A likeness of Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar was shaved into the back of a man’s head by Azerbaijani hair artist Hicran Axundov.

The back of the man’s head also featured a likeness of the Republic of Turkey’s founding President Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, while the top of his head was dyed in the colours of the ‘TRNC’s’ flag.

Axundov created the art ahead of a planned trip to the north, where he will give hair styling workshops at a local hairdressing college.

News website Kibris Gercek wrote that workshop participants will “have the opportunity to learn Axundov’s innovative hair techniques”.

He has also been known to shave into people’s heads the likenesses of other famous figures, including Argentina and Galatasaray footballer Mauro Icardi and late singer Michael Jackson.

He has over 30,000 followers on social media platform Instagram.
