Features of haircuts
Hair tattoo is a haircut-art with a short base and interesting patterns, with which you can cover the surface of the entire head or apply to a certain area of the skin. As practice shows, such hairstyles decorate the strong male nape or temples, but recently women are also trying to emphasize individuality with their own hair.
It is best to apply a hairdo tattoo on the hair of 6 millimeters in length. The hairstyle will last a couple of weeks at most (it depends on the individual speed of hair growth). It is better to update the pattern every 10 days. Remember that men on short hair "reanimate" the old tattoo is not necessary if it is "blurred" or overgrown. You need to wait another 10 days and create a new print on a "clean" canvas.
Disadvantages of tattoos on the head
- The main disadvantage is considered pain, which is felt by every fan of tattooing on the head, because of the huge number of nerve endings.
- In order for your tattoo to be as visible as possible, you need to shave your head almost every day, and this will take a long time.
- Before you do decide to do such a thing, be sure to consult with doctors such as a therapist and dermatologist.
- Remember, it is not recommended to be in the sun for much time after such an operation. It is also recommended to wear light-colored hats that reflect the sun's rays.
- If you do get fed up with the tattoo and want to hide the image, but you don't have growing hair, you will have to have the tattoo removed. The tattoo removal procedure on your head is very painful and will take more than one session.
Important: Those who are still thinking about a tattoo on the head, but can not decide, can use henna. The application procedure is absolutely painless, and most importantly, this tattoo will wash out after a week or two.
How will the hair tattoo affect your image?
For the image of such a hairstyle is undoubtedly a big plus, but there are also enough disadvantages.
- In combination with a bright coloring, the effect will be more powerful, but before you go on such experiments, it is worth considering the relevance of the created image. If you are an employee of a large firm or office, then the patterns on the head will look garish and can harm your career. In these cases, choose a place on your head to create that can be easily concealed.
- Be ready to attract public attention to your person, to receive compliments and, more often, condemnation from conservative people.
- Patterns must be periodically updated, otherwise the ornament will lose its clarity and "float".
- With a shapely haircut you can easily hide the small imperfections of the skull: scars, baldness, irregularities, bulges.
- Hairstyle, only if before it was not dyed, does not require special care. You can just buy a shampoo and balm to care for your hair.
General technique of performance
Models with patterns require more time to perform, in the chair of the master will have to spend 1-2 hours. It is also important to determine on the basis of which haircut the ornament will be performed. Modern haircuts do not limit taste preferences. You can choose standard ultra-short or elegant, stylish hairstyles that include shaved elements, lengthened strands.

Hair tattoo for men is created according to the following scheme:

- The next step requires a machine. With its help, the hair on this area is shortened. A maximum of 1 cm remains.
- Contrasting with the hair color pencil to apply the desired pattern on the skin. Even a lip or eye pencil will do, but not with a very soft lead.
- The skin is stretched with the fingers, and the tips of the scissors carefully trim the hairs along all the previously drawn lines of the drawing. This is done clearly, without taking your hand off, and the scissors for the procedure should be chosen with sharp tips.
- After the pattern is completely cut, the head is washed with shampoo to wash away the pencil blank. It is necessary to refine the pattern if there were initially gaps.
- Using a fine comb and scissors, absolutely all areas inside and outside of the pattern are trimmed, after which the pattern seems to be voluminous and convex, and its lines are slightly darkened.
- To highlight the contrast between the lines and the remaining hair even brighter, you can go over them with the tip of a razor. To do this, wrap the blade with tracing paper from wrapping paper so that only 5-7 mm of the cutting blade remains.
Some master barbers do not use scissors for this, but only the edge of the machine. In this way are created as a chair tattoo for boys of young age, as well as for solid men.

Features of female hair tattoos

In this case, only the area of the drawing is cut, and the rest of the hair remains untouched. The lady at any time will be able to dissolve her hair and hide the pattern if the situation or the dress code requires it. With a slight movement of the hand curls are gathered and lifted into a knot, and the tattoo is presented to the public.
