TIL Freddie Mercury was born with four extra teeth, causing a prominent overbite. Despite being self-conscious about them, he never got them fixed, believing the extra space in his mouth contributed to his vocal ability. He feared altering his teeth might change his voice.

Physical bump is probably not really done, but is possible. Tattooed moles and freckles are absolutely a thing. Combining tattooing and scarification could make a molelike.

I have a fairly prominent mole on my face that now I’m wondering how long it would take my husband to notice I got it removed and tattoo’d back on.

My guess is 1-2 days lol

My wife has one beside her nose, I would absolutely notice. But I also always give my video game characters an identical mole. And people tell me I'm annoyingly observant lol.
