Over the years, we've witnessed the evolution of Swae Lee from a young artist with tons of potential to somebody who kills most of the features he touches. He was once a teenager frolicking the streets with his brother Slim Jxmmi and now, he's a grown man full of ambition and drive. Swae has accomplished feats within Rae Sremmurd and as a solo artist, teaming up with Post Malone for a couple of bangers along the way. He was once minimally tatted but last year, he debuted a full chest piece before embarking on a new journey this week, showing off his first-ever face tattoo.

A few months after buying a new house, Swae Lee made sure to let everybody in on some major changes to his appearance. The "Sunflower" artist opted to get some ink on his face, marking the first time a tattoo gun has penetrated the skin of his visage. Swae got a simple rose on his cheekbone, showing it off from a few different angles on his social media accounts. He's admittedly excited about the fresh tattoo, but his fans are undecided about it for the time being. Some have been saying he looks amazing with it while others wish he would have forgone this decision.

These days, it's rare to see a rapper who doesn't have face tattoos. Swae Lee was included in that category until yesterday when he officially showed off the new work. What do you think of his new tattoo? Do you think he'll regret it?
