Welcome to the world of musicians who push boundaries with their daring piercings and tattoos. These artists thrive on shocking the public and throughout the years, we've seen some of the biggest names in pop and rock take it to the extreme.
Some may say it's all for publicity, but these musicians don't hold back when it comes to turning their madness onto themselves. From terrifying tattoos to painful piercings and even smashing glass bottles on their heads, this list has it all. And we're not just talking about a rapper getting a multi-million dollar diamond inserted into their forehead – there's even more shocking moments to come.
We've got punk rockers from the 1980s, rap stars who have transitioned into rock stars in the 2010s, and some of the biggest names in hip hop and R&B today. And let me assure you, everything on this list is 100% real. No rumors or urban myths here, folks. So buckle up and prepare yourselves for what's to come.
First up, we have Lil Uzi Vert. This 30-year-old rapper, whose real name is Symere Woods, has been making waves in the music industry since the mid-2010s with hit singles like "XO Tour Llif3" and collaborations with other big names in the industry. They've never been one to shy away from modifying their appearance, with numerous tattoos all over their body and face. But in 2021, Lil Uzi Vert took it to the next level by embedding a 10-carat pink diamond into their forehead. Talk about a daring move, but it seems like it was worth it for the rapper.
Next, we have Dave Draiman, the frontman and lead songwriter of 1990s American alternative metal band Disturbed. Known for their chart-topping cover of "The Sound of Silence," Dave is not one to shy away from making a statement. In 2018, he made the bold decision to get two massive chin piercings, which he later admitted made him feel a bit "weird" at the age of 45.
Cardi B, the 32-year-old rapper and singing sensation, also knows a thing or two about making a statement. In 2020, she shared a video of herself getting neck and chest piercings, screaming in pain as her husband Offset held her hand. Unfortunately, her body rejected the piercings a few months later, but she's never been one to shy away from trying new things.
Chris Brown's "sugar skull" tattoo on his neck sparked quite a bit of controversy when he first unveiled it in 2012. Many people immediately made comparisons to the image of Rihanna's face after he assaulted her in 2009. But Chris and his team have denied any connection, stating that it was simply a sugar skull design inspired by the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead. Despite the denials, the tattoo continues to be a topic of discussion and speculation.
GG Allin, born Jesus Christ Allin, was known for his shocking on-stage antics in the 1980s. From deliberately cutting his scalp with glass to defecating on-stage, he was not one to hold back. Unfortunately, his life was cut short at the age of 36 after a drug overdose, leaving behind a legacy of shocking performances and extreme behavior.
In 2021, independent Mexican rapper Dan Sur made headlines when he surgically implanted metal hooks into his scalp to hang gold chains off his head. He became known as "the first rapper to have gold hair implanted in human history" and gained a massive following on social media. And believe it or not, he's kept the gold chain hair for three years now.
And last but not least, we have Machine Gun Kelly. In February 2024, the musician shocked his fans by unveiling a "blackout" body tattoo that covered his arms, shoulders, and chest. While he already had several tattoos, this one was on a whole new level. The rapper-turned-singer explained that it was for spiritual purposes and has even added more ink to it in the last 10 months.
These musicians have certainly taken their love for piercings and tattoos to the extreme, and we can't help but admire their boldness and willingness to push boundaries. Who knows what they'll come up with next? Stay tuned.
