At SMP INK, we’re passionate about delivering life-changing results through scalp micropigmentation (SMP)—and co-founder Marvin Furrow is here to explain what sets it apart. Unlike traditional tattoos, which use chemical-heavy inks and larger needles, SMP is a medical-grade tattoo designed for precision and realism. “We use a plant-based, organic ink and nano-needles—tiny one- and three-point needles—to replicate hair follicles,” Marvin shares in our latest video. “You can’t tell the difference between your hair and our ink replications.”


What’s the SMP INK difference?

It’s non-invasive, leaves no scars, and offers instant gratification. “The second you walk out of the office, your head’s done—perfect,” Marvin says. With over a decade of experience, our team restores hairlines, boosts hair density, and camouflages scalp scars, all with undetectable, natural-looking results.

Check out Marvin’s full explanation in the video below and see why SMP INK is leading the way in scalp micropigmentation across our locations in Las Vegas, Arizona, Idaho, and Tennessee.
