Head Tattoo by the New Hair Institute
Was just browsing baldingblog.com and found out that Dr. Rassman's clinic is offering their version of "head tattooing" or as they call it "scalp micro-pigmentation" LOL!
Anyway check out Dr. Rassman's response to some of the comments on the particular article, interesting.
And check out the price...six thousand to do a Norwood 7!
I'm not sure how that price compares to others shops out there but I think that's F'N ridiculous. $6,000 for some F'N dots tattoed on your head! C'MON!

I'm kinda shocked at the news because during my research for scalp pigmentation, I recall reading how much he was against the concept and very skeptical of its results
I'm not questioning the quality of the work or giving it a compliment,but I like to believe that HT doctors are honorary psychologist too because going bald/having a bad HT/bad HT scar is psychologically damaging. So I hope a level of honesty and understanding for your clients' plight is slightly more important than a check, yeah I know, wishful thinking
I'm not bashing anyone for having a change of heart, but after I read his article, I was under the impression that he was against it. And from reading the following comment, I was not the only one
"To be honest…upon close inspection, it looks really bad. It’s clearly fake. And I agree with how it’s odd that you went from being really against scalp tattooing to all the sudden offering it yourself.
Don’t worry, you were right to begin with. It doesn’t look good, as evidenced by the pic you shared with us. From a distance, yes, it looks okay. If I were standing within 5 feet of the guy, I would think he looked weird."

That's why I was a little pissed when I saw this.
I read a few negative responses form Dr. Rassman regarding follicle tattooing just recently (within the last 6 months)
Why the change of heart? I think we all know...$

6 months? damn....he lost alot of credibility, I would've appreciated had he simply stated that he did not fully research this technique, thus had no comment on it

This is just the icing on the cake. I guess hair transplantation is not paying his bills. This is shameful.
Well I respectfully disagree, I think any HT doctor that provides a combination of proven techniques that helps to restore a patient's confidence through improving his/her hair density is legit
Good scalp pigmentation could compliment a good HT procedure, and vice versa. Especially if the individual likes the buzz cut look
Until they have a cure for baldness, we can't just ignore the various legit alternatives to a complete cure for baldness. If that's the case, then HT procedure wouldn't have advanced as much through the years

It’s a head tattoo! This is not a proven technique. Like with any tattoo the color will fade and change color in time. This is a temporary fix at best and has until now been pushed on these forums by tattoo parlors not doctors. I think that it’s irresponsible for a person who claims to be a healer to offer this to uninformed people who are seeking legitimate treatments for hair loss. Just reading your defense of this shows how desperate people are and Rassman knows this and looks as this a a cash grab. Don’t be stupid people, this is a bad idea and you would have to be a fool to tattoo your head! I can’t even believe that Dr. Rassman has the audacity to promote this.

I don't know if anybody has addressed this issue, but if you have dark brown hair and get your scalp tattooed to match, what happens in 5 or 10 or 20 years when you go gray? You'll have lotsa dark brown dots on your scalp underneath your salt and pepper hair. I bet that will look just lovely....

Proven technique? for what, hair growth or self confidence...I was very specific
What's the difference between scalp pigmentation and wigs/hair systems, HT, FUE, Minoxidil, propecia, prp, acell etc?
All claim to restore self-confidence via hair growth
All demand a long term commitment for "results"
One important requirement that all HT doctors will demand from prospective HT patients is for them to have realistic goals.
I knew that I would never have shoulder length hair again. So my options were simple
1) invest in a wig/hair system that is expensive, maintenance overhead, and glue damage, and long term commitment
2) cosmetic products that cover up bald spots that has maintenance overhead and a long term commitment
3)use Minoxidil that has long term commitment and possible side effects
4) HT/FUE demands scaring of the scalp and it does not cure anything but move hair follicles around. A good HT doctor and a healthy donor area could do wonders, until your balding continues. Depending on your continual hair loss, will require more HT/FUE procedures
5)Use propecia, the possibilities of sexual side effects alone made this a non-option for me. It requires a long term commitment
6)PRP, it did not work on me, but there are claims that it worked on others by HT doctors. You're scaring the scalp in hopes of stimulating hair growth. You still need multi-sessions to get density, if it works on you, thus a long term commitment
7)Acell being simply pig blood was not an option I wanted to consider
8) laser comb treatment, not gonna waste my time or money
9)scalp pigmentation, imitating hair follicles by folks who are not regular tattooist. The fading argument and the long term effects arguments are based off of the knowledge folks have about tattoos, not of this procedure. If having to get yearly touch ups are my only long term commitments, then how does that differ from the other hair options?
Funny thing is that I'm sure each of these hair options were also deemed "stupid" at some point.
