Losing your hair can feel like losing your crowning glory – but a selection of brave souls have chosen to embrace it rather than cover it up.
A collection of funny images from around the world, shared online, show men in different stages of hair loss who instead of hiding their baldness with hair implants or wigs, have used their head as a canvas for some very creative tattoos.
Their elaborate efforts include scary faces, animals and even zips while one chap decided to tattoo the Louis Vuitton brand logo all over his head.
Another gentleman seemed to show his affinity with famous bald men from history by having Russian communist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin’s face tattooed on the back of his head.

This man’s shiny red bald head makes his skull face tattoo even more scary – and the fangs just make it crazier
You can be forgiven for the confusion over this chap’s illusion tattoo, instead of the expected skull underneath the skin he opted for a brick wall
Warning! It seems this man has a temper that could blow at any minute according to the label he has permanently tattooed on to his bald head
Strike! This is certainly a shiny bowling ball and would certainly knock a few pins down with a weight of 16lbs but we’re not so sure the owner of this tattoo would agree
This clever chap had a face tattooed in his head, but not only that he even somehow manages to shave a second moustache using his leftover hair
Not only did this man choose to get a pair of evil-looking eyes tattooed into the back of his head, but the crease in his skin gives it even more of a grimace
Pensive: This chap tried to fool his friends by getting a tattoo of a pen that looks like it is resting behind his ear, only it must get tiring being asked if someone can borrow it
A scantily clad woman holding a pair of shears was the tattoo of choice on the head of this balding man
Two gentleman had the exact same idea when it came to their head tattoos – a younger version of themselves mowing the lawn, only it’s their hair
