Adult film actor François Sagat at the Folsom Fair 2006. Sagat is well known for his scalp tattoo.

A hair tattoo, or scalp micropigmentation,[1] is a form of tattoo that gives the illusion of a close buzz cut hairstyle on a bald head.[2][3] The procedure can also be used to conceal the scars from hair transplantation or to make thinning hair seem thicker.[4] In contrast to other tattoos, the procedure does not penetrate as deeply, and the inks used are less prone to colour change over time.[4]

History

The scalp micropigmentation procedures were first developed by Ian Watson and Ranbir Rai-Watson in 2002, and later commercialized as a servce in 2006.[5] However, the practice of primative hair tattoos had been happening around the world for many years.[5]
