Covering Baldness with Tattoos

I always wonder what is going to be the next discovery for tattoo uses. And here it is. Guys that are losing their hair are getting a procedure called “scalp pigmentation”. Over 50 percent of men over 50 years of age are affected by male-pattern baldness. Going bald can be a traumatic transition for some men. They don’t like it at all but now there’s a new option in town.

A company called HIS have come up with the technique. It’s basically creating an optical allusion of a buzz cut for guys that have lost their hair. Different shades of pigment are tattooed in the scalp replicating the density and size of short hairs. HIS is now opening up clinics across Europe and the US and there is no shortage of interested male clients.

Guys like it because it’s more affordable, permanent, and it’s non-surgical. This gives men an alternative to transplants which cost much more.

Trophy Art

Strange Moon Art (love the name) is Stephanie Alice Rogers art work which compliments her writing and poetry. Many of her art dolls are based upon her own stories, characters from her favorite novels, omens, superstition or myths & legends. She displays her paintings but I think her dolls and these trophy pieces are where her strengths are – judge for yourself.

Who Needs a Toupee?

Here’s a way to make the most of losing your hair. Be creative. Instead doing the old comb over, recreate your look with a funky, funny tattoo. I guess I shouldn’t assume this guy is losing his hair, maybe he shaved the rest off just to have some fun. And if he gets tired of the look, grow it back.

M.C. Escher – I liked his art style even as a teenager. The black and white realism of the impossible. This tat is from one of his more recognizable pieces and the head is the perfect shape for it. Well done.
