For those poor, unfortunate souls unable to grow a head of hair, or even those who shave theirs off by choice, there is another, more permanent option other than the toupee that was touted around the London Tattoo Convention 2009.

At the London Tattoo Convention 2009, several [tattoo artists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackdot-device), as well as their canvases, sported [tattooed heads and hairlines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mark-of-life).

One thing is for certain -- a tattooed head would definitely save a person time in the mornings.
