I say be brave and get lots of piercings and facial tattoos. At the very least, you will be memorable.

I sometimes go full-shave; I like to sport a lil goatee w/that. I'd do a soul patch but the hair there is totally prepubescent.
Right now the hair I have is fairly long & thick; the less on top, the more on the face for me, I guess(& vice-versa).

Personally, I think beards are pretty epic.

A girlfriend 15 years younger than you.

Unless you're going bald before you're 35, of course.

Haha that's awesome. The band I posted is Demon Hunter, if you didn't know. A Christian metal band (which I actually had no idea was Christian for like the first 2 years I was listening to them). They are insanely good.

Man I wish I could pull off the bald head & beard look.

Go for it. I was like that a while back. No regrets.

Shaved is WAY cooler than just balding.

I see no reason for this arbitrary age limit.

I think I'll do it in the summer after leaving college and before I start a new job. So anyone new that i meet wont find it weird. Even if it suits someone it still takes a while to get used to.

I'm thinking tightly shaved with a permanent stubble. Unless I end up working in pharmaceutical company. Then I can forget the stubble
