Hair Tattoo

[tbtadmin]

Hi: I still can't seem to load the pics. I have a camera card that I am trying to load them from, and the photo upload keeps asking for a URL. I know the person who tattooed my hair just put them on their website. But I'm not sure if I can say who did it or their website. I would love to tell everyone because I am soooo pleased, but I think it's a no-no here. I thought the price was very reasonable. They charge $250 an hour and he moved pretty quickly.

Hi Thomas -

Right above the area where it says "Upload File Form a URL" there is a button that says "Choose File" that will allow you to select a file from your harddrive, then hit the upload button. If you still have problems, you can email me the pics at baldtruthradio@gmail.com and I can upload them for you.

Feel free to go ahead and let people know where you got the tattoo done and you can also provide a link if you like.

o.k., thanks. I was able to make an album in my profile and I posted some photos there. The place where I went also has me on their website.

The photos were right after I got done (like a minute or 2) and I still had to wash my head (lots of extra ink in the scalp). So now it's more mellow and the hairline is not so hard and perfect-looking. Love it!

Hey thomas,

Thanks so much for uploading your pics.
I saw your gallery on the artistryconcepts website a while ago and it's great to find you on here!
May I ask, how short do you keep your hair? What size attachment blade? Or do you use no clipper guard?
Thank you.

Thank you.

I use a clipper with no guard every other day. But it would depend how fast your hair grows, I guess. Need to keep the hair fairly short so you can't tell the tattoo from the real hair once it grows a little.

Hi Thomas,

It's good that this is working for you, and the pictures look alright too. I do think it is a drastic step and is not a permanent solution either as a tattoo will change over the years with skin aging etc. If the hair has to be kept that short, then why not shave the head anyway. No matter how good the tattoo is, it will be very difficult to recreate a complete natural look, the pictures on the website look good but not 100% natural.
I still think this can be a good method to disguise scars from hair transplant surgery maybe?

I agree it may not be for all, but I kept my hair very short anyway, so it's o.k. for me. I thought I was too young to have a receding hairline and it personally bothered me, so I did it. The front of my hair has lightened more now since after those oringal pics that were taken about 3 weeks ago. People now look at me and tell me I look different and great, but can't tell what is different. I would say that's natural....but again, not for everyone. Probably good to HT scars, too because those guys usually wear their hair longer for coverage, don't they?

Thomas,

Do you ever have people spotting the fact it's a tattoo?
Will you be uploading new pics of the softer tattoo hairline?

I had a similar procedure done, on a scar on the back of my head, a bald spot and on the receding temple area.
My hair is short at the back but I keep it longer at the front. So now the tattoo at the front is covered by my hair and masks any visible balding area.
I still have decent hair coverage apart from the temple area, and have to use cover up agents like couvre and toppik.
I want to get it short all over like yours, and will go get the tattoo touched up when I do. I did cut my hair short with clippers (no guard) years ago, and remember it looked okay apart from the receding 'v' shape high hairline.
Sure it's a radical step but it's worth a chance. If I'm not pleased with it I may grow my hair out and put up with masking the receding hairline or shave it bald. The tattoo itself will fade out completely if not touched up.

just did the hair replication (tattoo) procedure...

just got back from doing it it Florida. I got to say...it really looks fantastic! I' ll be posting pics soon...anyone have any questions I'll be happy to answer

[Mr. 4000]

damn that looks like a H&W megasesison right there.

Nice work, I like it!

what do you do just keep it like that???

How long before its starts looking crazy with the real hair growing around it.


I don't know if I would want to have to shave every 3 days, I hate shaving my face twice a week.........

What is your take on how you will maintain that solid dome cranium tight to the runway look?

Did you pick the hairline??

[liquidssh]

for me...with the amount of hair i actually have and how fast it grows - i like to shave it every 2 or 3 days. but i dont mind that. i dont bic it or anything . just use the head clippers with no gaurd. dont know what you mean by tight to the runway look. and yeah i picked the hairline with the artist's help.

He was really fantastic.

that is cool, so did they draw the hairline on your head first so you could see it and then make changes?

Apparently you are going to have to keep it pretty tight all the time, but I guess its less work than guys who go clean 100%.

I think it turned out great and the hairline looks good, it doesn't look hard in contrast with the forehead.

[liquidssh]

yeah man..thanks! So far so good. I think the first 2 weeks are crucial taking care of it like any real tattoo. but i'm really thrilled. i'll be posting more pics
