what's going on in the radar this right or you want the way you looking at it [Music] first tattoo i was honestly i was 16. pretty much you know young you just want to tap for real right here on my wrist just right here you have fear and then god did your parents know about that no my pop seen it yeah it wasn't tripping at the time i was already out the house and stuff so like i always knew my brother was finna get attacked me i wasn't never tripping i was just like yeah if it happened it happen
ed if it don't it don't but i i knew i wasn't gonna go crazy like that my whole body or something like that but all the ones you have which is the most painful i ain't got a lot of temporary pain like right when i get it i mean i i fell asleep on every single one of my attacks but oh actually the first one if i had to pick yeah i forgot to eat my ass almost passed out yes man they hit me in my wrist i'm like hold on but now i was good though this he was like well you ain't eating all day milan y
ou don't know and he's like now you need some food ate some food man i was good chest piece it's a one in the middle but the one pretty much represent me and then got the halo over it it's kind of like my sign in a way but it's like golden child the one is the angel he's got the wings and then it's pretty much heavy so i pretty much resemble myself all my tests do for real i get all my tests by my saying but my boy rock he's been doing all my tests for real so when you've gotten these tattoos di
d you have a plan for what you were gonna get i get a little idea and go there and then i'm you feel me i throw the mellow sauce on it and then it's it's yeah this is my whole arm i got like it's a baby lion looking at me because you feel me i always know i'm gonna be a little young mellow who i was around my family and all them but then the big lion everybody can see that because obviously you see where i am now and then there's 101 above that which also resembles me one of one pretty much just
all add up you know other arm it's my logo mb1 right there with the angel and then right here this is my little apartment crime right here it's like my little twin it's damn near me in angel form but he got a face tet and it's a one and they say rare so rare one you feel me right here sky's the limit it's a little rocket ship and then it's a world where my old logo for my pops the world is mine and i'm pretty much that pretty much the astronaut because i'm out of this world you know not from he
re and sky's the limit you pretty much can do anything you put your mind to and that's all for real is there anyone that inspired you the most with their tattoos myself nah everything comes from my head it's all self-made i feel like if you get attacked it should be you feel me something that resembles you it's gonna be on you forever something that makes sense you know not just going there again do you have any ideas you got a lot of space left over nah for real i'm just only going to get like
little tattoos if anything but to be honest i'm done probably just something little something right here on the wrist just little stuff you know behind nothing none drastic i got what i wanted i said i was gonna get the two half sleeves chest and then one leg and that's what i did usually what i say i'ma do did it it happened
