Update: I did it

[u/gatorgage11]

Had to do one ridiculous pose (people who take themselves too seriously are no fun) but I think it's an improvement! Thank you all for the help today!

P.S. To the three people who recommended head tats don't worry I'm way ahead of you .... Updates coming at some point.

Before photos at the end.

Hell yeah brother, this is an insane glow up!!

I know you were worried about your abusive father, but you don’t share his heart nor the way he treats people, I assume. You’re your own person with a complete separate soul.

[u/gatorgage11 → u/Schmooto]

Tbh I look less like him than I expected to anyway so it all worked out!

[u/Schmooto → u/gatorgage11]

Victory all around! 🤘

[u/The_DurtReynolds]

Welcome to the club friend. Nice looking dome!

[u/zozuto]

It really fits with your style perfectly! I know better because I saw the first post, but if I saw you irl I would assume you've looked like this a long time.

[u/GoodShufu → u/zozuto]

I thought the same!! 

[u/Duke-of-Hellington]

Look how beautiful you are! Holy cow, your eyes hold the answer to the mysteries of the ages. You are truly ethereal

[u/gatorgage11 → u/Duke-of-Hellington]

That may be the single nicest thing anyone has ever said to me, thank you! In the photos my eyes look relatively gray but in person they're like ocean blue or gray depending on the lighting

[u/AaawRon]

Solid aesthetic! Symmetrical piercings, black fit and clean top. Welcome to the club!

[u/gatorgage11 → u/AaawRon]

I plan to make the eyebrow symmetrical too, just wanted to get one first in case it rejects

[u/AaawRon → u/gatorgage11]

Had both of mine done twice. Not everyone has the correct anatomy for eyebrows. On most folks they're more so temporary surface piercings. Keep an eye on the distance between the two beads, if it starts becoming less then pull it out to avoid vanilla ice scarring.

[u/gatorgage11 → u/AaawRon]

Tbh if it does reject I may just get little black dots tattooed on lmao, do a double on each side

[u/SovietBlyatman]

Bro you look like you're about to start the next big metal band. Absolute fire 🔥🔥

[u/h8tetris]

Doing a triple take!

I gotta know how your bird handled the change (I see that cage in the background). It's a big difference, and a good one, but birds go insane over silly things like that.

[u/gatorgage11 → u/Kytalie]

It's funny when I got her I had a pony tail, then my hair was short, and now it's gone. She doesn't seem to mind

Big upgrade!

You look miserable with just a little hair, and much freer and comfortable with it shaved.

[u/unfathomable_giraffe]

You should go for a head tattoo...

[u/gatorgage11 → u/unfathomable_giraffe]

Everyone is telling me that and Ive always wanted to get one once the hair was completely gone so I'm doing it

[u/Butterfly_and_Bee]

Very smooth. Have you considered getting a tattoo?
