Ol’ Dirty Bastard – Worst Rap Fan Tattoos
Can't fault the tattoo artist on this one. Solid job in getting Ol' Dirty Bastard's face right, even down to the dandruff in the eyebrows. Poor choice for location though. A portrait tattoo on the foot is never a good idea. You can only show it off in the summer when its hot, and a face on your foot is just creepy...
Gucci Mane – Worst Rap Fan Tattoos
We were all up in laughter when Gucci Mane showed off a face tattoo of an ice cream cone decorated with thunderbolts. The jokes on this rapper were non-stop, from "He got a hot fudge sundae on his face," to "Never go get a tattoo after going to the ice cream parlor #Gucci...
Nicki Minaj – Worst Rap Fan Tattoos
This hip-hop enthusiast really tried to go in with this Nicki Minaj tattoo mash-up. Is this supposed to be a Lady Gaga mashup? We get you're trying to be creative here, but putting things on Nicki's face that don't belong is not the way to go...
Drake – Worst Rap Fan Tattoos
When Drake said, "Tat my f---in' name on you so I know its real," we doubt he had this in mind. This is taking it to a level beyond crazy. We're talking stalker fan that hides in your bushes. Clearly, her love for Drake was misplaced in getting his name tattooed on the front of her dome...
50 Cent – Worst Rap Fan Tattoos
The person who did this tat either had to be high or drunk, or possibly both. Why? Well for starters, 50 Cent looks crazy here. He seems to be a mix of a beast or a gremlin, not the Queens, N.Y., emcee known to grace his album covers showcasing features the ladies love...
Lil Boosie – Worst Rap Fan Tattoos
Lil Boosie has a ton of fans out there, just ask this woman. There's no other way to show someone that you really are a fan than by getting their face tattooed in the middle of your chest, right? But seriously, this is a really bad tattoo...
Wu-Tang Clan – Worst Rap Fan Tattoos
A head full of tattoos proves that you're down with body art, and don't really care what most folks have to say. We respect your gangster, but the Wu-Tang Clan logo on your left cheek? We bet Raekwon wouldn't approve of that. With all of these tats on this man's head, Birdman is somewhere reconsidering his permanent art decisions...
Big Pun – Worst Rap Fan Tattoos
Big Pun should be laughing at this tattoo, that's how bad it is. We know that Pun was a big guy -- pun intended -- but like any other human, he does have a neck. On top of that, he appears as if he's about to go vampire on someone's neck with those fangs...
