Britney Spears shaved her hair off, and got some tattoos yesterday.

Making a balding debut at a tattoo parlor in Sherman Oaks, California on Friday night, Britney stuck around for a half-hour to get a new tattoo of a pair of red lips on her wrist, and a cross on her hip before throwing on a hoodie and hitting the road.

CNN reports the poplette has done a drastic 180, and shed her locks for unknown reasons.  They posted video and photos on the air showing the bizarre transformation.

"She wasn't making sense at all and you could tell she's not in a good place at all, and that she is totally freaking out," reveals Emily Wynne-Hughes, an employee at Body & Soul, the Sherman Oaks tattoo parlor where Britney  got a black-white-and-pink cross tattooed on her lower hip and red-and-pink lips on her wrist.

Hughes tells Us Weekly, "She was a nightmare to deal with. She was screaming and flipping out from the pain and wiggling her body all around."

At one point during Britney's one-hour visit, Hughes asked Britney why there was a pink stain on her fluffy white handbag and Britney said she had "spilled Nyquil all over it."

Spears is unraveling, and it has allegedly made Madonna jump into action, she was reported by Perez Hilton to be leaving London on a non-stop to Los Angeles to help Britney through this breakdown.

When asked why she shaved her head, Hughes says Britney replied, "I don't want anyone touching me. I'm tired of everybody touching me." reported Us Weekly.

Everyone at the tattoo parlor was shocked by Spears bizarre behavior.

Hughes, who was appalled and concerned by what she saw, adds, "After she left the shop we all just looked around and said to each other, 'We just saw a huge celebrity on the verge of a nervous breakdown.'"

She is way messed up. I'm scared for her kids. They need to be placed with someone who is not their parents, because then maybe they'll have a chance.

I once thought that BS was just a teenage marketing diva. Now I see her has a complex and richly textured person who is unafraid to ignore the massive societal pressures of celebrity. Not since John Lennon has an artist been such a social non-conformist. Anyone who can freakout a tatoo parlor is aces in my eyes. You go, girl!

Aren't there laws or at the very least a code of ethics for tattoo artists not to tattoo someone who they suspect may be intoxicated with drugs/alcohol or visibly mentally unstable?

She doesnt show much class in my book. I figure she just wants attention. If she thinks she is 'sexy' I think she needs to think again. I always said there is no sexy there is no perfect but what there is is theres unique. A girl named monique or monique l agreed with that. Now I lost her and am trying to find out where she blogs. But remember what I said. My point

Yeah, Geeze, you're right. It takes a friggin genius to lose your mind and leave your kids at home 7 nights a week. If only she and Paris would get together to write some music, we'd have another Abby Road on our hands.

My theory.... She's basically, just a girl with some talents.. What happens when you give a fairly normal teenage girl 50 million dollars and no rules? If you think about it, she's worth about 50 million isn't she? Can have anything she wants, with the exception of privacy. I think with all that fame and money it fried her brain. Keep giving any person too much attention and money and praise and what happens? THIS! Ok, so it's just a theory, but I feel like I couldn't be too far off. She needs to be brought back to earth.

JzFeb 17th, 2007 - 21:42:12

And if it's not the money, then it must be the fame and she needs a break. I remember the original Britney when she first came out. That was nice and is the reason so many people liked her and bought her records. But this is just plain too weird. I guess she needs help of some kind.

ChristineFeb 17th, 2007 - 21:52:37

I don't think anyone who hasn't experienced fame directly can imagine how used up this girl must feel. Her every move is judged and she can't even know who her real 'friends' are, with everyone wanting a piece of her limelight - the people that really care about her are trying to help but she doesn't know who to trust. Sad. Too much, too soon - she never had the chance to mature and develop the hide she would need to cope with her fame.

She probably just had head lice, and didn't want to pass on those nasty little nits to her babies... hence the shaved head.

Or maybe she was just upset that a dead stripper is making more headlines than she is?

What do you get when you mix Teenagers, Sex, Booze, Drugs, Money, and oh ye Stardum? Well, you are looking at it! She is probably on a one way trip down the Lonely trail to Hell! Unless someone helps her get back on track that cares about her and not just her Money! Signed >>Just my Opinion

Well, well, well...what else is new with the pathetic slut...It just goes to show that if any kid or idiot who has too much money, fame or supposed power to think that she or he can go out and do anything she wants that her stupid and idiotic fans will always be there to support and defend her, no matter what stupid things that she does to gain publicity and attention. First she had the loser timberlake( or whatever the hell his name is) a poser and a wannabe rapper K-suck and now she goes and gets her damn head shaved. I now think that she has two areas on her body where she is shaved as it will be a matter of time when she goes out in public nude and shows everyone what she has. How damn sad that all of her fans are so stupid to make excuses and defend her for her stupidity as they are just allowing her to fall into a deep pit where she will spiral out of control and eventually burn herself out. She would have more talent being a porn star than a musician or a actress as she seems to know only one thing..getting laid by every man that she can get to pay attention to her. I would not be surpised to see her in a free-clinic getting teseted for STD's at least once or twice a week....SLUT!!!!!

