Question 1

What's the difference between SMP and a regular scalp tattoo?

Accepted Answer

SMP uses specialized equipment, pigments, and needle depths designed specifically for the scalp. Traditional tattoo ink goes deeper, spreads over time, and can change color — SMP pigments are formulated to stay crisp.

Question 2

Can I shave my head after SMP?

Accepted Answer

Yes — in fact, a closely buzzed look (grade 0–1) is the most popular style with SMP. It creates a clean, natural look that requires minimal maintenance.

Question 3

How soon can I see results from SMP?

Accepted Answer

Results are visible immediately after your first session. However, the full effect develops after 2–3 sessions as density is layered in. Pigment also settles slightly lighter after healing.

Question 4

Is SMP detectable on camera or video calls?

Accepted Answer

Quality SMP is designed to be undetectable in everyday situations, including photos and video calls. The micro-dots replicate the size and spacing of real follicles.

Question 5

What happens if I don't like my SMP?

Accepted Answer

SMP is semi-permanent and will fade over time. If you want faster removal, laser treatments can break down the pigment. Discuss reversibility options with your artist before treatment.
