I had a coworker from another campus shadow me today. She had small, brightly colored, multicolored freckles tattooed on her face. It was charming & 100% the best part of my day. Tattooed freckles! I got a dopamine hit every time I looked at her. ♥️ Do you even know how much shit I got growing up with freckles?? And now people are tattooing them on!? How awesome is that!?

Can you see circles or rectangles? And does the answer depend on where you grew up?