Britney Needs A Break FROM US!Feb 18th, 2007 - 00:28:47

Everyone is happy now.........Britney is beyond out of control. She has hit rock bottom! Who is to blame? WE ARE! The paparazzi, media outlets (shows, internet, magazines)& the public, pro & anti Britney supporters are all chiming this girl down every week. What's worse is she can't even pee in public in peace! We need to stop paying her any attention so she can just live her life - hopefully she will concentrate on motherhood & re-establishing her talents. Britney doesn't know what to do with herself anymore - THAT'S THE PROBLEM. Shaving her head bald!!!!!?????

This is a serious cry for depression & no direction in life. Britney has lost all ambition. No music career at present. Her movie debut bombed! The men in her life treated her like crap! Britney take your millions & calm down. She should focus on her kids & stay close to her family. No I'm also not a fan of Britney's. But I can't even believe how low she's fallen!! It's like she's saying: 'since everyone wants a piece of me - then here it is.' People should stop rejoicing about Britney's fall from grace - she is on the same road as Anna Nicole Smith & MANIC DEPRESSION IS NEVER SOMETHING TO WISH ON ANYONE - EVEN BRITNEY!

'JZ', 'Christine' & 'Britney Needs A Break FROM US' you guys said it perfeeectly!

But we all know people close to Britney have told her the same things. Also as someone else mentioned, maybe her shaving her head isn't a cry for help BUT a cry for more attention - why else would she do it & go out in public the next day?
What! Taking off her clothes at a strip club & wearing a bikini outfit wasn't enough this week?. Anna Nicole Smith is taking away all of Britney's spotlight!! Brit had to come up with something more outrageous than Anna could ever do in life! Brit's already showed us her naked p****y so at this point - walking completely nude down Beverly Hills is the only thing left! Holy Mickey Mouse Club!

Ummm Jeeselouise...please dont do that. PLease dont compare Britany Spears to John Lennon....unless you were being sarcastic..in which case PHEWWW lol

You say not since John Lennon hav you seen a celeb be so into non conforming?? Brittney isnt non-conforming shes losing her head from stress. Britney is so normal and conforms to the regular to a tea! SHes normal and we all know it. So does she. ONly good thing I can say is she doesnt care if we know it. SHes white trash and seems to be proud of it.

Her rebelious ways pale in comparison to someone like, lets say, Pete Doherty. NOw HE is NOn-confomist!!!!!

The absolutely digusting part of this is that all of this is being displayed for everyone to watch.
I feel terrible for her family who are probably stressed out by all of this.
Mental illness is a serious matter and this kind of thing trivializes this. It is disgraceful how the media finds this amusing.

Britney Spears is obviously going through some kind of breakdown and it's my guess that it's PPD, Post Partum Depression. Think about it. She had two babies back to back, is going through a divorce and has paparazzi following her literally everywhere. She does need help. I wonder if her family has even thought of PPD or if they're just worried that their cash cow is stuck in manure.

Brit, baby...talk to Brooke Shields and Marie Osmond. They can hook you up with a good doctor.

Jennifer it doesn't matter! Within 24 to 48 hours Britney will have done something more star-crazed to get attention for her fame or insanity, whichever. There's gonna be a gigantic amount of coverage given to the Anna Nicole Smith - 'body & baby' trial showdown tomorrow in Florida........Larry Birkhead, Howard K Stern & Anna's Momma. So once the Anna stuff bump Britney off thetabloid pedestal-she'll do something more outrageous to keep us talking again!! You'll have a new comment by then. OK!!

I'm really overwhelmed by Britney Spears audacious act.She not only showed that how far a woman can go but also showed how wonderful she looks.She is already a very beautiful woman and she looks even beautiful more when she shaved her head.I'ts not easy for such a famous woman to shave her head.It requires oodles of courage to face a sea of critics.She seemed determined to sport the bald look even when the beauty salon refused to shave her.It is considered a woman's beauty lies in her hair.Again she proved everyone wrong.She has been in a lot of emotional stress lately and she has come back strongly.Every woman must learn something from her.I suggest she shave her head clean with lather and go on with her singing routine.Britney we love you for shaving your head and showing everyone that even a bald woman can look stunningly beautiful.
