Looks good. Does it grow? No homo.

Thanks. No it doesn't. It's micro pigmentation...they replicate hair follicles giving the appearance of a shaved head.
-
Why bother if its still going to be shaved like that?
-
I could see why someone would want to do it. It cuts down on the maintenance a bit, and cuts down on the "hey I'm bald" vibe, if someone isn't comfortable with hair loss. I do wonder how it it will age though, not many older men go with the stubble look, I gues you cross that bridge when you come to it, looks good now.
-
How much?
-
Looks pretty good.
-
How much?
Mine was $2,600 and it took two sessions. But prices can range anywhere from close to 1,000 to a bit over 3,000 depending on how much work needs to be done.
-
Kinda looks like Phil Heath's head in the second pic. ;D
-
I think I made it to the last page on the internet with this thread. WTF? Fake stubble?
-
You don't really see the full result of how it will look until about 10 days after. Before I did it I talked to a couple different guys that had it done and if they didn't tell me I would have no idea.
-
Looks good but why not opt for plugs?
-
we're supposed to know what the hell SMP means? ???
-
Props bro, looks good, if it gives you more confidence more power too you!
-
WTF is SMP ??? Is that tatoo'd on ???
-
Looks great brotha. I think it will look better as it heals up since it's a tattoo on your scalp. The scalp has millions of little capillaries that if messed with give it a slightly swollen/redish look. Once it's healed I think it will look even better. The good thing about this is that people will look at it and think 'this guy is not bald, he just chooses to keep his head shaved' which is the ultimate intention of scalp micro pigmentation.
-

bcs visually it frames ur face and u dont look like a meat helmet where it's unclear where the face ends and the cranium starts

Seems like a good idea. I may look into it.
-
what are you gonna do when your own hair turns gray? Your gonna have black tattoo on top and gray on the sides
-

Yup. And looks like ass if you don't shave your head every day.
-
looks great really.
-

lot's of folks are gray at the sides. My hair looks white from a distance. Up close is a different story....more "salt and pepper."
Aside from seeing photos where the hairline looks somewhat artificial, it seems like a great idea, if you don't like the real bald look.
-
I thought about getting this done but opted for a transplant instead (which I got done earlier this year). SMP helps frame the face but it leaves you stuck with the same look for the rest of your life.

a tattoo would have been cheaper, and its exactly the same.
"micro pigmentation", fucking mug...

Have you ever seen people with tattooed eyebrows which look completely fake? Before I'd submit to a tattooed 5 o'clock shadow on my head, I'd need to feel very confident about the quality of the tattoo artists work, no matter whether they call it micropigmentation or just a tattoo.

micro-pigmentation is just a posh word for a tattoo.

I'll keep shaving my head.

Going to a tattoo artist and asking them to replicate smp wouldn't work. The type of ink, needle, and method it is applied are completely different.
-
Looks good.
Far less complications and hassle than a hair transplant.

While it looks okay....im worried for you how it will look in years to come when the ink starts to turn color and blur, It will definiately look like shit when you're older I can gaurentee that.
And exactly what buddy says, it is just a fancy word for tattoo. micropigmentation? really....its a fucking tattoo. And theres tattoo parlours out there doing the exact same work with results for less. These clinics acting like doctors are scam artists cashing in on this fad.

Damn 2600 I'd rather keep shaving my head.

The ink used for smp doesn't change color...Over time, usually about 5 years, it will lighten up some and touch up procedure could be done. The reg tattoo ink would most def turn more bluish over the years.

looks natural to me :D

I'm in sales, and sounds like something I would say to close the sale...
Check out this blue head, after SMP from recognized doctor. Poor fella.

Just end up looking like Bam Bam Bigelow in a few years. Y'alls go for it.
Got lucky. I have full head of hair.
-

This.We process faces in 3rds, when the upper 3rd doesn't end it isn't as attractive as having hair or even appearance of stubble to frame the face.

