1. Expertise & Specialization
Is hair tattoo your main profession or do you do it "on the side" (in addition to tattoos or regular permanent makeup)?
Answer sought: Focusing on hair restoration is essential for a natural result.
How many full-head hair tattoo treatments have you personally performed?
Desired answer: Experience counts. Ask about hundreds of treatments, not dozens.
Could you please show me some photos of the final result of your hair tattoo treatments (from 1-2 years ago)?
Answer sought: Freshly inked tattoos always look good; the quality only becomes apparent after the healing process.
2. Hair tattoo: Materials and pigments
What type of pigment do you use? Is it a special hair tattoo pigment or regular tattoo ink?
The answer sought is: It must be a special hair tattoo pigment (carbon-based) that does not turn blue or green.
Do you use special microneedles for hair tattoo?
Answer sought: The needles used for hair pigmentation must be much finer than conventional tattoo needles in order to mimic real hair stubble.
3. The technology and the design
How do you determine the hairline? Do you use a template or draw it to scale?
The answer sought is: Individual adaptation to face shape and bone structure. Templates often create an unnatural "helmet look".
On average, how many sessions are required for optimal results?
Answer sought: Usually 3 sessions. A therapist who claims to do it "perfectly" the first time often takes too many risks with the frequency of sessions.
What will happen if I get gray hair in the future?
The answer sought: An expert explains how to adjust the color gradient so that the result remains beautiful even as the hair naturally ages.
4. Safety and aftercare
Does the clinic have the necessary permits from the health authorities?
Answer sought: Yes, hygiene certificates must be present and visible.
What do you do if the results decline too quickly after the first few sessions?
Answer sought: A good clinic offers a clear guarantee period or aftercare.

5. The “warning signs” (Caution, if...)
🚩 The price is suspiciously low compared to clinics like Prohairclinic.
🚩 The practitioner promises that the pigment will remain exactly the same forever.
🚩 There is no portfolio with current and/or long-term results.
