The practitioner I talked to says it fades after 5-8 years and you need touch ups. Does it mean it fades to a point where it is almost all gone and it doesn't look bad and detectable? I am really worried about having a bad tattoo on my head 10-15 years down the road. I also inquired about Tricomicropigmentation and was told that although it fades completely it does discolor, bleed and turn blue. I want to take the plunge but I am worried about the permanent effects.

Answer: Scalp Pigmentation Life Span Scalp pigmentation or any other name it goes by is using inks or pigments applied to the skin. Unlike traditional art tattoos coloured pigments are not used but instead a black tone in varying degrees of deepness. The skin characteristics and sun will certainly have an affect on how long the pigment lasts and how it fades. Along with the skills of the practitioner and the quality of the pigment used. Over time they all fade. It´s difficult to predict the pattern or how long it will take before it properly goes.

Answer: SMP Scalpmicropigmentation comes in two varieties (1) the temporary type which lasts 1-2 years, possibly less. This requires a redo every time it fades and (2) the permanent type which we do as shown in the web reference below. I published often in medical journals about the value of the permanent type of SMP. In our thousands of patients, about 20% will return for a touch-up in 5 years or so. I like to think of it as permanent, but tattoos does always stick around and if you expose them to the sun, they fade more often.
