Shayaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, aka, 21 Savage, is an American rapper, who comes from the city of Atlanta. He got his stage name from Instagram; he used 21 because it was the name of his gang when he was growing up and Savage just came from the whim. 21 Savage has only been making music from 4 years but has become one of the biggest rappers of Atlanta. Along with his super hit singles and mixtapes, he is a pretty scary dude! He got gold encrusted teeth and tattoos all over his body. His inks are dedicated to his tough childhood and family. Let’s check the meaning behind his inscriptions.

It is actually a tribute to his little brother, Tay Man, who was killed in a drug deal at a very young age. Tay Man initially got the dagger tattoo to represent the gang they were in.
