Recently, more and more people are getting tattoos on the most visible place - the face, so that It’s better to express yourself and show your inner world. We decided to make a selection of domestic performers who got tattoos on their faces.


1. Lottery Billz

A young and promising artist not long ago got himself a tattoo in the form of a crying heart flying away on wings. The performer interprets his tattoo as follows: “Where love should be with understanding, only tears of suffering appear...”. The author told us that he decided to get a tattoo to remind people of the importance of helping and understanding each other in this world.


2.Yung Pretty

A young performer from St. Petersburg made the following tattoos on his face: a nickname above his eyebrow, two tears on his cheekbones, a cross on his right cheek, and a crossed out heart, meaning that there is no place for heartfelt feelings in his head.



He has a huge number of tattoos on his face:
Love and play ( play And love under the eyes) - everything that the performer can do.
"Candyman" is a reference to the film.
13 is an unlucky number, so that people don’t think of doing anything stupid towards the artist.
The sign of Omen as the personification of a child for whom everything is destined.
Maple Leaf - Yura remembers his childhood, he had not yet gone to school and fell from a large metal fence, and when he fell, he saw how “helicopters” (maple seeds) fell with him, and time seemed to stop.
Crystallization sign on the right cheek - “let’s just say I sniffed my kilogram... I won’t do it again.”
K5 - tattoo in honor of his team (Also members of Kadis, PAPA, Code10).



4. Young Gipsy

The artist has a huge number of tattoos on his body and several on his face. One tattoo is a symbol Ohm(?) or Aum- it is believed that this sound was the first and the Universe appeared from its vibration. It is also considered a sacred sound. The second is the inscription “Family” above the eyebrow and tears, thereby the performer shows grief for his family: he lost his father and recently divorced his wife.


5.044 Rose

The performer got himself a tattoo of a rose in honor of his nickname.



6. Jacques-Anthony

Jacques got a tattoo of the word “Game” upside down, thereby showing that he had “flipped” it.

7.Face

Face made tattoos on his face at the beginning of 2017. There are two inscriptions under his eyes Hate And Love(hate and love). As Ivan explained in one of his interviews, these are the two emotions that he experiences most often, and the inscription “Numb” is interpreted as the artist’s internal state. He said that until recently he felt Numb(which translated means numb or helpless).

8. KIZARU

Oleg also has several tattoos on his face. One of them is “JEFE”. According to him, it reminds him of his time in prison. During this time, he learned important life lessons, in memory of which he got a tattoo. He also has another tattoo of a devil's horn, as on the cover of his debut album Mas Fuerte, and another symbol whose meaning the artist did not mention.

Rap these days is not just popular music, but a real anthem for youth. For teenagers and children, “Feis” and “Morgenstern” are not English-German words, but the names of their main idols. They are imitated, envied, and copy their lifestyle.

Rappers are often compared to the rockers of the 80s. And they do have at least one thing in common. Few of them served in the army, but if the protesting youth of the late Union did this from an ideological point of view, then the current idols simply do not want to lose the money that they can earn at the peak of their popularity.

Some of them successfully got away with it, some studied until they were 27, others were saved by tattoos. “Komsomolskaya Pravda” decided to talk about the relationship between today’s popular singers and the army.

TATTOOS ARE A SIGN OF MENTAL DISORDER

Just recently, the military registration and enlistment office of Bashkortostan explained why they didn’t take the rapper Face, popular among teenagers, into the army. Last spring, Ufa resident Ivan Dremin underwent a thorough medical examination at his place of registration, and announced to his fans that he would suspend his career and go to serve. But, as it turned out later, he did not pass the medical commission. Military doctors considered that he had all the signs of a psychiatric disorder. And it’s all because of the famous facial tattoos.

Such tattoos are a sign of mental disorder. He had a number of other diseases, which I will not expand on due to medical confidentiality, but the tattoos were of decisive importance, said Boris Usatov, chairman of the military medical commission of the Bashkortostan military registration and enlistment office, at a press conference.

