This might be one of the funniest cartoons talking about Breaking Bad. If you’re a true follower of the series, you understand all the “weapons of choice”. You understand what it means by “ATM” and the scratched out “rocks” replaced by “minerals”. This is an interesting analysis of the characters’ appearance. It is something that once you start thinking about, it’s actually pretty accurate.
While this idea of hair and violence was most likely done on purpose by the writers, it is something that we can think about in real life. We judge people based on appearance. Walt has a much more intimidating persona once he decides to shave his head. He continues to shave his head to appear more intimidating and I think it gave him some confidence. The same goes for Jesse when he has shorter hair in later seasons and longer hair in earlier seasons. Throughout the series they both become more violent. However, in the last episode when they both finally leave the drug life behind, they both have more hair than they did at the very beginning.
Even in the drug world, I think it is more than plausible that people try to look more intimidating. People in gangs have tattoos directly on their faces. I think there is this general stigma that when we see tattoos in general we think something, let alone if they are on someone’s face. Drug dealer's WANT to look scary.
