Cardi B is the latest celebrity to get a tattoo on her face. Media Take Out confirmed that yesterday, Cardi decided to permanently alter her face – by putting a tattoo of her son’s name on her countenance.
The tattoo was done right on Cardi’s jawline – and it looks extremely painful.
A face tattoo or facial tattoo is a tattoo located on the bearer’s face or head. It is part of the traditional tattoos of many ethnic groups.
In modern times, although it is considered taboo and socially unacceptable in many cultures,as well as considered extreme in body art, this style and placement of tattoo has emerged in certain subcultures in recent years. This is due to the continuing acceptance of tattoos and the emergence of hip-hop culture popularizing styles such as the teardrop tattoo.
The new trend of BIG name celebrities getting face tattoos is growing. Last week, hip hop superstar Drake got a tattoo on his face. And now Cardi’s got one.
Is this new trend going to extend past celebrities, and onto regular folks?
Recognized by Forbes as one of the most influential female rappers of all time, Cardi B holds various records among women in hip hop; she is the female rapper with the most number-one singles (five) on the Billboard Hot 100, the only to achieve multiple number ones with solo songs and the only to achieve number ones in two decades (2010s and 2020s) on the chart. She is also the female rapper with the most diamond-certified songs (three) by the RIAA, the highest-certified female rapper of all time on their Top Artists (Digital Singles) ranking, on which she is also among the 10 highest-certified women, and the female rapper with the most songs with a billion streams on Spotify—where she also has the most-streamed female rap album.
She was the first lead artist to top the inaugural Billboard Global 200. Her accolades include a Grammy Award, eight Billboard Music Awards, six Guinness World Records, six American Music Awards, 14 BET Hip Hop Awards, and two ASCAP Songwriter of the Year awards. In 2018, Time magazine included her on its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world, and in 2020, Billboard honored her as Woman of the Year. Outside of music, she became the creative director of entertainment magazine Playboy in 2022.
