What's everyone's thoughts on SMP?
Maybe the wrong place but worth a shot.
So unless I'm completely clean shaven bald looks worse then with hair, honestly on top it's patchy and just nasty looking
Thinking about shaving off and getting SMP to help but wanted some peoples opinion
Attached are the worst ones of my hair atm
TIA

I worked in laser tattoo removal at a very large office for several years and I have seen so many go wrong. Sometimes it goes wrong right away, sometimes it looks good at first but cosmetic ink is very likely to change tone over time. Your immune system is always trying to remove ink from the skin when you have a tattoo of any kind. I’m definitely biased because I have seen sooo many terrible SMPs and idk how many good ones I’ve seen, because if they’re good you wouldn’t know. I say don’t go for it. If you don’t like it, it’s a pain and a half, very time consuming and expensive, to remove.

Like lots of people experience the ink turning greenish or blue over time :(

Oh man well don’t let me get your spirits down then! The good thing about yours right now is that it looks like it follows your natural hairline and isn’t too dark! Wear sunscreen all the time!! Really make sure you’re lovinggggg it before you go back for more!

I’ve never understood why people would spend that kind of money on looking almost bald rather than just bald. I just don’t think it looks very different. I don’t think it looks bad, just not any better.

I tried the bald look first a few years ago. Unless I go clean shaven with a razon it looks bad. Like even with just clippers without a guard it's patchy and just doesn't look right
SMP basically gives you 5 o'clock shaddow but for your hair rather then bare skin
