Lil Uzi Vert Shows Off New Tattoo Covering Their Entire Forehead
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.

Lil Peep’s Tattoos & Their Meanings
Late rapper Lil Peep was best known for his iconic “emo-rap” sound. At a young age, he found great success in the underground and mainstream alternative Hip-Hop scenes. Since his death at 21 in 2017, Peep’s legacy has grown posthumously, as his unique sound has been difficult to replicate, despite attempts by other rappers. In addition to his music, Peep was also famous for his eccentric look and tattoos. He had around 59 at the time of his death and explained the meanings behind many of them. Let’s look at some of Peep’s ink and what they meant to him.
Most Famous Tattoos
One of Peep’s most famous tattoos is the word “PEEP” on his left arm. This is, of course, his rap name under which all of his music was released. In addition to this being his moniker, it was also a nickname given to Peep by his mother when he was a child. Another of Peep’s most iconic tattoos is the word “CryBaby” tatted over his right eyebrow. Peep said he got this because he often complained a lot when he was young. The tattoo also references his third mixtape, CryBaby, which was released in June 2016.
Peep also had another one of his mixtape titles tattooed on his body. He got “HELLBOY” inked on his neck after his first mixtape of the same name, released in 2016. This mixtape was his first full-length release and led to his rise in popularity as an artist. Peep also enjoyed the comic book Hell and its character, Hellboy. Additionally, the rapper had the words “Get Cake Die Young” tattooed on his forehead. In a video shoot for GQ, Peep joked that he woke up one morning and found this tattoo on his face. He claimed to have no idea who gave him the tattoo or where he got it from.
Lil Peep Loved Halloween
However, one that Peep did intentionally get was his birth date, “11-1,” tattooed on his stomach. He also has many other Halloween-themed tattoos referencing his birthday, including a jack-o-lantern and bats. He also received a centipede on his left arm. Regarding this tattoo, he stated, “I hate these centipedes, and they seem to find me and bother me every time. So, I figured to get one tattooed on me”.
Family & Personal Tattoos
Peep had the initials “LKW” and the date “10-27” for his mother, Liza Womack, tattooed on his arm. This was his first tattoo at age 14, and he got it on his mother’s birthday as a present to her. He stated that this was the first thing he decided to get inked because he did not want her to be mad at him for getting a tattoo. Peep also got the Simpsons character Lisa Simpson screaming with the word “Mom” above it on his neck for his mother. He said this represented his relationship with his mother. “Whenever something is going wrong in my life, I call my mom. I stress her the f*ck out.” In addition to familial tattoos for his mom, Peep also got a drawing of his pet dog, Meep, along with the dog’s name on his lower left leg. He said he bought the dog with his ex-girlfriend, and Meep was like a son to him.
He tatted the Pink Panther cartoon character on his neck while visiting Venice with his friends. He shared he got so bored during the trip that he decided to go to a random tattoo shop, which had a pink interior, and thus inspired him to get the Pink Panther tattooed on his neck. Peep also tattooed the Anarchy logo on his left cheek because his followers were trying to look like him, and he wanted to stand out. These were personal to Peep and show the distinctive and eccentric style that separated him from many of his contemporaries.
Peep’s Favorite & Final Tattoos
Peep stated that the “Crying Mickey Mouse” on his arm was his favorite out of all his tattoos. It resembles a low-quality depiction of the Disney character with “Mood” written beneath it. Peep stated this was his favorite tattoo because it described his low-quality mood with a low-quality tattoo. There was also a broken heart beneath his eye. This was Peep’s first face tattoo, and he said it inspired him to get motivated to make more music because now, he couldn’t get a regular job. Another of Peep’s favorites was a scorpion tattoo on the back of his neck, as his zodiac sign was Scorpio.
An apparent favorite seemed to be a tattoo of a drawing by Ed Hardy on his head. Hardy is a world-renowned tattoo artist who transitioned his art to the world of fashion. The drawing on Peep’s head was done by Hardy for an exhibition at Dean Dennis’ tattoo studio. After he got the ink, Peep posted it on his Instagram with the caption, “My new head tat OG hardy.” In another post, he also uploaded a tattoo of a tribal design on his arm. Peep got this one to cover up his ex-girlfriend Layla’s name. “Lil peep brought tribal back and covered up his ex-girlfriends name cuz why the f*ck did I do that lol,” he wrote.
Final Tattoo
Many of his fans nicknamed Peep’s final ink the “BFF Rice” tattoo. This was done in November 2017, just three days before his death. The rapper and his best friend Jody got this matching tattoo on their right arms. It’s a takeout box with chopsticks inside with supposed Japanese Kanji characters on it. However, the characters are difficult to translate. Though the tattoo is somewhat poorly done, it has become iconic to many fans of the late rapper, as it was his last before his tragic passing.

