I lost my hair originally in my early 20's and for a couple years had alopecia areata and shaved the remaining hair off my head so I didn't look patchy. it grew back and I had hair for a couple years. Now in my mid-20's I lost all the hair on my body virtually and have been bald for a year or so now. I'm a soldier in the U.S. Army and that is probably the worst and best part of being bald, my hair is always within regulation because I don't have any, but I'm constantly being confused as a male until they see my face.
I thought about tattoo long time ago but I was not sure whether to leave such permanent imprint on my body. I'm still not sure but you make me thinking again ;) or at least dreaming - not too bad at all
Hi Molly, thanks for accepting. I share your determination to stay "within regulation" - and love the looks that I feared once so much. I see you got a nice tattoo! Take care!
Molly... How are you? I am the other XJ. Remember responding to my blog, "stress related, really?". Another XJ surfaced from that blog and she happens to be the only person on this site I have been compelled to talk to on private messages. I was always asking her advice. Lol. I did respond to your comment on my blog but I figured you just don't get on here much or you didn't revisit that page. I can't believe how small the world is and I can't believe you are military. Lol! KIT... Deana
