Post wears a second portrait of Kurt Cobain by his left elbow. (Floating by cash is a Miraak Mask from the Elder Scrolls game.) On his bicep, Post has Bob Dylan playing the harmonica. The first, in the prayer hands spot, is Johnny Cash. Post’s left arm is just as much a collage. On his stomach is the Cold War phrase “ Kill a commie for mommy,” and spanning his whole stomach is the Greek phrase “ Molon labe” (written in Greek), Spartan King Leonidas’s response to Xerxes when asked to lay down his weapons: “come and take them.” Moving down to Post’s ribs, we find a skull and crossbones on the left ribcage and Master Shake from ‘Aqua Teen Hunger Force’ on his right side. It’s unclear what the illustration depicts exactly, though it appears to be an antlered man leading an army of undead. Over his right pec is zombie Jesus (as he told GQ: “Jesus is very handsome, so I figured how can we make him super metal?”) Post also has new mural art over his left pec and extending across his stomach. Under his left collarbone is a Dallas Cowboys football helmet, and under the right is a pair of what looks like eyeball dice. Here is every Post Malone tattoo that we could Post Malone’s chest and back tattoosĪcross his collarbone, Post wears a a sword, tattooed to look like it’s stabbing him through the neck (once again: “swords are fucking awesome"). Still, we hope that Post leaves some negative space on his body canvass-and that he’s working through some of the difficulties which spurred him to fill in those other regions. Post’s tattoos, however, should not all be associated with mental health struggles many reflect the artist’s history, his muses, and his aesthetic tastes. does maybe come from a place of insecurity, to where I don't like how I look, so I'm going to put something cool on there so I can look at myself and say, ‘You look cool, kid,’ and have a modicum of self-confidence, when it comes to my appearance.” In an interview with GQ earlier last year, Post explained that his decision to tattoo his face might have grown out of insecurity: “I'm a ugly-ass motherfucker.
And the compulsion to add ink hasn’t always been a healthy one. Open canvas space on Post’s body has been shrinking for some time. The real number, however, is likely higher, given his tattoos come in groups and given many likely live out their Post Malone existence covered always by clothing. After a 1.5 second Google search, we can say with near absolute uncertainty that, as of this moment, in 2021, the hip-hop, trap, and so-many-other-genre artist, Post Malone, currently has 78 identifiable tattoos.
