A video of Uzi tatting a classic anarchy "A" on a fan shows off their artistic side.

Lil Uzi Vert is one of the most fun rappers to keep tabs on these days, and that's just as owed to their personality as their music. Moreover, a video was recently shared on TikTok featuring Uzi inking some art on presumably a fan, or perhaps a regular tattoo shop customer. While it didn't really come with any explanation or backstory, the "Baby Pluto" MC seems calm, collected, and professional in the clip. Given that Uzi's quite the fan of body art, it's exciting to see them flex those muscles and look at artwork from the other side of the chair. Maybe this means we'll see the Philly star open a "Body-Ody Art" shop soon.

Regardless, the 27-year-old is infamous at this point for getting some pretty stylish and often divisive work done. For example, they got matching tattoos with Steve Lacy and Kanye West that made rounds online, although given Ye's current state in the public eye, many probably think that didn't age well. Still, a larger point of controversy has been whether certain designs, statements, or other aesthetics of Uzi's brand lean towards satanism. Sure, they denied these claims time and time again, but it's no easy feat considering they inked an upside-down cross on their forehead.

Meanwhile, Uzi has fans ready for The Pink Tape, with a lot of teases and hints towards upcoming collaborations with the likes of Playboi Carti. Another crucial part of this rollout for many followers is their recent remarks on sobriety helping their creative process. "I thought that my creative process wasn’t gonna be the same because I wasn’t on drugs no more," they expressed to TMZ. Moreover, they expressed being able to think more clearly regarding his work.

"It made sense,” they continued. “It wasn’t like I just made random music. I didn’t just play off the beat. I actually made songs with topics this time. It can change your life." Whether it's for extracurriculars or a change in mentality, fans eagerly await the rap icon's next move. On that note, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Uzi Vert.
