Thank you for your question. You are certainly far enough out from your FUE procedure to move forward with a scalp micro-pigmentation procedure. This should give you the appearance of greater density in the crown and camouflage the scars from your FUE harvesting. It can take 2 to 4 SMP...

You can wash your hair with any shampoo normally after a few days.  Shampoos do not damage SMP or tattoo.  If you're worried, wait a few weeks.

Many patients have SMP to cover over harvested FUE scars.  It can be done and it has been done many times.
