Once hustlin’ every day, Rick Ross is now certain that he will always be wealthy. The “Hustlin'” rapper, 38, debuted a wild new face tattoo last weekend reading simply, “Rich Forever.”
A nod to his 2012 mixtape by the same name, his Rich Forever tat is etched onto his chin just below his lip. Ross, who usually sports a full beard and mustache, shaved his chin around the tattoo to show off the words.
He posted a photo of his face with the new embellishment to his Instagram account on Sunday, May 25. “Rich Forever” is also the name of a single that Ross released with John Legend, as well as his Instagram handle.
Ross’ new ink may have been inevitable; the Maybach rhymer already sports more than 100 tattoos on his body, including previous art on his face. His noggin features the letter W over his left eye, which he says is “for win,” an outline of the state of Florida between his eyebrows, and three crosses below his right eye, among others.
The “Sanctified” performer told Buzzfeed earlier this year that he got his first tattoo, a dollar sign, at age “13 or 14.” As to where it is on his body, he told the site, “Man… It’s in the midst! It’s in the midst…because I had to get it somewhere my shirt wouldn’t really show it, you know?” He went on to get more than 50 different dollar sign tattoos.
His latest number was inked by California-based celebrity tattoo artist Nikko Hurtado, who has also worked with Drake, Kat Von D, The Game, and Chris Cole.
