Musicians express their creativity in more ways than just their music. Many resort to unique body art, which often garners just as much attention as their talents.
These permanent skin modifications have long been regarded as a means of expressing artists’ struggles and triumphs. One of hip-hop’s most iconic works of body art is tattooed on Philadelphia rapper Eve. Her famous paw print chest tattoo sparked a trend that lasted decades, with people around the globe emulating this fierce look.
Other artists have used virtually every area of their body as a blank canvas, with the face also becoming a popular tattoo location. Rappers such as NBA Youngboy, Quavo, Sexyy Red, and Lil Uzi Vert are just a few who’ve tatted their flawless mugs. No matter the sites of their artwork, rapper’s tattoos have made cultural impacts, allowing them to stand out amongst their peers. As we celebrate National Tattoo Day, here are just a few we can’t stop looking at.
