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.
