Post Malone's Tattoos and What They Mean – [2021 Celebrity Ink Guide]
Known as much for his tattoos as for his unique vocals and genre defying blend of hip hop, grunge and country music, producer singer, and rapper Post Malone has inspired a new generation to embrace bold, innovative ink and tattoo placement.
Despite the growing acceptance of tattoos, ink on the face is still considered extreme, although even this is changing rapidly thanks to notable musicians such as Post Malone and Justin Bieber.
It’s been widely reportedly that it was Bieber who set the tattoo blaze alight for Post Malone by telling him in 2016 that tattoos didn’t hurt. Since then, he’s from a first tattoo, to getting inked more often than kids get temporary tattoos from the convenience store.
With well over sixty tattoos –from the classic skull tattoo through to circles, and body art paying homage to civilizations such as Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt– Post Malone is in the middle of a full-blown ink explosion.
Read on to take a look at some of Post Malone‘s most prominent and exciting tattoos.

Medieval Gauntlet and Morningstar
You don’t often see featured face tattoos , even amongst celebrity rappers. The medieval gauntlet and morningstar Post added towards the end of 2019 is certainly eye catching, even in comparison to his other facial tattoos and neck ink.
The gauntlet shoots down the right side of his face near his previously drawn Claymore bastard sword, while the Morningstar – a wicked spiked mace swung like an Olympic hammer by a knight on horseback in battle – snakes along his jawline. The whole piece is done in bold, traditional style featuring heavy use of black line ink, and was inked by artist Kyle Hediger.
