A hair tattoo, scalp micro pigmentation (or SMP for short),[1][2] is a medical, non-surgical, cosmetic tattoo that gives the illusion of a close buzz cut hairstyle on a bald head or adds density to a thinning hair line[3] The procedure can also be used to conceal scars from hair transplantation, hide the visual impact of burns or to treat hair loss through skin conditions such as Alopecia. Scalp micro pigmentation can be performed on all skin types and colours.[4] This procedure involves local anesthesia to avoid any pain during procedure. In contrast to other tattoos, the procedure does not penetrate the epidermal level of the skin as deeply, and the inks (or pigments) used are less prone to color change over time.[4] The advantages of this procedure is that the hairline can be adjusted and freshened up with relative ease.
