Dben..could you post a current picture?..I also have extensive scarring form old plug removal and had this procedure last year..the problem is that the ink looks different in a scar..it looks OK but not great..I only did it on the top because i wear a piece but would love to get rid of that thing! Still trying to decide if I want to do the back and sides..I do not want to say where I went but was realy curious of your outcome since our situations are very similar.

This picture was taken 10 days after procedure. But again it needed more time to lighten up. I will send a closeup picture when its finally done.

Anyone who reads this forum dont be fooled by Kraus, Just read his post history. He bashes HIS, NHI, and GLI. I only bash AC b/c they are a FRAUD and they really treated me poorly when I called and were even very unhelpful via email. Also I've heard countless other similar experiences people had with them. If you read my previous posts, you would see that I was on the fence between artistry concepts and another provider. I even said a negative thing about GLI at one point, and praised AC, before I had all the facts, so if this is a "Shill" tactic, it would have to be a new insane approach. Kraus is obviously one of the three "intelligent" people who work at AC in ENGLEWOOD FLA, and what is scary about this is that they have so much time to post on this forum. Business slow or what? I AM NOT PROMOTING GLI, NHI, or HIS- BUT DEFINITELY RAISING AWARNESS OF AC. Listen, $2600-4500 is alot of money, and this is a lifetime decision, so if anyone is considering AC I would encourage them to call Artistry Concepts on the phone and see for themselves how far they get. AGAIN, not promoting HIS, GLI, or NHI.

Hope it works out for you, which ever company you pick. I did this after wearing a hairpiece for years after that bad hair transplant from the 80's. Then i tried doing the FUE's last year from the back of my head and even some from my beard. Like i said only 20-30% of hair grew. I started getting very worried 2 years ago when my side hairs started thinning greatly, today its totally thinned out. No idea why the total loss of side hairs...after that it was stupid to wear a hairpiece when you had almost no side hairs.

Sometimes i think the criminials are these doctors doing these hair transplants. I had FUE done like 1 year ago and all it left me was with these little round scars in the back from where they took the hair from. I would say 20-30% of the transplant grew !

[Dben153662]

In his next post stylus187 said he had a conversation with the guy and he said that it was Artistry Concepts who had carried out the treatment.



Dben153662, we all look forward to seeing to seeing your pictures, don't forget to take one of the front, sides and back as well. As I'd like to see if there is any kind of horseshoe after the procedure.

Also in the meantime why don't you post some before pictures so we can all see the degree of hair loss you had prior to your procedure.

Don't worry about 'other' providers taking your pictures and trying to pass them off as their own work. I've never seen any other provider try to pass off any work of AC's as their work.

Ok attaching my before pic. Scars you see is from my removal of old plugs done in the late 80's this pic was taken like 12-14 months ago

You are one sick individual. never seen anyone so hateful about something. you are a shill for good look ink. I read your older posts. I also talked to Bad Look Ink on the phone (yes about an hour). they barely let me off the phone. then they kept emailing and calling me. So i know who you are shilling for, because i had the same hour phone call. Former Best Buy saleman Davin Gerr (the manager?) kept telling me "take the leap of faith" ?????? WTF???? are they giving you a free TV???

Im not shilling for them, but if I do, do you think I can really get a free tv?? Maybe a high def, bc that would be awesome bro!

Why does it have to be Artistry Concepts? There are several companies doing the same service in the US. Its just unfair for you guys to attack a company like that, without having done the procedure . How can you comment on something you havent had done? I can say something based on experience. Yes i had it done with Artistry Concepts on March and so far i am content. It still needs to lighten up a bit more but i have one more week to go for the 4 week they told me my final color will be.

Sir... I'm not at all trying to be rude with what I posted! I'm just being completely honest from the results that I saw in person. He had this procedure done at Artistry Concepts. I asked him about it. Yes, I had a conversation with this guy, and we were talking about FUE procedure. To be 100% honest, it looked so unnatural I thought I was looking at a donor area from FUE scars. He asked me if it looks natural. I said it looks amazing, I was just curious where you had it done. I had to lie in order to have him from not feel insecure. In he-insight, it was rude of me to even start a conversation with him in the first place.. Listen... If your results came out great, I'm supper happy for you. I'm just simply sharing an honest story of what I saw first hand! From 6 feet away it looked like a number 1 guard height. In person, it ... "for choice of better words", it looked unnatural! I'm very particular about my appearance! Its not for me. Best wishes to anyone who decides to get this done.

