot performed the most important function - to hide skin defects - pimples, pockmarks, scars - from prying eyes. In addition, the artificial mole perfectly emphasized the natural whiteness of the skin, creating a harmonious contrast. Modern girls, who are interested not only in fashion and style, but want to have an impeccable appearance, pay attention to the meaning and abilities of moles, sometimes skillfully drawing them themselves, like their predecessors several centuries ago, attracting gentlemen and hiding pimples. But with the advent of such a field as permanent makeup, the need to stand extra priceless minutes in front of the mirror every day disappears by itself, because tattooing today is also applicable in order to recreate what nature forgot to note - a spot on the face or body.
Not without the help of the media the most popular places to plant the fly are the cheek and the area above upper lip.
A cosmetic spot or artificial mole is the result of the work of a permanent makeup specialist. 
Any girl, if she wants, can make such a front sight for herself today in the same way as outlining the contour of her lips or eyes, making them more expressive, eliminating the need to apply bright makeup. The most important thing is that the artificial front sight looks absolutely natural, and no one can guess that this is not a natural mark, but the result of the work of a qualified specialist.
Very important: A cosmetic spot can be used to disguise, for example, a scar or other defect on the skin, but in no case should you create an artificial mole in place of a natural one, under the pretext of masking or correcting its shape. This is extremely dangerous and can lead to severe inflammation and cancer.
Before moving on to the process of directly driving a cosmetic composition under the skin, which will form a new mole, the master talks with the client. The location of the front sight, its color and size are determined. Then an anesthetic cream is applied to the site of the future fly, which, however, is not at all necessary, because the process takes a short time. If we are talking about hypersensitive areas, then pain relief is desirable. Then everything happens exactly the same as when applying any tattoo - the master draws a circle from the center in a spiral, gradually expanding it to the desired diameter. In this case, the needle is selected either single or triple, depending on the desired size. The paint used to “paint” a mole is the same as that used in tattooing, for example, eyebrows. It is better if it is a natural brownish color, depending, of course, on the individual characteristics of the person.
A master who has sufficient experience is unlikely to make a mistake, and the front sight will look natural. But the slightest mistake: not a warm, but a cold shade, too great a depth of introduction of the coloring composition - and on the face you will not see an elegant, noble brown mole, but a speck of unknown origin with a bluish tint. The color black is never used for an artificial mole.
The procedure ends with the application of anesthetic agents., and at home you will have to apply Actovegin twice a day - and so on until the initial crust comes off, as with any permanent makeup. In a couple of weeks, the secondary crust will come off and the fly will take on its final appearance. A cosmetic mole lasts a very long time: in areas with active blood circulation for about 10 years, and if a mole is “stuck” on the cheek or chest area, then its owner will be able to impress fans with it throughout her life.
It is difficult to imagine a European lady of the 17th-18th century without flies. Whenever we talk about the times of “red heels and stately wigs,” we always remember this little accessory. Without flies, the lady of the “gallant era” felt undressed.
By origin, the front sight is an ancient Eastern imitation of a mole, which the Arabs and Persians considered a facial decoration. In ancient times in the East it was believed that beautiful woman There must certainly be at least one mole on the face. Flies there were made from aromatic substances and crushed jewelry.
If nature had given a woman a mole, it could be made from indigo mixed with powdered precious stones, with the addition of an aromatic mixture. And then it was possible to reward yourself for the “unfairness of fate”
When Eastern influences took over European fashion, flies became an object of desire. Miniature circles, stars, and intricate figures (like a drawn carriage), made of black taffeta, were glued onto their faces; sometimes the flies depicted some intriguing scenes. From time to time the flies came unstuck: in this case, each lady had with her an elegant box with a supply of flies.
In the middle of the 17th century, when a real “fly epidemic” swept through Europe, people were no longer content with small black spots made of taffeta. They began to make flies from velvet, and sometimes of such a size that a real wound could be hidden under them. To make these huge patches as piquant as possible, some ladies decorated them with precious stones.
According to the authoritative testimony of Voltaire (from the book “The Age of Louis 14th”), many dandies did not disdain flies. A combat commander could, without a twinge of conscience, draw in his eyebrows, curl his hair into paper curlers at night, and stick flies on his face. Both men and women applied entire layers of white, powder and blush to their faces, lined their eyes, and wore bright lipsticks. The fly brought these strange mask faces to life.
It was considered, however, bad manners to cover one’s face to the point of being unrecognizable - such disgrace was “befitting” only among courtesans.
At the height of the obsession with flies, around the middle of the 17th century, the question was fiercely debated without a hint of humor: is it decent to stick more than three flies on your face at once? Apparently those who glued 18 flies (which was not uncommon) did not participate in the disputes.
In order to somehow regulate the use of artificial moles and take into account all the shades of their meanings, a special “Register of Flowers and Flies” was even published.