Bhad Bhabie Tattoos Jerrika Karlae’s Name
In the time since she caught the world’s attention on Dr. Phil in the fall of 2016, Danielle Bregoli has shown a ton of growth. The Florida-born entertainer was firstly known for having a smart, landing her in plenty of trouble. Now, however, she’s been channelling her energy into making music, creating content on OnlyFans, and forging friendships with other women in the industry.
As it turns out, the “Gucci Flip Flops” artist seems to have become close with a former lover of Young Thug‘s, Jerrika Karlae. During a 2018 interview, the social media starlet told Paper magazine that she’s a fan of Bhabie. “She made right of her wrongs,” Thugger’s ex previously explained. Since then we haven’t heard much about the two entertainers, though they seem to have forged a strong bond behind the scenes as the 19-year-old recently got a tattoo of Karlae’s name.
Bhabie Flaunts Her Fresh Ink
On Sunday (February 24), Bhabie’s Instagram Story lit up with a photo showing off the latest addition to her arm. “Jerrika” appears on the back of her wrist in a cursive font, sitting pretty below a “1933” in Old English. Other small pieces of ink in the same area include a butterfly on her hand, and what appears to be the Bratz logo wrapping around her thumb.
Bregoli tagged Karlae in the post, though she either hasn’t seen it yet or opted not to repost it on her own Story. From the looks of her feed, the fashionista appears to be tattoo free herself, and it remains unclear if she plans to get one dedicated to Bhabie. In the same Paper interview, Karlae gave SZA and Nicki Minaj their flowers as well, though neither of them appear to have gone so far as getting ink dedicated to her quite yet.

— Bhad Bhabie (@BhadBhabie) February 26, 2023
Elsewhere on social media, Bhabie’s posts have continued to raise eyebrows. Her IG feed remains relatively quiet, but over on Twitter, she spent some time this past weekend expressing her feelings for Chief Keef. In one post on Saturday (February 25) evening, she asked her followers to go tell the “Love Sosa” hitmaker that she’s sorry and that she loves him.
Less than an hour later, she returned with another tweet. “He hate me, it’s cool tho. Imma [be] back,” Bhabie wrote, seemingly referring to her situation with Keef. Read what else the young recording artist had to say here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck Show Off “Commitment” With Valentine’s Day Tattoos
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck demonstrated their “commitment” to one another by getting matching tattoos on Valentine’s Day. Lopez shared pictures of their new ink in a post on Instagram from Tuesday. The artwork displays an infinity sign with both of their names written in cursive through it. On the holiday, the married couple got dinner together at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica.
“Commitment. Happy Valentine’s Day my love. (Look for more deets on VDay coming #OnTheJLo soon…)” Lopez captioned a series of photos. The pictures include images of the tattoos as well as photos of the two of them vacationing together.
The Couple’s Tattoos
A number of celebrities commented on the romantic post. Keke Palmer wrote: “Gon’ head girl.” Even the Dunkin’ Donuts account left several emojis. Affleck recently starred in a Super Bowl commercial for the fast food chain. The advertisement featured the actor working the drive-through window at a Medford, Massachusetts, Dunkin’ Donuts. After the piece aired, Affleck admitted to The Wall Street Journal that some of the unscripted interactions with customers did not go over well. “It’s Boston, after all, so we had some rather coarse and agitated people who were willing to voice their displeasure in a colorful way, and I’m still lobbying to include the most interesting of those in some of the edgiest social spots,” he told the outlet.
Lopez and Affleck married in at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas in July 2022. She reflected on the ceremony in her newsletter a few days later. “We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient….Last night, we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world,” Lopez wrote. She continued: “Behind us two men held hands and held each other. In front of us, a young couple who made the three hour drive from Victorville on their daughter’s second birthday—all of us wanting the same thing—for the world to recognize us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage.”