I suppose "Saved from Baldness" (AC) has taken his ball and gone home. Same exact sequence occured with Dben, one of their other profiles. AC creates a profile or uses one of their many existing ones, comes on this forum and claims how amazing AC is, throws a couple weak jabs, then disappears when they are discovered by more than one forum member. If anyone cares to see how they treat people read this... http://forum.*************.com/topic...erience-so-far
The biggest gripe I have with Artistry Concepts isn't that they do undercover posting, but that they are so focused and determined to bash their competitors. I believe they attempt to eliminate all of the potential client's options by slandering competitors, until AC is the only choice they have left. Instead of talking about how their supposively superior ACHM2 method works, and why it is so great, they focus so hard on trying to make their competition look bad. And when I say they talk bad about their competition, I mean they type bad about them, like in emails and on forums. They are too cowardly to talk to clients on the phone about anything, but give AC a keyboard and a mouse and it is on LOL. The first email I sent to Gale Harviston at AC, I told her that I was also looking into HIS hair clinic, New Hair Institute, and Good Look Ink. My very first response from her was filled with "beware of those other providers" and other scare tactics. Then she sent me A copy of a pending law suite AC has against Good Look Ink in Minnesota. I read it and it is only about a website NAME. What does that have to do with this procedure and a company's ability to perform it well. So petty. Even their video has a young African American man saying "well you know my head was so messed up from the other provider that I was so discouraged," or something like that, and then he goes on to say how amazing Mark and Gale are but my point is this- Not one element of their site is committed to glorifying their work, but every bit of it is dedicated to making other company's work sound horrible. When I asked Gale in an email if Artistry Concepts was a member of the Better Business Bureau, she said no and sent me a youtube link of a 60 minutes segment that covered a story on some businesses in the U.S. that are believed to pay the BBB for good ratings. Obviously, but indirectly, she was implying that Good Look Ink pays for their good rating. Pretty low Gale. Stick to riding horses sweetheart.

I saw a dude at the airport with micro tat hair style, while flying from Orlando, to Cali!!! It does not even look close to natural!!!! I felt really bad for the dude! At a distance, yes. it looked ok??? three feet away, it looked so unnatural..... No way in hell is this an option for me!!!! Artistry Concepts????????? The only way this could look normal is, if you have hair with average, to fair density, just to fill in some spots??? IDK???? not for me!!!

Delphi, apart from all your doom and gloom on this 'bullshit treatment' treatment as you call it and how if we get our heads tattooed then we will all end up regretting it in the end. I'd be interested to see what you have based that on? Or is just something that you 'think'? As there is a BIG difference between your opinion and actual fact.

Like I said, this is a procedure that I have been looking into and strongly considering, however if you have any real experience or personally know of anyone who has had a head tattoo gone wrong, then please share that with us.

Then again if this is all your 'opinion' or what you think 'may' happen then I don't see what relevance it is to this thread, as it's not helping anyone. Or is your motive that we should all forget about this 'bullshit treatment' and get a hair transplant or stick a wig to our heads instead?

[Delphi]

And I think this is the kind of thing that Stylus187 is referring to when he says we need to communicate respectfully

Just trying to help my man. My motives are pure. If you want to get your head tattooed then you have the right and my blessing. Best of luck to you.

I think you're a little paranoid my man. I was not referring to you as being a shill. Obviously there are some real people trying to get information about this bullshit treatment on these threads. My point was the they are guided by shills who pretend to be real posters.

I am not bitter and honestly have a very happy and fulfilling life. If you want to get your head tattooed, go right ahead, but in the end you will regret it and maybe you’ll think to your self, “is should have listened to that asshole Delphi when I had the chance”. Good luck with your head tattoo!

And I think this is the kind of thing that Stylus187 is referring to when he says we need to communicate respectfully

Stylus, you are correct. I appologize for speaking that way and I will refrain from the arguing and spiteful comments in the future. I do want to utilize this forum to its max, and I agree that this is not possible when we argue. Delphi, I appologize for being rude. I was just frustrated b/c since I started researching SMP a couple months ago and reading these forums and blogs concerning this topic, Ive had to sort through your negative comments about this procedure. You always say the exact same things as you express your disapproval, so I cannot see how this helps people. You have made it clear many times that you don't agree with SMP, but you need to respect other people's opinions, decisions, and interests. If you dont agree with this procedure, you need to refrain from commenting on it. You don't help anyone by constantly criticizing. If you are interested in a particular topic, I would suggest that you stick to those forums. Just as you have questioned the motives (hidden or not) of other forum members, I honestly have to question your's when you have no personal interest in smp but you constantly comment on it. I am simply expressing my opinion, and do not want to start anything. Good luck with whatever solution you choose. I have chosen mine, and as a man you need to respect that.
