I would think that the annoyance factor of this piercing would be very high — hair getting wrapped around it and oily buildup requiring more cleaning than most perhaps… But I always get a kick out of people who are driven for whatever reason to get a piercing in an oddball location. This “scalp piercing” was done by Damien Caskey at Monsterz Ink in Sylmar, California.

Getting her hair dyed is gonna SUCK.
I can imagine styling and hairspray or whatever being a bitch too.

This is my handy work. I did one about four years ago now and we had no problem with healing or migration. She finally took it out after a year and a half. The only downfall was where the jewelry sat the hair follicles died and there was a small bald spot. Thank you for the sleeve comments.

That seems to require a lot of patience…. Good luck for healing. but it is definitely an eye catcher!

I kinda like it. I’d never be able to handle having it, but it’s interesting. Maybe they don’t go to a hairdresser or dye their hair, use hairspray etc? I know I don’t, but since I have dreadlocks I’d imagine I’d lose it in the hair. More pics of this as it’s healing more would be awesome.

i do go to a hairdresser and use hairspray, etc etc. truthfully, it is much easier to manage than it looks. i’ve never gotten my hair tangled in it or hit it with a hair brush or anything even close to that. it sits in a very good spot. my hairdresser hates shampooing me, but after that its easy as pie. i haven’t dyed my hair since the piercing mostly because i haven’t needed to, but i also think i should give it more time.
it is healing marvelously. i haven’t had a single issue.

i can see this if the person was bald. but i feel that this is careless. not a ideal environment to heal a piercing. Im down for tryin new things but this is careless on the piercers part..

Some CZ bals might look pretty.

Zuni ~ I could see it being careless if I was attempting it on people that were regular customers. Truth be told both scalp piercings I’ve done have been on people I trust to give it the full care and patients that I believe it needs, and I see both people on a daily basis to moniter the healing process. So you are definitely entitled to your opinion, but I assure you it is under the strictest care and observation. Definitely not something I would send somebody who just walked in out the door with.

I LOVE the artist’s sleeve…

that really does just seem nasty. i agree with zuni that maybe if you were bald it would make sense… but with hair it just seems so dirty.

Owww… shampoo in a fresh piercing doesn’t sound like fun… not to mention getting your hair cut and combing it and stuff will be a bitch… it looks awesome but it’d be waaaay too annoying.
