Dude I'm the guy that originally posted this thread years ago. Jamie Fox has a shaved head, exposing a scar, but has a tattoo. You can google him and see it. I would get a Tatoo before any surgery. If you wanna shave your head bald, fue in a scar will help for a very short haircut, but the only way to do a number zero, or truly shaved head, IMO is a cool Tatoo.

Anyone out there get a tattoo on their donor scar or consider it ? Seems like a great solution to being able to shave your head to a number '0' Anybody have pics ?

Thanks for your thoughts but can you tell us how long is your scar? Many scars now are around 30 cm or 12 inches so doing what you said there would still be 4 inch long scars on either side plus the 4 inches covered at the back. Still it could be an idea worth pursuing for some guys, especially those with shorter scars. If it works for you great! ---- The length of the scar is 8 inches, and the width is 1 inch....I shave the tail off. So about 1 inch on each sade is shaved off totally, leaving about 6 inches covered with hair.

For 1 year now, I have shaved my head with a 'zero' clipper. My scalp isn't glossy like with a razor, but it's shaved and exposed. However, as per my recent post, I simply leave a #2 length of hair on just the donor scar area. Since the donor scar looks like a 'smile', a leave a rectnagle shape of hair there. (PROS) 1) You get to shave 98% of your head 2) From the front, and side, you look perfect 3) If you have hair on your head, people can tell, and you look like a guy with hair shaving his head..a turn on to many woman / men 4) You are free ! 5) Most people will compliment you. (CONS) 1) You have a small patch of hair the shape of a rectangle on the back of you head, about 1 inch in width. About 4 inches wide. HT Veterans, shave your head !!! But have a good game plan before for your donor scar. The shape you leave is key. Dont make it look like a smile, the same shape of the scar. And feel free to expose to the tails of the scar, this allows you to shave more of your head. And nobody will think you have an HT scar. This will just think you have 2 little dings on the back of your head, which most guys do... Good Luck !

Hello all, I am new to this forum. I have probably had at least 4 HT in the last 15 yrs. Many yrs ago, I shaved my head, exposing a huge strip donor scar. People on the street stared at me. My doctor demanded me to tell her when I had my cranial-otomy. Seriously. No joke. I decided to grow my hair out, and stick with the #2 I had enjoyed and gotten great compliments. I decided to go for the shaved head again, about 1 yr ago. But this time, I would figure out a way to shave my entire head, EXCEPT for the donor scar. I artistically figured out a way to simply leave about a #2 length around the donor scar. So now, 90% of my head is shaved with a '0'. Yes. I have a shaved head. Except, the back of my head has a rectangular shaped area slightly wider than the donor scar. My goal was to make it look like the many guys who are bald, who have a patch of hair above the nape of their neck. Well, it doesn't exactly look like that. It looks like a guy with a full head of hair who chooses to shave his head bald, but for some odd reason leaves a strip of hair on the back of his head, above his neck. The width of the patch is about 1 inch. I shaved off the tails of the donor scar on the left & right sides, so you can actually see 2 little scars at each end of the donor scar. But the meat of the scar is covered with a patch of hair with about a growth of a #2. People have accepted me. Nobody gives me a hard time. Comparing this look to the last time where I EXPOSED THE DONOR SCAR, no comparison. Before, I people thought I had brain surgery. Now, I just look like a guy who has hair growing on his donor scar to people who are in the 'know'...but to most folks, they figure I just choose to leave a tiny patch of hair on the back of my head. Wanted to know, if anyone else has tried this ? If so, what was the response ? And as a HT veteran, this gave me the most freedom and joy I have ever felt in years. Also, I work out, and am fairly muscular, which helps a lot. Some people have said the only reason it works for me, is because of that reason. Please, anybody out there, share your feedback with me, or your experiences if you are thinking about SHAVING YOUR HEAD or have SHAVED YOUR HEAD. It'll change your life, but I highly recommend having some hair over the donor scar (#2). If you do it artistically, nobody most of the time will notice, and in my opinion, if oyu have a strip scar (circa 1995), you wanna keep it covered.