Ivan was declared partially fit for military service, he received a temporary deferment and will be under the supervision of doctors at the military registration and enlistment office for the next few years.

TATTOOS WERE SAVED FROM SERVICE AND TIMATI

The “colored body” also saved Timati, better known to the military registration and enlistment office as Timur Yunusov, from the army. The popular rapper himself admitted that during the commission he was given a so-called “white” ticket, recognizing him as mentally unfit due to the fact that more than 60% of his body was covered with tattoos.

The Black Star member considers military service itself to be useless.

I have always considered the army unnecessary in my life. Having learned this decision of the medical board, I came home with a happy smile. And my mother told me: “You see, at least once your tattoos were useful,” says Timati.

EXPELLED FROM THE UNIVERSITY

Now another native of Bashkiria, the very young Alisher Morgenstern, is gaining popularity. The 21-year-old rapper started making music at the age of 12. He grew up without a father, worked part-time at a car wash and in a courier service, but soon realized that he only liked creativity.

Alisher’s relationship with studies did not work out - the young man entered a pedagogical institute, but not for the sake of gaining knowledge. At that time, his only source of income was survivor payments in the amount of eight thousand rubles, which the university transferred to him.

True, the blogger did not stay there for long - in his second year, Alisher “flew out” of the educational institution with a bang. The pretext was that he was filming a video for his video blog on the school grounds where he was doing his internship in an “inappropriate” manner.

Therefore, there is now no “amulet” from the army in the form of obtaining a higher education for Morgenstern. Therefore, soon the military registration and enlistment office employees will come to see him. Alisher has nothing to fear - it is unlikely that he will be hired to serve with such an appearance. The dreadlocks on your head can be shaved off, but three rather large tattoos on your face (and several on your body) are unlikely to be removed. Probably, the fate of Timati and Face awaits him.

I CAME HOME, AND POPULARITY AWAITS HERE

But another mega-popular artist Max Korzh paid his debt to the Motherland. The singer from Belarus, while still a teenager, became interested in music, finished school, and entered the university at the Faculty of International Relations.

For the sake of prestige, as he told reporters. – But, as it turned out, it’s not mine. I didn’t show up for the session and I was expelled.

Max dropped out of university, but did not refuse to serve. I went to the military registration and enlistment office at the first call and, as expected, served. Before the service, he managed to record the song “Heaven will help us,” which brought him fame. It was even played on radio stations while he was repaying his debt to the Motherland. Without hesitation, Korzh openly says that he borrowed $300 from his mother to record a song in the studio.


During the last training camp in the army, I turned out to be cooler than my grandfathers - they took pictures with me and took autographs, says Max.

After his service, he was reinstated at the university, but his priorities remained the same, and by this time his popularity was gaining momentum.

THERE ARE THREE MORE YEARS

Nothing is yet known about the relationship between Eljay and the service. The popular rapper is now 24 years old, and he has three more years left - to resign or repay his debt to his homeland.

Alexey Uzenik himself does not comment on this matter, but it is known for sure that he does not study at the university. After ninth grade, he entered medical school, and then unexpectedly dropped out - rap music, it turns out, had been calling him to it for several years.

Popularity is growing, Alexey works “without raising his head.” There is definitely no place for the army in his life at the moment. And it’s unlikely that the young performer will be accepted there.

The “trick” of his stage image is milky-white lenses, which look creepy, but create an extraordinary look. He also loves getting tattoos: on his right elbow he has a tattoo in the form of a lantern, which means the beginning of a successful period in his life. On his right hand, he got a tattoo of a bullet on his finger, and a brass knuckle under his left eye. Isn't this a sign of a mental disorder, like Face's?

HIDING FROM THE MILITARY BOARD

Information that Dima Bilan was running away from the army appeared back in 2006, when he was 24 years old. It turned out that the singer abandoned the army, despite the fact that the medical board declared him fit for military service. Bilan had health problems, but they planned to take him into the army as soon as he was cured. The singer’s card then included a diagnosis of a minor urological disease.

