A shaved head always makes a fresh, edgy statement, but a vivid color (or colors!) and an eye-catching design turn up the drama even more. If you’ve been considering taking the short hair plunge, let the following buzz cut art ideas from Instagram serve as your inspiration, from a surprisingly sweet strawberry print to a head covered in neon geometric shapes. You’ll be tempted to bust out the clippers and hair dye yourself (although we recommend saving any drastic hair transformations for a trip to the salon).

(Actually) Groundbreaking Florals

A buzz cut has never looked more spring-ready than this pistachio green style covered in daisies. It’s a cool, androgynous look that’s sure to have all eyes on you wherever you go.

Neon Masterpiece

The highlighter-bright colors and graphic shapes would look just as fitting on the walls of an art gallery as they do on a freshly shaved head. We can imagine this buzz cut looking amazing in a pastel color palette too.

Strawberry Fields

If your style is more sweet than edgy, you’ll love this playful strawberry design.

Scene Kid Revival

Whether you’re a former scene kid or you just want to experiment with the look now, why not try shaving one of your sides? A leopard print design and side swept bang are so mid-2000s.

Cool Stencils

Forget a necklace with your birth year on it. Announce a meaningful year loud and proud by shaving it into the back of your head. You can also use your buzz cut as a canvas to carve in a name or an impactful word.
