It can be hard to accept when your hairline starts to recede, but for many it's just part of life. That being said, there are things you can do to help, from wearing a wig to getting a hair transplant.
One man was so saddened by his thinned-out hairline he decided the perfect solution would be to get a fringe tattoed on – and the result has had people in hysterics.
Gianluca, 26, from Italy, visited his local parlour and made the unusual request, to the amusement of tattoo artist Maria Gina Altobelli.
The 30-year-old, from Italy, owns and works at Gipsy.g Tattoo & Piercing in Fondi, and she recorded the process of tattooing Gianluca's head with the fringe design.
In the video, the tattoo artist can be seen using a stencil to add the black fringe onto Gianluca's forehead.
After inking the design, he then looks himself in the mirror, and cries – it's not clear whether it's from happiness or not.
Maria was shocked at Gianluca's unusual request – but ended up being impressed by her own work, which took an hour to complete.
Maria said: "Obviously, I was sceptical when he asked me for that tattoo, but in the end, I'm very happy with the work.
"It took us an hour to do it because I've been tattooing for six years now, so I'm very fast."
The video has since gone viral on TikTok, with many social media viewers left in hysterics by the unusual solution to the problem.
One person commented: "I hope this is a joke!"
"I didn't trust the process and I was right," added another.
A third joked: "He's crying because he knew he had made a horrible mistake."
"The instant regret when he looked in the mirror," commented another, while some else remarked: "He's going home to google laser tattoo removals."
Meanwhile, the tattoo artist said: "I didn't expect all this virality of the video."
