HAIR THIS 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 'hair tattoo' to spruce up her look.

In just two days the design was gone, she claimed

Amanda Hughes took to the popular Facebook 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 horror 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.
I tried incredible new air styler - it gave perfect curls with no heat and its a fraction of the price of Dyson Air Wrap
"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.

TikTok star heartbroken as family tragedy struck before 'Nanny Norma' death
Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall leads tributes as Nanny Norma - star of the TikTok account Jess And Norma - dies suddenly at the age of 91 Everyone's favourite TikTok nana, Nanny Norma, has died at the age of 91, her devastated granddaughter has confirmed. Jess Asquith, who along with Norma Burton had built up a following of 2.7 million on their joint TikTok account JessAndNorma, shared the tragic news with fans after Norma died "peacefully" last Thursday. But, in a heartbreaking twist, Norma's death is the second devastating loss in just a number of weeks for the poor family. "05/06/2025 the day our family lost our rock, our everything, our beautiful, precious, perfect lady," she wrote on their social pages. "We are all truly devastated and our lives will never be the same. "We want you all to know that Nan fell to sleep peacefully, surrounded by all her family, she was full of love and had the most beautiful care. If anyone deserves a place in heaven, it's you Nanny Norma. "Social media and our community online made Nan's last years so incredibly special, her cup was full and in her own words she 'lived such a wonderful life'. "91 years was never going to be enough and she has left the biggest hole in all of our hearts. Reunited with her husband and family, until we meet again, our queen." Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall was among the first to pay tribute to Nanny Norma, writing to Jess: "Sending you and your family so much love. Norma brought so much joy to so many, she reminded me of my own Nanna (I would sometimes watch your videos with tears of joy) and helped me heal, as I'm sure is the case for so many people on here. What a special lady and family you are." And another follower wrote: "I've never cried for anyone on a social platform , I'm not ashamed to admit I'm sobbing my eyes out right now , norma you was so special, I hope you know how many peoples hearts you touched, rest in peace you abosutley beautiful soul of a lady... I know God has a special place in heaven for you." A third commented: "Rest in peace to our TikTok nan! Thank you for sharing this wonderful woman with the world, she always brought a smile to my face whenever I seen a video of her. thinking of all her family in this difficult time." Jess and Norma launched their channel during lockdown in 2020, and quickly amassed millions of followers thanks to their shared sense of humour and the pranks Jess would pull on her unsuspecting grandmother. The pair, who lived in Retford in Nottinghamshire, would film themselves giggling away, bickering and going out together on trips, especially as Norma's health declined and she needed a wheelchair to get around and her eyesight deteriorated. Fans loved their relationship, especially Norma's exasperation whenever Jess spent money on her, and many followers would tell the pair how much they reminded themselves of their own late grandparents. Norma's last photo shared on Facebook showed her in her wheelchair with Jess smiling down at her. Tragically, Norma's death comes just weeks after the loss of Jess's dad, who she paid tribute to on her Facebook page on May 19. "Some of you may have noticed things have been a little quieter over the past month. I'm heartbroken to tell you all that l lost my dad suddenly in April. It's been the most difficult thing I've ever had to navigate," she wrote. "My heart aches and the pain feels unbearable. I haven't really got the words. Jake has been my absolute rock and I've got amazing family and friends around me. Jake [Jess' partner] has been and will continue posting old footage and photos across our pages, whilst I take a little more time. Lots of love, Jess."
