The Grammy Award-winner is no stranger to the tattoo needle, though her latest piece may be her most heartfelt.

As a Libra, no one knows balance quite like Cardi B. The New Yorker obviously got her start from stripping, and later went on to appear on Love & Hip-Hop, only further growing her fanbase. Her songs are best known for their explicit, salacious nature – think "WAP" with Megan Thee Stallion – yet they still earned her a Grammy for her debut album, Invasion of Privacy. While she's certainly established herself as a bad bitch and a force to be reckoned with in the industry, she's also become a mother in recent years.

Bardi and Offset's oldest, Kulture, was born in 2018. She's frequently appeared alongside her famous parents since her birth, whether on Instagram or out and about at events. In 2021, she became a big sister following the arrival of little Wave Set Cephus, who's already nothing short of a fashion killer at just one year old. The 30-year-old loves to dress her children in stylish outfits and show them off to the world, but to truly prove her love for her offspring, Cardi got both of their names tatted.

Welcome to the World, Wave Set Cephus

For her 4-year-old daughter, the former stripper spelled out "Kulture" across one of her arms. By the time Wave was born, Cardi was ready to make an even more serious commitment, getting the young boy's moniker inked on her face, just above her jawline in red. "I tatted my son’s name because I love him," she explained at the time.

It's been several months since she first debuted the unique piece, and from the sounds of her latest tweet, she's only grown more fond of it. "I love my face tatt," the "Clout" artist wrote on Thursday (March 2). Along with the message, she shared a close-up screenshot of her and Offset's McDonald's campaign. As she gazes lovingly at her husband, Cardi's side profile reveals "Wave" written in cursive. She's clearly a big fan of her body art, however, not everyone who saw the post is in agreeance.

Twitter Reacts to Cardi B's Face Tattoo

"Now Cardi! I’m coming at you like a mom/grandma!" one user cautioned the black-haired beauty. "You have a beautiful beautiful face! (I actually think the tat looks good) but NO MORE!!! Don’t mess with perfection boo!!! Imma huge fan!!!! Sending nothing but LOVE." Elsewhere, others joked about where she could get tribute tattoos for future babies, and showed off interesting artwork of their own.
