FAQ

No, there is zero risk of your SMP ink turning blue or green. We use all black, carbon based inks, which do not contain any blue or green undertones or additives.

Pricing is determined after a FREE Consultation is completed. However a general range is between $1,000 - $3,500+ CAD. Pricing is dependent on the amount of balding, thinning, or scarring, time spent tattooing, and damage to the skin from previous hair transplant treatments.

DO YOU USE NEEDLES?

HOW LONG DOES THE SMP TREATMENT LAST?

2- 6 years is when they start to fade (just like a normal tattoo). The general duration of SMP treatments are based on the pigment and equipment used, depth of needle, pressure applied and most importantly aftercare. Skin type, skin care regimen and after-care play a big part and really promote long-lasting results. 

IS IT LIKE GETTING A NORMAL TATTOO?

Generally speaking, kinda! Meaning we use a needle to deliver pigment into your skin. That's where the similarities end, SMP has a very delicate technique with delicate equipment and ink is applied to a different depth than a traditional tattoo.

Never! Everything we use in your procedure is sterilized, safe, one time use and disposable. We dispose of all needles in a safe and sanitary manner.

WHY DO YOU OPERATE OUT OF A TATTOO SHOP?