It is believed that the front sight owes its appearance to the British Duchess of Newcastle, whose skin left much to be desired. The Duchess inventively played up her shortcomings with the help of round pieces of black taffeta, which began to play the role of “artificial moles” on her face.
With their help, it was possible not only to “defeat” skin unevenness, but also to highlight the whiteness of the face. In England, this black circle began to be called a “beauty spot”, and also a patch or speckle. In France, where the fashion for flies penetrated very quickly, they began to be called moucheron or mouche (fly). It was the tracing of this Gallicism that later took root in Russia.
In addition to its purely corrective function, the front sight was of great importance for the court beauty: with the help of this insignificant piece of material it was even possible to change her facial expression! Glued near the corner of the mouth, the front sight made the face seem ... smiling (at that time everything natural, real was not welcomed: it was more correct not to be, but to appear).
But the most favorite place for the fly was the neckline or upper chest.
As soon as you glued the fly to the right place, the eyes of those around you immediately turned exactly there.
The Rococo era softened and reduced these funny flies; they became smaller and more graceful. The front sight began to simply depict a piquant mole. Ladies of society carried with them special elegant boxes with a hinged lid, such as powder compacts and snuff boxes - muchniks. They contained small circles cut from velvet or silk.
When the authors write about the “gallant age” as an era of debauchery and sexual promiscuity, they turn out to be wrong - flirting, omissions, undertones and coquetry that did not lead to any “terrible consequences” were in fashion.
"The language of flies" - obvious to that confirmation. The lady could not express her affection to the gentleman or, on the contrary, refuse reciprocity. To do this, she resorted to allegories. Flies, glued to the face in a special way, could say more about their owner than she could allow herself.
Depending on the location on the face, the front sight meant one or another mood of the lady:
. in the middle of the forehead - inaccessibility;
. in the corner of the mouth - “I am merciful today”;
. under the lower lip - modesty;
. above the upper lip - flirtatiousness;
. in the fold of a smile - frivolity;
. on the temple of the left eye - passion;
. on the temple of the right eye - “I am inclined to rub you a little”;
. on the chin - “I love you, but I don’t see you”;
. in the middle of the cheek - courtesy;
. and if a little higher - “I agree”;
. under our noses - “we must part.”
Each lady had a supply of flies and at the ball, depending on the situation, she could change the location of the flies in the dressing room.
Different sources contain different interpretations of the position of the front sights (the meanings probably changed over time). The historian M.N. Mertsalova writes that the crescent moon was an invitation for a night date, the cupid meant love, and the carriage meant consent to run away together.
The round spot located between the temple and the eye was called the “killer” or “passionate person.” If there were two or three spots on the face, then the interpretation depended on the woman’s age, social status and reputation.
Men also sometimes used flies, but, of course, less often than their wives, daughters and “ladies.” 
The fashion for flies did not escape Russia, where it arrived during the time of Catherine the Second; Even women from families of schismatics could not resist the flies.
In those days, flies were one of the most necessary parts of a woman’s “outfit”; without them, not a single lady dared to appear in society. Each well-placed front sight contrasted with impeccably smooth skin and captured the passionate male gaze, emphasizing the “seductiveness of its surroundings.”
After the French Revolution, the fashion for flies died out. However, ladies continued to use “artificial moles” from time to time. At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, when languor and mystery were in fashion, many society ladies and film actresses stuck a piquant mole on their cheek.
And in the 60s of the 20th century, a fashion resembling flies arose in Europe and the United States: women began to glue small beads, multi-colored coins, and sparkles to their necks, foreheads, hands, and even knees. The meaning was the same: to draw attention to yourself and the desired part of the body.
By the way, we note that artificial moles were once again remembered thanks to the artists of the creative association “World of Art”. At the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, a short-lived interest in the gallant age arose, resurrecting flies both in picturesque subjects and literary images that poeticize the gallant porcelain age, and in the everyday behavior of artists, poets, and musicians. “New flies” were no longer always glued on, but were more often drawn with a makeup pencil in the form of tiny hearts, butterflies, crescents, stars and the sun.
Currently, this accessory is used in cinema, theater and on the catwalk - at exclusive clothing shows.
In an old great-grandmother’s old chest you can always find a small, worn silver box in which small black circles cut from taffeta or velvet - flies - are kept. Not a single social beauty of past centuries went to a ball or other public event without a box of flies. After all, a tiny velvet sticker on the face not only gave a woman a unique charm, but also sometimes decided the fate of its owner, since its location could tell a lot that was not customary to say out loud.
The history of the invention of the fly is lost in the mists of time, but it is known for sure that it was originally used to attract the attention of the opposite sex to the most advantageous features of her appearance, from the point of view of a flirtatious beauty.
As you know, in ancient times in the East they said that a woman without a mole on her face is “like a dawn without the sun,” since a mole on a woman’s face was considered a sign of passionate nature. But not every oriental beauty got moles, and therefore inventive women came up with the idea of using artificial moles from aromatic mixtures and paints.
