African American SMP Result

[hairthere]

This African American client desired an edge up hairline design. Ahead Ink normally uses a single point needle except for dark skin and thickening cases when we use a three-point needle. Thanks for looking!

I feel a little darker pigmentation would have provided the much needed contrast. I think it would have defined him well.

 

That brings me to this question. The severity of the shade is a choice given to the customer/suggested by you or is it a fixed template?

That's a fantastic SMP result. Very subtle, not overpowering, a near on perfect result.

 

Hats off to you!

Yeah, on second thoughts, it think it's near perfect like Shera says. Anything darker could make it look like the head is painted. I guess a better complexioned/clear skinned man would have given the contrast I was looking for.

Thank you Shera and Mayira!

 

Mayira,

These pictures were taken immediately after the procedure. I use Beauty Medical products/pigments exclusively and the base color is medium brown. I can lighten or darken this tone depending on the skin type. The pigment will actually develop and darken up a bit more over the next week or so. IMO this type of pigment and subtle delivery makes for the most realistic result.
