Just like most rappers, YG’s body is also covered in many splendid tattoos. Let us take you through the ones he has and his reason behind getting them.

1. ‘YG and Quote’ Tattoos

Tattoo: The front part of YG’s neck contains the word, “YG” tattooed on it. The background of the YG contains a scene of guns firing along with a spiderweb and a little spider just below his chin. The front side of his right shoulder contains the word, “thank” and similarly his left shoulder contains the word, “GOD” tattooed on it.

Meaning: YG is the name that he gave to himself when he became a rapper. When talking about the spider, YG talked about it showing a different side of him, and his wickedness. His idea was to get a tattoo that would bring together his personality so the web holds together the spider, guns and the buildings on his neck along with his name, YG. YG is very religious and is a follower of Christianity. The words together make the sentence, “Thank God” as he feels blessed and credits the almighty for his success.

2. ‘Virgin Mary’ Tattoo

Tattoo: The top of his head contains a tattoo of the Virgin Mary along with a pattern of the cross and flowers behind her head. The words, “NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER” are tattooed just above this tattoo. The whole tattoo is completed by clouds done in the background.
