Oh dear, that picture of those 3 men... The one on the right looks okay, the other 2... not so much. Their hairlines have probably NEVER looked like that, not even when they were children with a full head of hair. All of them would've looked just fine with their heads completely shaved (the one on the left would've even looked extremely sexy, now he looks like a reject from The Jersey Shore).

The idea looks great at first, but what about fading and blotching? What happens when the skin starts sagging/wrinkling? It'll probably end up like having a hair transplant: it may look great at first, but in a couple of years it'll be the biggest mistake they made in their lives.

I'm of two minds about this. I've seen one man who had his "hair" tattooed in almost solid black, it not only looks awful, but awfully phony. However, this is a person who is show business and while that changes nothing about what he did, his visibility does make it somewhat more acceptable. Would I do it? No. However I do somewhat understand the panic that some men have regarding baldness and this must seem a viable alternative. Of course, they'll never be able to be truly SLY  As with many things, this is another fad that will pass and those who participated will be left to decide whether they regret their decision or not.

When I think of hair tatts / fake, I always think of American Actor Joey Lawrence.  Link attached.

Humm, ol' Joey has his own look for sure. I've seen stylish women in the Far East with none or very thin facial hair.  They have had tattooed eye brows and eye liner. Bet that felt good or not.

See what I did there?  ;D

I'm not into tattoos, and the last thing I would do is this stupidity, and it just looks bad

I admit I was thinking about going through with the procedure to disguise the gash on my cranium for 25 years plus and to cover up the black mark on the back of my head when I had the cyst removed. But I found a dermatologist who performed minor surgery on both spots and they are starting to slowly blend in with the rest of my scalp. The difference? My health insurance covered the surgeries, but $2,000 grand is a fortune to pay for something I may regret later...

Man, this should be in the jokes section... that is one expensive yet hilarious mistake that no one should be foolish enough to make. And also, the guys running it need to learn what real hairlines look like... oh dear. JUST BE SLY PEOPLE!

Makes me wonder what the younger guys will look like in 30 years when time has taken its toll on the ink.

I actually think Carlos Boozer from the Chicago Bulls got this done.
Pretty ridiculous. So you clean shave so there's no stubble but tattoo'd dots on your head? Just plain pointless.
Buuuuuuut so is a lot of things people do. To each their own I suppose

I noticed that when watching ESPN.....I thought he looked better with the shaved head, but at least it does blend in with his beard...must be nice to have two grand to just blow and not lose sleep....I must not have read the article all the way through but I assume this is not removable like a regular tattoo would be?

Perhaps like a wayward albatross had one helluva case of diarrhoea right on the old dome? But then with modern tattoo inks and skilled application very little fading or blurring occurs in normal tattoos so I dunno.... still think its laughable

I'd wonder how it would look when the stubble on the sides/back of your head go grey and you have jet black "stubble" up top?

Also completely agree with the hairline comment. I've never seen a natural hairline that looks like that on anyone in my life....

Are you kidding me?, it's a totally ridiculous idea. As foolish as wasting your money on drugs, plugs or HT, I'd say.   :/O

At least the other options can mostly be reversed. Bald all the way
