Shaving the head, either voluntarily or as a requirement, has often been used as a way to initiate oneself into a group, to create a collective oneness. Others shave their heads to gain a sense of identity, to stand out from the crowd. For whatever reason, it is almost always a near religious experience, but at the same time very liberating.

Having never before done a piece featuring a guy having his head shaved, I though it would be a fun and interesting challenge. Other aspects, such as the arm tattoo and the punching bag, came toward the end.
