I found something called SCALP MICRO PIGMENTATION (SMP). SMP is a method of depositing pigment into the dermal layer of the skin on the scalp, which replicates hair follicles. When viewed from a few inches away, the pigment dots appear as hair follicles.
Here are some facts provided by a number of SMP clinics I inquired with:
* SMP will have no effect on the ability for the skin to absorb water (i.e. for wudhu) or release water as sweat.
* The pigment consists of Iron Oxide, which according to the clinics is readily present in the body naturally
* The main difference between a tattoo and SMP is that SMP is semi-permanent and uses a completely natural pigment. It uses specialist pigments created for the scalp only, not tattoo ink.
Is this considered as correcting a default and is allowed in Islam?
