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.

Hmmm. I think it looks pretty cool actually, not that I would have the patience for it myself.

It would suck if the person changed the part in their hair. X]

That is going to be SUCH a pain in the ass.
But at least you’d never lose your part.

Strangely enough, this squicks me out far more than most things I see on modblog. Go figure.

After reviewing the experience on this one, I wondered when I’d see a picture of it here 🙂 Ever since reading that experience, I’ve been dubbing on getting one myself or not, too. I think it’s a great piercing, n absolutely love the wtf-factor/uniqueness of it…nevermind the annoyance. Hope hers continues to heal well 🙂

Wow; don’t particularly care for the piercing, but that sleeve is pretty amazing.

It’s not fun when I flip my hair only to realize a knot is caught on one of my surface piercings. I can only imagine running your fingers through your hair and having it get caught on this! yeep!

I’d go insane with that piercing. Unfortunately I dont think it will heal and if its left in I think it will reject. Too much pressure on the scalp!

It would bug me to death. I’d be picking at it forever because it’s in my hair!

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..

That’s excellent the piercing is working out well for you 🙂
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.
