by

Lil Uzi Vert is showing off yet another tattoo. Fans familiar with Uzi will know that they are no stranger to body art. Moreover, in sporting more than 50 tattoos, Uzi is one of the most inked up stars in modern hip-hop. The star has been in the news a lot recently for their body art. Indeed, they took to social media earlier this week to show off their new tongue tattoo. That piece features an image of an upside down cross. However, Uzi’s new tat may be their most extreme one yet.

TheNeighborhoodTalk posted a photo of Uzi’s newest tattoo. The artwork appears to be a custom design. It’s somewhat difficult to make out exactly what the image is. However, what is clear is that the new work does cover Uzi’s entire forehead. The design comes on the heels of the diamond piece Uzi got on their forehead two years ago that they later removed. Additionally, Uzi made headlines in January when they got six new piercings on their forehead.

Lil Uzi Vert Is No Stranger To Body Art

Like much of Uzi’s public persona, the new piece is likely to create controversy. Some fans have voiced discomfort with they claim are Satanic themes in Uzi’s music and artwork. Moreover, many fans expressed anger at their use of Christian imagery in their cross tattoo. However, the star denies these allegations. Uzi has always maintained that dark imagery is simply their style. Meanwhile, it is unlikely that the Philadelphia native is done getting new tats.

The transformation of Uzi’s appearance over the years has been striking. Tattooing can become a way of life for many people. Indeed, entire subcultures exist centered around body art. Furthermore, for Uzi, it seems tattoos are a central part of who they are as a person. However, it’s not just receiving tattoos that Uzi has shown a passion for. The “Money Longer” rapper has even tried their hand at giving tattoos. Uzi recently went viral when they were filmed giving a fan an anarchy tattoo. We are excited to see what new pieces Uzi can come up with in the future.

by

Lil Uzi Vert is one of the most unique rappers out right now. One of the ways Uzi shows off their creativity is through body art. Indeed, with more than 50 tats on his body, Uzi easily ranks as one of the most inked-up rappers today. However, their artwork has often proved controversial in the past. Now, the 27-year-old is showing off their newest ink. Once again, the tattoo is raising eyebrows with fans.

A Twitter user named Uziawge posted a photo of the tattoo. The tat is located on Uzi’s tongue and features an image of an upside-down cross. Moreover, Uzi previously revealed a similar tattoo on his forehead. However. this tattoo is difficult to clearly make out in the video. Additionally, the tweet clips GangaTattoo, who likely did the tattoo. This is the same artist who performed Uzi’s incredible full-body tat. That piece took more than 16 hours to complete and cost Uzi a cool $100,000.

Uzi’s Newest Ink Causes Controversy

Although some fans were quick to praise the bold new artwork, others have taken offense to what they consider Satanic themes. Some comments have called the artwork blasphemous. Moreover, former Northern Illinois football player Boomer Mays responded to the photo by tweeting “The devil is hard at work.” Additionally, the tattoo has further fueled conspiracy theories against Uzi. Like many musicians, Uzi has been accused by conspiracy theorists of selling his soul to become famous. Additionally, Uzi has been accused of using Satanic themes in his music. However, the Philadelphia rapper has repeatedly denied this.

Uzi has been open about their love of tattoos over the years. They famously got matching tattoos with Steve Lacy and Kanye West. Although their initial concern was only getting ink, they quickly grew an interest in creating tattoos. Subsequently, Uzi was shown giving a fan a tattoo of an anarchy symbol last week. Meanwhile, fans of Uzi are eagerly awaiting the release of his new album The Pink Tape. Initially, the album was slated to be released last December. However, the project has been repeatedly delayed. Uzi says the project is currently in its final stages. We can’t wait for him to show off his new music along with his artwork.
