A big question that’s commonly asked is “does SMP look genuine?” Really, the common moniker ‘scalp tattoo’ doesn’t do it much justice, as it doesn’t look like a tattoo at all, but rather an authentic buzzed scalp of hair.
However, SMP isn’t just for achieving a buzz-cut look. That’s one of its main applications, but there are many reasons why anyone can take advantage of SMP treatment as a solution to hair loss and thinning hair.
What Effects Can SMP Achieve?
Scalp micropigmentation is most often used for the following types of application in men and women:
- Shaven look. For anyone undergoing hair loss or thinning, SMP is a popular treatment solution that seeks to disguise the appearance of complete baldness by creating a buzz-cut appearance that replicates real hair. From both near and afar, the pigmentation looks very real. In fact, the only giveaway that it isn’t actual hair is from touching, so unless you want people to come over and touch your scalp, you won’t have to worry about how real it looks.
- Added density. For anyone with thinning hair or pattern baldness emerging in spots, the appearance can be a cause for panic in the bathroom mirror or when out amongst friends and colleagues. SMP can be ‘blended in’ with existing hair to add the appearance of density and a full scalp of hair. Pigmentation is applied to areas of the scalp that show thinning or baldness, and touch-up sessions can be scheduled to fill in any future thinning if it continues to occur.
- Scar camouflage. Scars and birthmarks on the scalp can sometimes be virtually invisible underneath the hair, but other times they aren’t. SMP treatment around scars and birthmarks can better camouflage them, so that clients can regain their confidence when out in public places.

Frequently asked questions
Does scalp micropigmentation look like a tattoo?
I explain that the common term “scalp tattoo” does not accurately describe the finished appearance. Scalp micropigmentation does not look like a tattoo. Instead, I intend it to look like an authentic buzzed scalp of hair, which is why viewing examples can help you understand the result.
Is scalp micropigmentation only for a buzz-cut look?
I explain that scalp micropigmentation is not only for achieving a buzz-cut look. Although that is one of its main applications, I also describe SMP as a solution for hair loss and thinning hair. You can therefore consider it for more than one application, whether you are a man or a woman.
Who can use scalp micropigmentation?
I can use scalp micropigmentation for men and women in different applications. I use it as a solution for hair loss and thinning hair, rather than limiting it to one particular type of client. We can discuss the appropriate application during a consultation.
Can I see examples of genuine scalp micropigmentation results?
I invite you to view our gallery because scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical procedure that needs to be seen.

How can I learn what scalp micropigmentation may look like for me?
