Rodger Ponce
Master Paramedical Practitioner || Educator
I am an accomplished Master Paramedical Practitioner and Educator, specializing in Scalp Micropigmentation Artistry. As a certified SMP-Ink artist based in Danville, CA, I have had the privilege of serving clients across New York, Los Angeles, Berkeley, Houston, Oakland, and San Francisco.
With a deep sense of patriotism and gratitude, I am also a proud combat veteran of the United States Army. My personal journey with SMP began when a close friend and fellow veteran introduced me to this transformative procedure. I was struck by the remarkable difference it made in his appearance and confidence, and decided to try it myself to camouflage my own scar and strengthen my hairline.
Inspired by my passion for art, tattoos, and empowering others, I joined the SMP Ink mission to help people regain their self-assurance and feel their best. I take great pride in my work and find deep fulfillment in giving my clients something back that they thought was lost forever. With SMP, I can help you achieve a strong, youthful, and natural-looking hairline that frames your face and boosts your confidence.