Post Malone Denied Entry At A Hotel Bar For Surprising Reason
While touring with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Post Malone found himself down under. The “Rockstar” singer was just trying to enjoy some drinks at the QT Hotel’s rooftop bar in Perth, Western Australia when he was turned away, despite his fame and success. The reason? Posty’s face tattoos. As it turns out, it doesn’t matter if you are an A-Lister with multiple award wins under your name. The QT Hotel adheres to strict dress codes that are against “face, neck, and offensive tattoos,” even if you are a top-charting artist. Posty noted that this is the first time he has been denied entry for being tatted, according to Consequence.net
With a growing list of over 75 tattoos, Post’s grungy meets eccentric style continues to stand out. On his face alone, he rocks barbed wire alongside the phrases “Stay Away” and “Always Tired.” The New York native is recognized internationally for his tattoos and continues to add to his one-of-a-kind ink collection. Lucky for Post, he was easily able to recuperate the energy of the night. Alongside his entourage, the group switched gears by kicking back with local fans at 18 Knots, another nearby bar.
Post Malone Explains What His Tats Mean
The QT Hotel eventually did issue an apology, telling the DailyMail “at QT, we aim to welcome everyone and celebrate the uniqueness of each individual.” Furthermore, they state, “our third-party security did not exercise the appropriate discretion, and we take full responsibility for this. We sincerely apologize to the individuals affected.” While the half-hearted apology hints at admiring individuality, it’s unclear as to why the organization maintains such rigid rules.
Last summer, Post released his latest album Twelve Carat Toothache, which earned him number two on the US Billboard’s 200. Prior to his Australia shows, he toured the album with Roddy Rich as the opening act. It’s unlikely that such an incident will discourage this rockstar, who already has exciting plans coming up in the next few months. As his stadium run with the Red Hot Chili Peppers ended this week, he’s headed back to the states to perform at BottleRock 2023 in Napa Valley.

Pete Davidson Removes Kim Kardashian Tattoos
Pete Davidson appears to have removed his tattoos dedicated to his ex-partner, Kim Kardashian. Davidson was photographed vacating shirtless on a beach in Hawaii over the weekend with his rumored girlfriend, Chase Sui Wonders.
Davidson previously had several tattoos that referenced Kardashian and her kids on his body. The two dated for a period of nine months between October 2021 and August 2022.
One of the tattoos read, “My girl is a lawyer,” a reference to Kardashian working towards her law degree. He also had a “Jasmine and Aladdin” piece done to reference their first kiss together in a Saturday Night Live skit. Had also had the name “Kim” branded on his chest. That brand is now simply a faint scar.
Discussing the brand with Ellen Degeneres back in 2022, Kardashian explained: “I don’t want to be able to get rid of it or to cover it up, and I just wanted it there as a scar on me.”
Since splitting with Kardashian, Davidson has been most recently linked to his Bodies Bodies Bodies costar, Chase Sui Wonders. He’s also gone out with Emily Ratajkowski.
As for Kardashian, she appears to still be single since her split from Pete Davidson. While appearing on the Angie Martinez IRL Podcast, last month, Kardashian admitted that co-parenting with Kanye West is “really fucking hard.”
“I had the best dad,” Kardashian said at the time, holding back tears. “I don’t want to get emotional. It has just been a day for me. It’s hard. Shit like co-parenting– it’s really fucking hard you know.”
