Lil Uzi Vert just added to his tattoo collection. The Philly rapper debuted his brand new chest and back pieces, an oni on his chest and a samurai on his back, completed by L.A. based tattoo artist Ganga.

August 18, 2021 The new chest and back tattoos arent the most outrageous pieces of body art in Uzis collection. Last February, he famously got a pink diamondinserted into his forehead but later had the hole pierced together after a fan accidentally ripped the diamond outat a concert. Days before losing the diamond, Uzi got a cross tattoo on his tongue, proclaiming the new ink to be awesome and right in line with his ethos of having all of his body art mean hes taking music seriously above all. In a 2017 interview with The FADER, he recalled the moment he got his first face tattoo, the word Faith in cursive script. I had a job for fucking four days. I couldnt do it, he said. Im not normal. I was in there just thinking, Why am I doing this? It was like, If I get this face tattoo, I got to focus. I cant go in nobodys office with a suit on with this shit on my face. I got to focus on what I want to do. Subscribe to DX Newsletter Get The Most Important Stories Of The Day Straight To Your Inbox Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
