So I’m 25, male, balding in the front (deep v balding) sort of like Jude Law except I don’t have curly hair.

I want to shave it all off, like skin shaved but I feel like it looks to “gangster.” On top of that I already have a birthmark that looks like a black eye under my right eye socket.

I have a 1 year old, a wife, work in a restaurant and going to school. The last thing I need is to be caught up with some nut job who thinks I might be a gang banger to screw with my day. (For instance if I’m out shopping, or jogging or etc.)

So be honest with me, am I just being paranoid? Are those days long gone and skin shaved heads are acceptable? Or should I play it safe and just keep it short and neat?

Thanks jellies!
