What Is a Hair Tattoo?
A hair tattoo, also known as scalp micropigmentation (SMP), uses micro-needles to implant pigment into the scalp. It creates the appearance of real, shaved hair or added density, helping conceal bald spots, receding hairlines, thinning crowns, and scars.
It’s a non-surgical, permanent hair loss solution for men and women that mimics hair follicles with incredible realism.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a hair tattoo permanent?
A hair tattoo (scalp micropigmentation) is considered semi-permanent, lasting between 3 to 5 years. It won’t wash off or disappear suddenly, but it will fade gradually over time. Factors like sun exposure, skin type, and aftercare can affect how long it lasts.
We recommend touch-up sessions every few years to keep your results looking sharp. Learn more about aftercare and maintenance here.
Does it hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as mild discomfort — similar to light scratching. Everyone’s pain threshold is different, but we use professional equipment and numbing agents to keep the process as comfortable as possible.
You can read more about the experience in our what to expect during SMP guide.
Will it fade?
Yes — SMP fades naturally and evenly over the years. This is part of how it’s designed. Unlike a traditional tattoo, scalp micropigmentation is placed shallower in the skin and uses different pigment that’s made to fade gradually.
That’s why top-up sessions are part of long-term care. Learn more about pricing for top-ups and maintenance.
Can I get it with long hair?
Absolutely! SMP isn’t just for shaved heads. We regularly treat clients with longer hair to help create the appearance of fuller, denser hair, especially around thinning areas or part lines.
