Have you ever seen "scalp micropigmentation" (fake hair tattoo) in real life?

As a bald cell, (Norwood 3-4 asymmetrical diffusion, it's over) I have been wondering for years if this could look good in real life but have never seen it

Looks great. I had it done years ago and wear it in a manbun.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

I have been going mentally back and forth on this for over 10 years. Really want it but so afraid I will regret it. I determined that I should probably get it done by a guy called Paul Clark in Nottingham UK as he is really pro by all accounts. I looked on the map it's like 12 hours driving. And then I wonder how to plan for it all since it's 3 sessions and what will I look like in between those sessions. So many doubts and questions.

Of course that's why I would drive 12 hours to get to a world class guy.


I just find myself not caring quite enough to go through with it all and then I forget about it again for a year or 2.

It's not a good thing because life is passing me by fast and I am not as happy as I could be .

Honestly dont see much "big regret" potential long term in terms of the procedure. Doubt much can go wrong.

It looks good in pictures but I dont think it's gonna fool anyone up close. People around you are gonna know youre a baldcel with drawn on hair dots. You have to be very confident that youre just gonna own it because you like the aesthetic better. People are gonna ask you about it so you have to have a DGAF attitude and just tell em you decided to go for it. You cant think youre gonn hide it.

If youll feel nervous about people noticing or you think youll fool people by tilting your head at weird angles when there close up behind you in the grocery aisle, dont do it. You have to be sure you dont care that anyone can see you did it, or else youll prob never be comfortable.

I never seen it in person either

Seems like it would work good for two scenarios

Either you're going to be a bic shaver and want it to looked filled in so you don't get that baldcell 5 o'clock Shadow effect when the sides start growing

Or youre good with your hairline but have diffuse thinning and want to make it look thicker


But if you are keeping your hair grown you absolutely cannot use it to shape your hairline it will look ridiculous I seen some pics of that and it's brutal

One photo is a bad photo and one photo is filtered and posed better. Not a great comparison but it looks good. The guy also happens to have model looks, I doubt you will have the same results OP, you will probably look more like this except Indian
