Over the last several weeks Britney has taken some pretty drastic measures in her attempt to change her lifestyle. She reportedly has checked herself in and out of rehab a couple times and now has made a totally new image for herself; complete with tattoos and a bald head. The hairstylist from the Hollywood Salon claims she was accompanied by bodyguards and a swarm of cameras as she made her entrance and expressed that she wanted her head completely shaved. Britney claimed her extensions were too tight and she wanted to grow out her own hair. As the stylist tried to convince Britney to go with a short cut and style- Britney grabbed the shears and began to shave it herself! What a shock! I don’t think anyone could have expected this! From there she went on to a tattoo parlor in Burbank, CA where she received a tattoo on her wrist of lips and a cross on her lower abdomen from artist Max Scott. Of course the cameras were right outside the whole time documenting her jouney. Max claims he felt really sorry for her being stalked and constantly surrounded by all the cameras. It’s clear that they are out of control and Britney is completely overwhelmed with them bugging the hell out of her constantly! I love tattoos and from experience can say that this is Britney’s attempt to simply trademark where she’s been and inspire her to move forward and grow from this hellacious experience she’s been through! I know everyone says tattoos are a rebellious act but I don’t see that being the case with Britney…she’s really just ready to put all this behind her and move on! As a fan of Britney, I must say I am proud of her for claiming her own identity and can see this being a major turning point in her life…from here it’s just a wide open road that can lead her wherever she wishes to go! Britney’s friends and family have made some pleas with her; one submitting an open letter to the media…which was not the proper way to confront her as a friend! Her mother has made it clear that she is no longer supporting her wreckless behavior! Britney did start to breakdown while shaving her head–claiming that it was her mother who was going to be most upset by her decision! Lately it seems that Britney’s mom has been ashamed and embarrased by her actions..and that seems to have taken quite a toll on Britney. One thing’s for sure Britney’s still young and she’s far from being done!