Yeah I've seen a few of those while researching the procedure. As with any industry there is good and bad and you have to make sure you are dealing with a reputable place. Any SMP provider using regular tattoo ink, or without the proper equipment, training, and experience, will jack up your head.

My buddy got a transplant 3 years ago. His hair to me looks exactly the same. Maybe a bit more cabbage but still looks like he's losing his hair. And he was barely balding. Also once you get the transplant you got to go on all those prescription lotions etc for life. Who knows what that shit will do to you long term. idk
-
Look at Tiger Woods. Probably worth 500 million and has had transplants and all other types of hair replacement systems and looks like shit today. Tiger should get micropig done...

They did a great job on Urlacher

My mrs was in a club years ago and a guy who came with another of our friends had just spent a few grand on a hair transplant, he started flirting with my Mrs (she was single back then no cuckold), she said "Im just going looking for a bald guy, I find them really sexy"

Are are people so insecure that they get tattoos on their heads? Yes, some people have fucked up heads and look stupid shaved, but a tattoo isn't going to change that. ???

debatable
the illusion of hair will still take the focus off their dome as it frames the face
u clearly dont know shit

That looks pretty neat.
Where did you get this done? Is there a tattoo shop you went to?
"1"
-
someone needs to tell palumbo about smp
basically trying to do it with shoe polish now
so why not get it done right
-
That looks really good bro. Night and day difference. I bet you look and feel younger.

Yep, looks great until a girl puts her hand on it, charade blown.
-

Perhaps you didn't get that you'd have to shave you head with SMP unless you want to look like some weird freak. It replicates a five o'clock shadow, not a full head of hair.
-

Scalp Micro USA in NYC...top notch. it's not the same as getting a tattoo so don't go to a tattoo shop...do a search for SMP in your area and then do some research to make sure that they are reputable.

I've seen it up close and unless I knew they had the procedure done I would have no clue. Transplants or a hair piece are much easier to spot.
-
Black younger guy I work with...25..lost all his hair...and came back...he kept saying he put grease on it. Knew he paid for surgery....id do the same...as long as no scars ....looks good either way....thinking about doing myself...heard 5k...anyways looks good bro....can u tell us how long u were out from work...and any side effects ...i don't want that happy scar face in back of head

How long before you'll need to have it re-done as tatts fade? And did they show you pics of what it will look like when it fades? Will it be much cheaper to get it re-done when it does fade or is it the same amount of work to fix?

It won't really look a lot different other than it will lighten up some. Usually about 5 years according to what I was told and read online. At that point you can do a couple touch up sessions which are much cheaper than the initial cost.

grow out the rest and you have instant samurai. thats a good look for you

If I chose this, it would need to be lighter to begin with. Black or dark brown dots with white hair might look odd.

They will match the color based on existing hair and skin tone.

They'd need to be extraordinary artists to get it right with my coloring. I have olive skin and gray to white hair. This would be a big challenge.
For many years, I dyed my moustache. Anything darker than dirty blond made me look like Poncho Villa.
One thing that's a positive is the price. $2,000 to $3,000 is peanuts compared to what a lot of folks spend on haircuts over the years. And if your talking about a decent rug, plugs or scalp reduction, this procedure knocks those out of the park, cost wise.
-
Now that you've got the illusion of hair sorted out. What procedures do you have lined up to tackle the issue of looking like shit?
-
If you are referring to me, it gonna take a lot more than a few thousand denaro to fix the rest up. Old age is a bitch to fix.

You would look great Prime. I know you have seen pics and if they use a lighter shade it will grey out to light shadow. No worries about color matching if you shave.

I looked up that place in NYC you got it done and it does seem pretty legit.
But why do some people who get it done look so fake and it stands out.
Yours looks a lot more natural.

I did a lot of research before getting mine done. In the NYC or NJ area go with either Scalp Micro USA or Hairline Ink. They are both top notch. If you're looking for a softer hairline and more natural look they will do that.

tattoos blur and fade, how is this not going to look like shit in a few years ???
