my opinions regarding head tattooing are mixed.
At first glance I instantly took to the idea. Not neccasarily that I was going to rush of and get one (I will cross that road when the time comes - when im at the point of nearing shaving me head
) but I felt a tinge of rare warmth in regards to hair loss treatments. I looked at some pics and they all looked pretty good. Compared to what I think of hair transplant's, hair pieces, and medication, this looks (or should I say looked) pretty simple, cheap and realistic.
However..Much of my concerns have already been voiced by others on this thread. How long will the ink stay for example ? Im not sure if I would want it to stay for ever. It wouldnt look right once you get to your 50-60's onwards.
Then how recognisable would it really be? I mean the pictures on the whole look decent. Not amazing but even when you know they are 'fake' you cant really tell. But perhaps actually being face to face it might look a little more obvoius.
Compared to an hair transplant it definitly sounds better; hair transplants dont last, are expensive, and generally seem like a hassle. Hair pieices, well I would consider wearing one now and again..But everyday? I dont think so. It just sounds so unpractical. You would have the constant worry of it coming of your head.
In conclusion, I guess this might be something to consider in due time. This is the only treatment I would really consider feasible so far. I am early 20's now, so I am not desperate yet when it comes to treatment. I could wait 20 more years for something like HM to come out. But if I was very bald in the not to distant future..I would definetly consider this. The difference between having that light stubble on your head and none, is stupidly, massive. It really makes the difference between framing your face and not. I guess there are numerous variables to consider, like if I looked alright bald anyway, then I wouldnt be too concerned about getting something like this. I think Uman made the point earlier, that there is a risk if it catches on and becomes more popular (which is highly likely) people will probably become a lot more adapt at spotting it.
Whether I could also risk being known as the bald man that tatooed his head is another question to contemplate as well. I guess you could probably let your friends in on it, Im sure they wouldnt care that much. It might really have a positive impact on things.
Excuse me for writing a lot, but if you look in those pictures, its the darker guys that come out better once again. First of they didnt look so bad in their original pictures, but in the after ones the tatooing looked really good. Probably harder to tell on them. Its the bulbous white bonce heads that looked nasty at first and moderate after.. From a hair loss perspective, I hate being white. Hell, Id even say the only race hair loss really affects is whites.. f*** this.