Some people with such a diagnosis do not undergo special surgery, hoping to “derail,” the military registration and enlistment office commented then.

They tried to catch Dima for several years, but for some reason they could not do it. Oddly enough, Bilan, flashing on TV screens and newspaper pages, was unable to be found by the police, who were given lists of draft dodgers.

Well, the local police officer is looking for him, but he can’t find him. We can't go to his concert and crash the show? – the Ministry of Internal Affairs commented 12 years ago.

Bilan himself commented that he was not in the army for one simple reason - he was studying at GITIS in his second year to become a dramatic actor. What, what, but Bilan managed to avoid the army one or two times. Now he is already 37 years old, and he is definitely not in danger of serving.

Domestic rapper Alexey Dolmatov, together with his ex-wife Aiza, are big fans of tattoos. Their bodies are almost entirely covered with many interesting tattoos. Today we’ll talk about all of Guf’s tattoos, tell you their meaning and show you photos.

If we evaluate all the tattoos together, we can highlight several main themes. First - Moscow and everything connected with it. As a member of the Centr group and an independent artist, Guf gave tribute to his hometown and the area in which he grew up.

More Some of the tattoos are dedicated to his wife. As we remember, several works on Isa’s body are also dedicated to her now ex-husband.

Other Guf tattoos are images of various characters, inscriptions, etc. Anyway, let's discuss each in turn.

The word NO and a tape recorder under your elbow

This is one of Guf's first tattoos. All fans remember the famous one, which underwent various modifications and improvements several times. There are also many rumors about the word “NO”. In some sources you can find information that this is an abbreviation with a rather bold decoding. However, I don’t want to write about what we don’t know for sure.

Microphone tattoo on left shoulder

On the rapper’s left shoulder is another evidence of his affiliation with music. A fairly standard plot for musicians.

Moscow inscription on the back of the neck

The first tattoo dedicated to Moscow is located on the artist’s neck. The inscription is made in English. Pay attention to the very unusual font!

Guf's tattoo on the back: panorama of Moscow

The famous 7 high-rise buildings are located across the entire width of the artist’s back. The black and white tattoo once again reminds us of Guf’s beloved city.

Map of Zamoskvorechye on the side

A rather interesting and unusual work is located on the side of the young performer. This is a schematic drawing of the central district of Moscow. Some may consider this a clear overkill. However, the idea of ​​such a tattoo is unique and interesting in itself.

Movie characters on the right shoulder

Very high-quality and memorable work can be seen on the musician’s right shoulder. These are the heroes of your favorite films Reservoir Dogs, The Godfather and Scarface.

Label name on chest

For quite a long time, Guf has been an independent artist, organizing his own label ZM Nation. The label's logo is emblazoned on the musician's chest.

Paired tattoo in honor of Aiza

In the article about Aiza, we already showed a couple tattoo that she and Guf made on their shins. One love Vagapova – written on Guf’s leg. As you might guess, the last word denotes the maiden name of the ex-wife.

Son's birthday

We also remember how important the birth of a son is in the lives of Guf and Aiza. The guys captured this event in the form of tattoos. We saw the child’s name on Aiza’s hand, but Guf’s date of birth is written in Roman numerals: V.V.X, which means 05/05/2010.

Inscriptions

There are quite a lot of different inscriptions on the artist’s body. Here you can see the famous tattoo of football hooligans – ACAB or all cops are bastards, a few lines on the arm, the Arabic word “Hashish”.

In conclusion, we can say that Guf was and remains one of the most prominent performers on the Russian rap scene, and not only his music speaks for him, but also the numerous tattoos on his body.

The performer got himself a tattoo of a rose in honor of his nickname.

Jacques-Anthony

Jacques got a tattoo of the word “Game” upside down, thereby showing that he had “flipped” it.

