#8 Tattoos



According to the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, "It is estimated that 35 million men in the United States are affected by male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia" What that means, is that something that lasts forever for most people (hair), does not last forever for baldys. So it makes sense, that tattoos, something that absolutely lasts forever, would be something that we bald men would covet. Tribal tattoos seem to be the tattoo of choice, as they also allow us to pretend that we are a part of something, instead of the outcasts that have been cast aside by all of those with flowing locks. They allow us to feel like we are all on the same team or tribe; the same weird, hairless tribe. And our tribe meetings occur at the beginning of parties, where we can congregate and wait for the rest of the guests who arrive 10 minutes later than us, because they had to fix their hair.
