What is the Hair-tattoo service and who is it for?

Hair-tattoo is a styling technique where the barber shaves patterns and lines into the haircut with clippers and a razor, creating a “tattoo on hair” effect. It's for those who want to stand out, add character to their haircut and highlight their style – from minimal lines to more complex geometric or abstract designs.

How does the Hair-tattoo procedure work step by step?

First, the barber discusses the idea, style and how visible you want the design to be, and can look at references on your phone. Then, on a fresh haircut, the barber sketches the lines and carefully shaves the pattern with clippers and a razor, refining edges and blends. Finally, they style the hair so the Hair-tattoo reads clearly from the right angles.

Is Hair-tattoo painful and is there a risk of damaging the skin?

Hair-tattoo is not painful: the barber works on the hair, not into the skin, using a tuned clipper and precise, controlled razor movements. If your scalp is free from irritation and cuts, it feels like a regular haircut with a sharp outline. The key is trusting a barber who handles the tools confidently and maintains proper hygiene.

How long does a Hair-tattoo last and how quickly does the design fade?

On average, a Hair-tattoo stays sharp for 1–2 weeks, after which the hair grows and the lines become softer. On very short cuts the design fades faster because the overall hair length evens out more quickly. To keep the pattern crisp, it's best to refresh the haircut and Hair-tattoo every 1–2 weeks.

Are there any limitations by hair type or head shape for Hair-tattoo?

Hair-tattoo shows best on short haircuts with more or less even density. If you have strong receding areas, scars or very patchy growth, the barber will honestly explain which elements will work and which should be adapted or skipped so the design doesn't look broken or random.

Can I bring my own Hair-tattoo sketch or logo?

Yes, you can bring a sketch, logo or photo from the internet – it helps show your style. The barber will assess how realistic it is to reproduce the details on a specific area of your head and at that hair length, and will simplify or adapt the design if needed so it looks clean and readable, not like blurred lines.

Are there any contraindications for Hair-tattoo and when should I postpone it?

It's better to postpone Hair-tattoo if you have fresh scratches, irritation, breakouts or a strong sunburn on the scalp. Clippers and a razor could make the skin condition worse. If you're unsure, just tell the barber before the cut – they'll check the area and give you an honest recommendation.

How should I care for a haircut with Hair-tattoo at home to keep the pattern sharp?

To keep a Hair-tattoo looking sharp, you need to maintain a short cut: wash your hair regularly, avoid overloading it with heavy products and use a bit of styling if needed so the pattern doesn't hide under volume. If you want the design to look “fresh” all the time, plan a barbershop visit every 1–2 weeks to refresh the shape.

Hair Tattoo (every 15 min) from Lumberjack

Hair tattoo is when your haircut becomes a canvas: crisp lines, patterns, and symbols that instantly show character — not just a new hairstyle.

At Lumberjack Barberhouse, we do hair tattoo so your head looks like an expensive logo: crisp lines, bold patterns, and a focus on character — not “they kinda cut it and it’ll do”.

At Lumberjack Barberhouse, we do hair tattoo for men who want their haircut to become a signature mark — crisp lines, patterns, and accents you can spot from a distance and never confuse with anyone else.

The barber works with clippers and trimmers with jewel-like precision, shaping the design to your style, hairline, and haircut type so the pattern looks appropriate and highlights your features the right way.

Hair tattoo perfectly complements a fade, crop, or any modern men’s cut: the look becomes brighter, more recognizable, and bolder — and you get that “wow effect” people remember.

If you haven’t tried hair tattoo yet, at Lumberjack Barberhouse your barber will first show options, explain how the design will sit on your haircut, and help you pick a sketch that won’t annoy you a week later.

Regular hair tattoo refreshes become your signature mark: you simply come to the barbershop, sit down, and we keep the lines crisp and fresh so your style always looks sharp and intentional.

If you’re only considering hair tattoo, at Lumberjack Barberhouse we’ll calmly show examples, explain how the design behaves as hair grows out, and suggest a pattern that highlights your character — not something done “just because”.

When you do hair tattoo regularly, it becomes part of your image: you simply walk into the barbershop, and we refresh the lines, add accents, and keep your haircut in that “fresh off the cover” state — with zero extra hassle on your side.