Face

Face made tattoos on his face at the beginning of 2017. Under his eyes there are two inscriptions Hate and Love (“hate” and “love”). As Ivan explained in one of his interviews, these are the two emotions that he experiences most often, and the inscription “Numb” is interpreted as the artist’s internal state. He said that until recently he felt like Numb (which means numb or helpless).

Kizaru

Oleg also has several tattoos on his face. One of them is “JEFE”. According to him, it reminds him of his time in prison. During this time, he learned important life lessons, in memory of which he got a tattoo. He also has another tattoo in the form of a devil's horn, as on the cover of his debut album "Mas Fuerte", and another symbol, the meaning of which the artist did not mention.

We find out the meaning of the tattoos on the faces of Eljay, Scrooge, Legalize and other cool guys

Face tattoos are one of the signs of the so-called “new school of rappers.” They shock the grandmothers at the entrance more than the clogged sleeves. And if earlier facial tattoos were part of the image of American hip-hoppers, now more and more Russian performers are getting designs for themselves. Read more about them in this collection.

ELJAY


And although the artist himself did not comment on this event, fans started a whole discussion to get to the bottom of the meaning of the inscription.

From the conclusions: the inscription is a line of coordinates. Due to the poor clarity of the images, it is impossible to see the exact numbers. But the main version at the moment is Eljay’s favorite place on Earth. It may end up in Japan or Spain - the cultures of these countries influenced Eldzhey's early work. This could also turn out to be a vacation spot where the rapper secretly went with his now wife Nastya Ivleeva.

Although, some fans joke that this is just the address of his Moscow apartment, so that the artist does not forget where he lives.

MORGENSHTERN


The number 666 scares the superstitious, but rapper Morgenshtern is not one of them. He had a rather large image of the “number of the beast” tattooed right above his eyebrow.

As it turned out, the musician did not put any sacred meanings into this drawing. He just knew that with such a tattoo he would definitely not be hired for an office job. A trip to a tattoo parlor became a point of no return in choosing a life path. No jackets or conferences. Only creativity. There is no turning back. Soon the artist liked wearing rusunkas on his face so much that he added a note and a mace to the collection.


Rapper Face (real name Ivan Dremin) got tattoos on his face at the moment when he realized: Face is no longer just a pseudonym. This is a symbol of the fact that he has become the “face of the younger generation.”

Ivan gained widespread fame in 2017, when his album No Love was downloaded by 7.9 million people. In the spring of the same year, the inscription Numb appeared above the rapper’s eyebrow. The word is translated from English as “numb,” “numb,” or “helpless,” which is how Dremin remembers his state during his school years. In addition, there is a reference to the cult song of Linkin Park.

The rapper stamped two more inscriptions on his face under his right (HATE) and left (LOVE) eyes. As the performer himself admitted, with this he wanted to convey the idea that love and hatred are the main feelings that live in a person, and through the prism of which we all look at the world.

LIGALIES


The pyramid on Legalize’s chin is the very first of Andrei Menshikov’s many tattoos. It, according to the rapper, does not carry any occult meanings. At the beginning of his career, Liga did it to shock and surprise.

But over time, journalists increasingly asked the musician obsessive questions about the secret meaning of the drawing. Therefore, the League had to come up with a legend that the pyramid looked like the letter L, with which his nickname began.

In 2018, on the eve of the release of the album “The Young King,” Andrei posted on Instagram a photo of a fresh tattoo - a crown on his forehead.

In Roman Super's documentary dedicated to , Liga appeared with thick stubble, which makes it quite difficult to see that same triangle. The crown hid behind a cap pulled down over his forehead. Have you matured?

SCROOGE

Scrooge (Eduard Vygranovsky) has been thinking about going to a tattoo parlor for two years, because his loved ones, as the artist himself admitted, do not really approve of tattoos.

Now, above the rapper’s right eyebrow is the word Edy, an abbreviation of the name Eduard. And above the left is the inscription NOT GUILTY, translated from English as “innocent”.

In addition to the inscriptions, Scrooge also has graphic images on his face, numbers on his ears and an extension of the tattoo he got on his neck.
