Head Art

A couple of days ago I posted street art and then yesterday came face art and today is head art.

I saw this chap sitting by the breakwater and I had to ask if I could take a photo of his head. He was very pleased to let me take a couple of photos and told me that having his head tattooed hurt like hell.

He also told me that he has to shave his head every two weeks.

I suppose if he gets fed up of the tattoos he can always grow his hair and you would not even know that the spider and web were there.

[Judith Johnson]

Oh dear. I can't imagine having that done. Well spotted.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Ha ha --I hope he doesn't trap too many flies in the web !! As you say he can always grow his hair to hide the masterpiece !! Well spotted Babs and brave of you to ask ,but I suppose if you have something like this done , you are proud to show it off !!

[Yao RL]

I can sense the pain.

[sally agnew]

Can you imagine the real thing Babs, Sh****************t !!!!!!!

[maree_sanderson]

how brave are you!...great shots!

[Christine Webb]

OMG that must have been painful

[Valerie Chesney]

I'm with Christine, how painful...well spotted

[Peter]

Very brave of him to have it done and brave of you to ask to take the photos Babs, very interesting image, but begs the question why have your head tattooed and why have a big spider and web done, its not my cup of tea:)

[Wylie]

youre a brave lady asking all these strangers for photos:) wonderful shots. fav for bravery too!

[Debbie]

Hat's off to you Babs for asking permission to photograph these people. I'm way to conservative.

[ChristineL]

Very interesting choice of tattoo, I hope he doesn't get fed up with it when he loses his hair!

[Leana Niemand]

This is so cool. Great shot!

[Merrelyn]

Very brave Babs, I was thinking the same as Christine :)

[gloria jones]

Neat shots

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very interesting. I agree with Merrelyn. You are very brave to do this.

[Hazel]

Strange and interestiing for me: I did not mind the face tattoos but I find this rather creepy.

[carol white]

You're very brave to ask, well captured

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Incredible art and well capture. Obvious alright if you're bald.

[Masquerade]

I almost can't look at that :( but really well seen.

[Nova]

I think you are very brave to ask to take his shot. It's an interesting tattoo, but I wonder what his mom said when he got it. :D

[Sue Cooper]

What a weird thing to have done but brilliantly captured.

[phototart]

Why did he do it?Well done for capturing it. At least the spider kept still.

[KWind]

Wow... great of him to let you take the pics and brave of you to ask!

[Vera]

Wow...... how cool of you to approach him and ask for a photo!

[Loopy-Lou]

Great shots, well done for asking to take photos, although those tattoos give me the creeps!,

[Helen Jane]

Now why ....... Brave of you.

[Islandgirl]

Wow that would hurt! You are so brave!

[Babs]

@busylady Me neither Judith. I got a headache just looking at it.

[Babs]

@beryl Thanks Beryl, he was quite willing to pose for me.

[Babs]

@yaorenliu me too.

[Babs]

@hermann If it were real Sal it would have been either sprayed with Mortein or hit with a brick. :)

[Babs]

@365projectorgchristinewebb @happysnaps Thanks, he did say it was incredibly painful. Must have seemed like a good idea at the time. ha ha.

[Babs]

@inthecloud5 @merrelyn If he gets fed up of it when he goes bald at least he can wear a beanie.

[Babs]

@leananiemand @seattlite Thanks.

[Babs]

@quietpurplehaze At least he can cover it up with his hair at the moment and if he goes bald he can wear a beanie, but I think I would spray it with Mortein and kill it off all together, ha ha,

[Babs]

@ladymagpie @maskerade @susiemc @paulmann Thanks, he probably thought it was a good idea at the time. What will he look like when he is 60.

[Babs]

@maree_sanderson @pusspup @deborah63 @mittens @carolmw @novab @kwind @vera365 Thanks everyone. As I said yesterday about the face art photo I am probably the right age to be able to get away with walking up to strangers and asking for their photo. All you have to say for starters is "You look fantastic can I take your photo" and most people, with a line like that, aren't going to say "No" are they. ha ha. From there on I just chat to them and ask questions about them and they are willing to chat.
Having said that though I guess that if David walked up to a person and said the same thing he would probably get himself arrested. ha ha. I guess you just have to be the right sex and age to get away with it.

[Babs]

@pcoulson Thanks Peter I guess it hasn't inspired you enough to run off to the tattoo parlour to have your head shaved and tattooed then. ha ha.

[Lois]

Oh my!

[Taffy]

Oh my. That is certainly unusual.

[Kane Arlow]

Wow, I bet that would have hurt getting that too.

[Peter]

@onewing Not at all Babs not one for defacing my perfect body its had just one almost careful owner, lol:)

[Margo]

YuK!!

[Marnie]

Wow Babs, you're game. It's a good shot, even though I intensely dislike tattoos, unless they're the sort that can be washed off.

[Rachel]

I don't really understand the need for tattoos, but these are certainly eye catching.

[Pam]

Great art work on his head.

[Barb Newcomb]

Ouch! That sure would hurt.
