Melbourne's Best SMP Artists
Uber Hair2025-09-21 After doing loads of research on SMP training providers, I was truly happy that I invested in the Inkd SMP course provided by Ana James. I completed the online course components before then making the trip from Central Queensland to Melbourne for the hands-on education. The online modules gave me a thorough understanding of equipments, supplies, techniques & results. Then the 4 days hands-on in the Melbourne studio cemented everything to have me feeling confident & ready to start offering this fantastic treatment to clients in our region. Special mention also to Corey & Orliath for making us (students) feel welcome in your space & freely sharing so many of your skills + tried-and-tested tips. Hayley Pinel Über Hair Gladstone Q David McIntyre2025-08-23 I recently had my SMP treatment done at Inkd SMP and couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. From the moment I walked in, the space felt incredibly welcoming and relaxed, more like stepping into a calming studio than a clinic. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into creating an environment where clients feel at ease. The entire team was exceptional. Friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. Every step of the process was explained clearly, and I felt completely taken care of throughout. Special shoutout to Orlaith, who was absolutely brilliant. Her attention to detail, skill, and professionalism were top-tier, and she genuinely made the experience feel personal. I had full confidence in her hands, and the results speak for themselves. If you’re considering SMP, I can't recommend Inkd SMP highly enough. Edie2025-08-22 Wow! If you’re experiencing hair loss or thinning, this is the answer. I had never heard of this before but it has been life changing! It makes a huge difference in how your hair looks. Kenny was fantastic - she is so talented and such a beautiful, genuine person. Great experience and great results. Joe K2025-08-22 I highly recommend the Inkd SMP online training. It’s very thorough and well written. The assignments you have to email in are amazing and really give you some good hands on practice with fake skin and melons. Looking forward to doing my in person training with the team next month! Well done AJ and crew! 🫰🏼 Jamie Nardone2025-08-21 I had a great experience with AJ from start to finish. She was professional, welcoming, and made the whole process comfortable.

Clancy Standfield2025-07-28 I had my SMP done by AJ in 2023 Just had my first follow up refresh session to blend in some additional hair loss. My hair before SMP was patchy and I wasn’t happy with how it looked. This was the BEST decision !!!! Balding bros - just do it. AJ’s a magician I’ve also sent a friend to see her Aleks Stan2025-07-26 Orla is so incredibly gifted as an SMP Artist, she’s the best going around. Period. Jesse Meyer2025-07-18 Orlaith completed my SMP, she was very thorough, and her attention to detail is unmatched! Would definitely recommend her for your treatment, really happy with my results 🤗
What is a shaved hair tattoo?
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a hair restoration procedure that can be used to recreate a natural-looking hairline or create the appearance of a closely shaved head, also known as the “SMP shaved look”, “shaved hair tattoo” or “tattoo hairline”.
SMP involves using micro-needles to apply pigment to the scalp, creating the appearance of hair follicles. The pigment is carefully applied to create a natural-looking hairline or to fill in areas of thinning hair.
SMP is a safe and non-invasive procedure that provides long-lasting results with minimal maintenance. SMP can be customised to match your natural hair colour and can be used to restore a receding hairline, add definition to a thinning hairline, or create the appearance of a closely shaved head.
If you’re looking to improve the appearance of your hairline or create a low-maintenance shaved head look, SMP may be the right solution for you. Read more in our in depth guide on what is SMP?

How does the men's Scalp Micropigmentation process work?
01. Book Consultation
The first step is to schedule a consultation with an SMP specialist. During this appointment, the specialist will assess your hair loss and discuss your goals and expectations for the treatment.
02. Personalised Treatment
Once you decide to proceed with SMP, the specialist will create a custom design that takes into account the shape of your head and hairline, as well as your desired hair density and colour. The SMP treatment typically involves 3-4 sessions over the course of 6-8 weeks. During each session, the specialist will use micro-needles to apply pigment to the scalp, gradually building up the appearance of hair follicles. The treatment is typically painless and requires no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately after each session.
03. Aftercare
After each session, you'll need to follow specific aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and optimal results. For the first 3 days, this includes avoiding water on the scalp and excessive sweating, sun exposure, and hair products. For more in-depth information on SMP aftercare follow the link.
04. Maintenance
SMP is a long-lasting solution to hair loss, but it may require occasional touch-up sessions to maintain its appearance over time. The frequency of touch-up sessions will vary depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and desired hair density.
