Just to show that you have nothing to say into where exactly the hair will grow. Found a picture of my back as I just got a new tattoo in 2021, for convenience I took a picture of the other side of my back as since then the tattoo expanded a bit and it's hard to see the hair through the the ink :) Yes they shave for a tattoo, but only the area where they will place the tattoo and not around.

Relevant information from my reply on another post:tried the sublingual method from November 2021 to April 2022 and I had some gains, but not that much. All the extra dark hairs (wrist, hand,...) remained small and obviously not terminal. Then I read an article about taking the liquid as a shot (so not sublingual) as it needs to reach the liver to create "that enzym". Now I'm 2.5 months in on taking it as a shot instead and eyebrow filled in more then before, the hair at wrist is getting longer, more hair on hand then over then entire period at start,...-> it seems to be a lot more efficient then what I was doing first. Ofcourse I had some minor results sublingual as some of it has to reach the liver somehow. Will see how results are at 4-6 months shot method.

Small update 7/07/2023

1. started with loxidil tablets instead and now 6 months in
2. inside arms, legs and back are the places with new growth
3. other places visibly increased in density

Update 26/10/2022

an update on the situation:

1. tried topical minoxidil for over a year and did nothing for me -> a non responder
2. tried sublingual for 5 months with depressing results. Yes sublingual will probably have good results if you are a responder in the first place. Lesson learned.
3. tried taking it as a shot dosage split in 4 (morning -noon-evening-bedtime). Results were better but still a lot of room for improvement. Here I made my second mistake by splitting the dose in 4.
4. tried taking it as a shot dosage split in 2
5. as of september 13, I'm putting it in a gelatine capsulte split dosage in 2. -> still a lot of the minox gets lots before even reaching the liver if I'm taking it as a shot.
6. taking 1 capsule before bedtime. There is still a lot of debate over the effectivness of one larger dose or 2 smaller dosages due to the lower half life. For me personally one larger dose seems more effective.

Probably more of the liquid minox gets destroyed by the gastric acid compared to tablets due to incorrect carrier, but the results seems to be comming in nicely since swapping to gelatince capsule.
