Also it isn't really permanent. The ink goes halfway as deep as a traditional tattoo making laser removal relatively easy (as easy as having a laser shot at your head can be, of course . Also the sun will fade it over time, so either in about 5 years you get a touch-up, or you let it keep fading in which case it will appear you're losing your 'hair' all over again and you'll soon be back to square one (albeit minus $3k!).
I think a lot of you are too into your "sly" and wanting other to be only "sly"
but most of these dont even look bad at all. It's weird to me but ive seen people with it in real life and nobody noticed he was bald or thought he looked stupid.
you dont get it from a real tattoo artist you got to a type of doctor (at least in canada) you have to get it touched up once a year, first time is free, second time is about 200-300 and you need that at least every year . . . the thing is the price it probably cost about 5000
the tattoo mimics the appearance of a shaved head. They blend the 'dots' into your existing hair, so when you shave your head, it now looks like you have the 'shadow' on top and at the hairline, not just on the sides like bozo the clown. . . . Of course if you let your hair grow, everyone could see the difference and it would look ridiculous. . . . Also you have to know what you're looking for- and fter all, how many people have ever heard of such a things as tattooing your head? It sounds ridiculous. 99.999% of the world has never heard of this so would never think for a million years I have a tattoo on my head.
I think I would rather have flames or tiger stripes
If anyone wanted this done then perhaps they could get it done by a tattoo artist at a much smaller cost?I reckon that if you downloaded a bunch of the photos of the finished product and showed the artist some of these and maybe some videos that a good artist would be probably able to do it.
Baldhog, intriguing that you say that the tattoo lasts roughly five years? When you had the treatment done, was there any sort of guarantee on how long it would last? That time limit is good to know though, particularly in terms of as we age, because I think having a perfect hairline at 60 with a shaved head style would appear really unrealistic. I think if I had this treatment done, at that point I'd let it go, lol, because this is really more of a young man's game in terms of looking good.
Would you be game to show a photo?
