The Man with the Tattoed Head

What is it that causes a guy to tattoo almost his entire head, including his scalp? This man's face appeared grey as if he was imprisoned within his soul. Was his message that we should be judged not by our cover, but by our inner thoughts. Was it one man's way of saying to the world that he was done with the cover image? That if you wanted to accept him you had to look at him and see him as a human? As I looked at him I saw an image and then I wanted to get behind it. A novel might be written about a guy with a tattooed head. What had that head eyed in life that made him cover himself from head to foot (He had a full-body tattoe with the exception of the left upper side of his face. He was art moving through life. It begged a few questions. Where did he get his money. Were there people who wouldn't hire him? One could only imagine that if he walked down Hollywood Boulevard, he would be picked up immediately for a movie. I have never seen a guy with a tattooed head in a movie. For a million bucks would I tattoo my head and scalp? Yes, I certainly would. This after thinking that the fat kid in Charley's Chocolate factory had humiliated himself. But the tattooed head was different. It was an act of complete intention. The fat kid had somehow gotten fat, but he had not gone to a fat artist and asked for the body.
