I forked out £40 for a ‘hair tattoo’ – it turned out so bad the stylist said I ‘ruined his week’ but I lived with it

SOMETIMES it’s fun to do something a little bit different to your hair, like dyeing it a bright colours, or getting a fresh chop.

But one woman left people stunned after she revealed she decided to get a ‘ tattoo’ to spruce up her look.

Amanda Hughes took to the popular group That’s It, I’m Hair Shaming to show off her new look, but not everyone was convinced by the unique style, including Amanda herself.

In the viral post she explained she wanted a hair tattoo of the fictional character Hannibal Lecter, created by American novelist Thomas Harris, and later played by Anthony Hopkins.

But Amanda admitted she didn’t realise the style would be created using pens.

She wrote: “I went for a hair tattoo of Hannibal Lecter. Having no idea that he would be using pen for most and got charged a fortune for this.”;

According to Amanda, the funky style washed out “two days later”;, leaving her with an awkward and bumpy-looking style.

“The person who did this did not respond well to me messaging about it, but he really wanted to do the design and said I ruined his weekend to which I responded well you’ve ruined my hair.

“Anyway thought I’d give you all a laugh the after pic was a week later,”; she added.

In the post, Amanda also showed off a picture of the designed freshly etched into her hair, and one just two days later.

The first picture shows the cult character’s face on the back of her head, with a large white forehead, glaring eyes and the infamous mask.

But in the second snap, which Amanda claimed was taken 48 hours later, the image is not longer visible.

“What did you think would happen? You wouldn’t wash your hair or it wouldn’t grow?”; one person commented on the post.

And a second chimed in: “I mean... it turned out better than I imagined any Hannibal Lecter hair design to look... what exactly were you expecting here?”;

Meanwhile, someone else wrote: “It sounds like you went in with no idea of how these work.It looked awful anyway.”;

“They did some hair tattooing and used chalk? Did you not see the tools they used?

“Did you ask if a pencil would last more than a single hair wash? That second photo is NOT two days later,”; another commented.

And others though the design was worth every penny: “You said ‘a fortune’ and I was like oh no that’s so bad.... But £40?? You get what ya pay for Lol.”;

“The alternative was to have all the white shaved bald on your head and these designs stay drops for maybe a week,”; another pointed out.
