In short yes, scalp micropigmentation is the same as a tattoo, however it has subtle differences. i.e the technique, needles that are used and the depth we implant the ink.
Does scalp micropigmentation hurt?
Minimal pain is felt during scalp micropigmentation. Most say 3/10 in comparison to a traditional tattoo. However, everybody’s pain threshold is different. We advise clients to have eaten and drunk well on the day of the treatment. Further information can be found on our pre-treatment forms.
Does scalp micropigmentation fade or discolour?
Over time (2-5 years) your scalp micropigmentation treatment will naturally fade down, at this point a touch up is recommended.
We only use carbon based black pigments so you can be sure the impressions will not turn blue in colour.

The touch up is a quicker procedure in comparison to your initial treatment. Please enquire regarding prices on touch ups.
