Ever want to do something completely daring and unique to your mane? Hair tattoos are the next best thing to having artwork printed on your head. Created with a hair trimmer, these tattoos are simply designs etched into your buzzed-down hair with a hair clipper. If you have longer hair, you can always get an undercut at the base of your head to draw the design into, so you can hide it during work hours.
Getting creative with your hair is becoming a lot more popular—and acceptable—these days. Undercuts (which were big in the ’90s) are now quite common, which leads to the next step—cutting a design into that short patch of hair—just like MC Hammer’s iconic hair tattoos.
it’s a very organic process that depends on the artist’s skills and vision. And can any hair type or hair texture get a hair tattoo? It doesn’t matter what your hair type or texture is, but it does affect the design you can create. As for taking care of your new ‘do? If you want to keep the design in great shape you’ll need to get it re-cut every two weeks… You can use a gel or pomade to give it extra shine, but other than that, no extra care is necessary! It’s certainly a trend that’s growing in popularity—especially on the streets and among sports stars—but, would you ever consider rocking a hair tattoo?
