been videochatting today with... makeup

[s.a.f]

And I would never have done it because I wanted to have actual hair on my head. He's still stuck with shaving it.

I understand, but are you waiting for hair multiplication? I believe we will see it, but in 50 years, not in 10. Right now there's nothing even close to a working product. I wait for it already for 7 years and nothing have changed.

I had a hair transplant, now I've got real hair on my head 2" long. I hated not just the bald look but the shaved look also.

You notice how he kept stroking his head as he was talking well what happens when someone else touches it expecting to feel bristly stubble but its smooth as an egg?

This is not true: I shave my head and you would not feel any difference between hair and skin.

Well I used to buzz my hair with no guard on and I could definatley feel the difference. And when I did buzz it people used to come up and touch my head all the time. Either way anyone who gets close up and touches it or has a good look will notice this. I can spot beard stubble on my or anyones face if it was tattoo'd on it would be obvious.

 

[s.a.f]

I dont need to see it! It was obvious to me even in the video. Spots drawn on your head are not the same as actual hair stubble. I'm 100% convinced that this (like most concealer videos) would only look even worse in the flesh.
Anyone who's ever seen someone (not bald) with a shaved head knows that the hairs even 1mm long stand out you cant draw this effect on.
Take a look at the stubble on your chin (when you have a 5 oclock shadow) you can see and feel the hairs coming through. Image it tattoo'd on it would'nt work. That guys scalp shadow looks like it should be super thick hair.
You could get away with it by keeping your distance but as soon as anyone gets close it wont be long before the secret is out and then you're stuck with it.

Why not see if you can get a small area done first? See how that works out for a few months before comitting to a larger procedure.

I will believe you when I see people on the net posting "I made it in HIS and it ruined my life". You say like you know what you're talking about and did it yourself.

its a relatively new procedure though...so not many people have already had it done and had years go by...

also, in the event that it doesn't look at all like you thought, you can't really undo it...its a tattoo that is on your scalp for life.

Is the minor aesthetic improvement that may or may not be achieved really worth the potential problems it could cause? thats what you need to ask yourself.

Agreed. I look at my scalp stubble, and the hairs point up and change angles as I turn my head. Tattoo would keep the same angle and be obvious as my head turns. The tattoo would only look real if the head was perfectly shaved and the tattoo was just a dot. Any length, and your secret would be out.

I also wonder just how well they match the color of your existing hair. Most hair piece places can't even match my color. Would the tattoo people match it?

I still am getting my eyebrows tattooed though.

Back to the scalp tattoo:
Even if people notice it, it will not be obvious all the time. They will know and forget, notice and forget. Overall, it will be an improvement. But any woman you date in the light will know soon enough. Whether she cares is another issue.

For my eyebrows, I'll say i used to pick them a lot, and that is why they thinned. Better than saying it is genetic. Fact is I did pick them some for a while.

It won't ruin his life. He will just be trading one cosmetic flaw for another, plus some $$$. Some story with my hair grafts.

this one is a better example imo because he gets a realistic looking hairline...

But the kicker is that IMO he still looks good before the procedure. Even he says that people he hasn't seen in a while don't say anything or appear to notice anything different between his new look and the old shaved horsehshoe look. (Hes had it shaved for a while it seems) It shows that we obsess about this stuff way more than anybody else. But hey...whatever floats your boat.

boring video. It looks like the camera lense is inside someone's * hole, which closes every so often. Why don't they let us look at his hair line?

Definitely let it buffer and then fast forward to the very end. The first 3 minutes are just a bad camera angle.

Why don't they ever rebuilt the temples? The reason many of these look so fake is they only bring the hairline back but don't restore the temples.

He looks worse after. It looks unnatural to me and he wasn't so bad looking bald. I'm sure he'd look better with hair but not with that fake *** Norwood 3 painted on.

I agree they all do look fake. Maybe it is the hair line shape, but I think it is the ink color not matching right. Might also be the spacing of the dots, and the patterns. Many get thicker right at the hair line, which is really bad. It needs to thin a bit towards the hairline. I think these tattoos have potential, but the artists don't know enough about hair to know what to draw.

Agree! It looks very unnatural and fake.

Awful video, and why did he tattoo a THICK NW3 lol. Not realistic at all... I think the HIS video's look real good and for some reason the videos/website etc are all way more professional. About the fading thing, they admit that some people have to get 2 or more procedurs for the pigment to permently settle in. Also I think you can meet with their manager, ian or something and he was the first to do it. Anyways I don't think that it is that much of a radical change it's just that dark hair on a white head = horseshoe.

 

[BrightonBaldy]

You say like you know what you're talking about and did it yourself.

As I've posted on this topic before- in my late teens I shaved my head right down as a Norwood-1 and it looked and felt amazing, it was a girl magnet. It was exactly the look that this tatoo recreates.

It does look impressive but you will regret it forever once you start getting the attention you want, when women are interested they dont just chat to you, theyll touch you and move around, with the shaved tight look theyll try rubbing your head.

You seem to have your heart set on this so do whatever it is you need but please dont question my credentials on this one, I had a very tight shaved head for years before I started going bald and can assure you people will know.

this look natural...

 

[Ori83]

lol i dont get it, why would you tatt hairs on your head without stubble ?! what do you thing will happen when someone tries to touch your head and finds out that your "hair" feels like a baby's ***?

 

[uncomfortable man]

GeminiX suggested getting it in combo with an fue so at least you have dispersed hair on top to meld with the dots.... the most extreme case would be to get a few strips to yield even more hair on top and then use the tattoo to cover the scars. But that is aloooot to go through just so you still have to shave your head everyday. Chances are you'd come out looking pretty butchered.

 

[hellouser]

Going bald is tough, theres no question, but women make up their mind instantly when they meet a guy if he's hot or not, the whole 'getting to know somebody' thing only comes after the initial contact is made and youve met their minimum level of acceptable appearance. If you can meet that level, then she'll let you flirt with her, if she likes you after shes had a laugh, she'll ****/date/marry you... if you cannot meet her expectations physically then you'll never get anywhere with her emotionally.

Headshot.

First impressions are ALWAYS based on looks. Balding is just another way of being rejected in advance.

1. why are you video chatting with girls?
2. don't get those hair tattos those are dumb. just shave your head and get ripped

the get ripped thing is soooooooooooo dumb
1) you cant be showing off your ripness all the time as society makes you wear .... clothes. And you cant run around with tight stuff on cause trust me girls think its kind of weird.
2) most girls dont want to go for a super ripped guy because THEY know they wont want to put the effort to look as good in. They think a guy who works out is going to spend 24/7 in the gym and watching his body. Trust me I know.

Has being in great shaped helped me.... yes but mostly when I HAD HAIR!

Remember you get ripped, great, I go to the gym and there are A LOT more ripped guys with hair than bald. Most balding guys pretty much give up on themselves and their looks and relegate to being out of shape. Youll still be that ripped bald guy.
