HAIR loss is a sensitive subject to many and can be very distressing, having a negative impact on your confidence.
While some learn to embrace their thinning mane and bald head, it seems that one man has taken a rather drastic approach – getting his ‘hair’ back in the form of ink.
One ink fan went viral after his brand new ‘hair’ reminded people of a ‘Lego businessman’[/caption]
The artist behind the masterpiece was tattoo whizz Chris Chow – but unfortunately, the man’s new ‘mane’ hasn’t become a major hit online.
Chuffed with his work, Chris, from Dover, Kent, posted the jaw-dropping results on TikTok – and it’s since gone viral for all the wrong reasons.
In the video, which has been viewed more than an astronomical 2.3million times in just one day, Chris showed off the freshly inked head from all angles.
The black ‘tresses’ were significantly darker and longer than the client’s real hair, some of which had a grey and white tint.
The rather bold tattoo also covered only the top of the man’s head – whilst the bottom section still had plenty of his real hair.
The brand new ‘hairdo’ also included a short fringe messily swept to the side and a slightly wavy effect.
Chris, who posts under the username @chrischow113, wrote in the caption: ”This is my work!”
‘That is BRUTAL’
But while the pair may have been delighted with the makeover, horrified social media users weren’t so convinced by the bold inking.
More than 123,000 people gave it a like, as a further 5,118 flooded to comments where many shared their thoughts and tagged their pals.
One TikToker was lost for words, writing: ”can’t believe what I’m seeing.”
Another chimed in: ”JESUS WEPT…That is BRUTAL.”
Meanwhile, someone else took a wild guess as to what the client had asked for to end up with the bizarre ‘hairdo’.
“Lego business man please,” they joked.
Tattoo Do’s and Don’ts
1. Think, think and think some more
Tattoos done on a whim are far more likely to lead to regret than a tattoo you thought long and hard about. Think about why you want what you’ve chosen. And if you still want it after a few months, then get it.
2. Age restrictions apply
You must be 18 years old to be tattooed in the UK.
3. Don’t haggle over the price
When you go to a tattoo shop the price is the price. You are paying for an artist’s time and skills, they charge what they believe those things are worth.
4. Don’t get tattooed while you’re hungry
Eat before you go for your tattoo session and make sure you’re hydrated. You’re about to be subjected to a period of sustained physical discomfort, if you’re feeling a little weak from hunger or you’re dehydrated things will not go as smoothly as they should.
5. Don’t drink alcohol before you get tattooed
If you are drunk or under the influence of drugs, don’t go for a tattoo. In fact, if your tattooist has anything at all about them they will turn you away if you are clearly under the influence of any intoxicating substances. I’d also avoid drinking the night before, even a few drinks will thin your blood and make your bleed more.
”I love the way you blended it with his real hair. He looks really happy,” a viewer chuckled.
”That should be an offence,” someone else thought.
The Sun previously wrote about a man whose tribute tattoo of his daughter turned out looking like something out of a horror movie.
Meanwhile, one woman was left mortified after she stepped into a store and realised her and her partner’s matching tattoo was a bad idea.
Or another beauty buff went viral after she showed off how she squeezed into a corset – but everyone noticed the rather unfortunate inking.