The ability to give oneself a special charm with the help of an artificial mole quickly spread throughout the world. And now the ancient Greek poet Aristophanes sings of beauty female face with a piquant mole near the lips, and meanwhile ancient physicians - first Galen, and then his students - successfully produced and sold aromatic mixtures for creating man-made moles-flies.
With the advent of fashion for skin whitening, women found the opportunity to place the necessary accents even on a white-covered face. And here artificial moles-spots came to the rescue again, which began to be made from black taffeta or velvet.
Actually, these dark circles began to be called flies in Russia by analogy with the French word mouche(fly) when the fashion for this cute accessory came there from France.
Flies were placed not only where they wanted to emphasize the purity and tenderness of the skin or a seductive neckline. Each such fly instantly attracted the eye to the most advantageous, in the coquette’s opinion, charms of the face, shoulders, chest or arms.
There is still an opinion that young beauties also masked acne with moles. If ancient Roman beauties used graceful circles stuck to their faces to mask unsightly pimples and warts, then beauties of later centuries needed facial camouflage products much more than their predecessors, since smallpox was rampant in Europe, leaving many scars on their faces.
One of the first to figure out how to hide facial imperfections with the help of flies was the British Duchess of Newcastle. According to the testimony of her contemporaries, the duchess was very unlucky with her facial skin, but her position obliged her to appear in society, and she ingeniously covered especially unattractive places with flies, shading the advantageous whiteness of her face.
The brilliant circle of the French king Louis XIII quickly picked up the fashion for graceful moles. However, some historical sources indicate that flies owe their first appearance at the French court to one of the royal courtiers, who was shaved extremely poorly and was forced to mask the marks of cuts with black taffeta circles.
However, the capabilities of the front sight are both fashion accessory turned out to be much broader than just decorating the face and hiding skin imperfections. With the help of flies pasted on the face, it was possible to transmit information to people aware of the significance of the location of the front sight. The invention of the secret language of flies is attributed to the favorite of the French king, the Marquise de Pompadour. This extraordinary woman could flirt with several admirers at the same time, periodically re-sticking the spots on her face and thereby serving them secret signs.
Well, what can you do, the morals of past centuries were very harsh, and women often could not afford to directly express certain intentions or decisions. And the flies came to the rescue here too. Thus, a spot in the middle of the forehead meant inaccessibility, in the corner of the mouth - favor, above the upper lip - a desire to flirt, in the fold of a smile - frivolity, on the temple of the left eye - passion of feelings, in the middle of the left cheek - joy, on the tip of the nose - refusal, in the upper part of the right cheek - consent.
The flies could have a very intricate shape - in the form of a crescent (with a proposal for a night date) or even a carriage (agreement to a joint escape).
However, depending on the state and era, the meaning of the location of the spots on the face changed, but even to this day, looking at ancient engravings and portraits, we try to guess what secrets this or that beauty with a spot-mole near her lips wanted to convey to us.
Times and morals are changing, women no longer need the secret language of signs given by moles, and have the opportunity to emphasize their beauty with the help of an arsenal of cosmetics, and yet the mole mole is increasingly declaring its special rights in enhancing female charm.
Thus, in the 60s of the last century in France and America, a fashion arose for gluing small sparkles and multi-colored beads to the neck and forehead, which attracted the attention of others. Isn’t it true, this fashion resembles the return of flies in their new manifestation.
Marilyn Monroe's birthmark has become as famous a symbol of her as her curls and bright lipstick. In addition, stylists of many modern stars - such as Cindy Crawford - recommend that they not disguise moles on their faces, but rather emphasize them as a special distinctive element of their appearance. After all, no matter how fashion changes, moles continue to attract attention, remaining a sign of a woman’s special charm and unique personality.
Published today on "Snob" interesting article about the secret language of lovers that has sunk into oblivion - postage stamps. I remembered what I read by Laclau in " Dangerous Liaisons"about the language of flies. The author of the article objected that flies were used solely to hide skin defects and focus attention on the charms of a beauty. One of the ladies, who did not deign to answer me personally (snobs), gave a link to this article and also posted an engraving, mapping the face with flies.

The shapes of the flies varied depending on the whims of fashion. These could be crescents, triangles, stars, and even silhouettes of various objects. Thus, carriage flies and ship flies are known.
It was considered, however, bad manners to cover up one’s face to the point of being unrecognizable - such disgrace was “appropriate” only among courtesans.
The 17th, and especially the 18th century, can also be called the “era of flirting.” A well-mannered lady should have been able to flirt with several gentlemen at once, without going beyond the bounds of decency.
In the “gallant age,” flirting, omissions, halftones, and coquetry that did not lead to any “terrible consequences” were in fashion.
“The language of flies” is a clear confirmation of this. The lady could not express her affection to the gentleman or, on the contrary, refuse reciprocity. To do this, she resorted to allegories.
