Over the last few months I had pigmentation carried out on the two small areas just above / at the top of my sideburns to help ``join`` them up with the hair coming down from the temple-points .... there were two small areas of bare/ bald skin there ......
I had a substantial area ``treated`` at the back /nape area .... this looks far more natural than tattooing , in my opinion, because it makes short ` lines` on the skin rather than ` dots`..these look like short hairs and blend-in with [thin] growing hair ....you must have hair on that area in order to look more ` real` ..... I`ll attach photos of the [mentioned] sideburn
``join-up`` and some of the back / nape area .....these were taken a few months ago when my hair was only beginning to grow down ....hope these are of interest....

That looks great Paul. Do you think it would be usable to replace or eke out receding temple points?

Hi Baldrich...... it works fine if there`s some [even very thin] hair there...it ` sells` the illusion of thicker hair.....I got it done at the nape area before my own hair grew down /integrated with it ..... I posted these pics. so people can ``see`` what I got done ...... I`ll attach photos of the effect this process has when used on eyebrows ...I copied /pasted them from the website of the salon I used .... she`s very good / skilled ..apparently this is used commonly in China ..... the fact that it`s not tattooing is great as tattooing is more like ` dots` and is ` heavier` and permanent.... she uses a little blade with a hooked tip on it ..she dips it into the jar of pigment and then ` scratches` the skin with it .... the little lines appear / give the impression that they are hairs, when in fact it`s a line of pigment..... I found it great on the sideburn areas ... I have hair at my temple -points but it`s a shade of white /grey ...she said rather than pigment the skin in that area, I`d be just as well to add a little color to the hair itself .....but certainly there`s no reason why pigmentation could not ` strengthen ` the appearance of ` weak` temple points ......

I didn't know that you could lose hair at the nape.
