Abstract
Melanocytic nevi especially on the face, neck, and chest are considered a sign of beauty since historic times. Since historic times and in various cultures, these nevi are associated with beauty and attractiveness, thus called beauty spots. Artificial beauty marks have been fashionable since the medieval era. it requires repetitive use easily making it a cumbersome process. Tattooed beauty marks by medical professionals or tattoo artists are commonly done but require frequent touch-ups with a risk of complications. So we came up with a very innovative technique of tissue grafting of an existing lentigines/melanocyte nevus to the desired site which gave a natural and permanent solution.
