Hi, I was wondering if it would look natural if a person with a norwood 5, shaves their head and tattoos the balding portion of the head (in an attempt to regain a shaved norwood 2 look.) Also, when you tattoo the balding portion, would it promote hair loss in the non-balding parts?

Most people who have their scalp tattooed just can not replicate the appearance of a crew cut head of hair. I’ve seen this tried before, and to be honest, the majority I have seen look distinctly abnormal, with one exception: a patient that was able to artfully replicate a short hair cut with a temporary tattoo which he reapplies every few days. While tattoos could potentially cause hair loss (if there’s infection, for example), they more than likely won’t.
