New York, NY – 50 Cent has always been very vocal and outspoken about certain he sees on a daily basis. Whether it is on his twitter, in his music or during interview, the G-Unit General has been known not to hold his tongue for anyone or any reason. The subject of face tattoos has become a huge craze as of late especially with a handful of artists in Atlanta, two being Gucci Mane and Yung LA.

50 Cent recently spoke with VIBE Magazine as he was the cover story and they inquired about the idea of Hip-Hop artists tattooing images onto their face.

These were his comments:

“That’s the craziest thing. Not necessarily Gucci, but to tattoo your face says that there’s not a possibility that you can actually walk into a legitimate establishment without makeup covering your face every day.”

“That does not work, it creates a separation. It says, ‘I’m an artist.’ That’s it. That’s the statement you make when you go and tattoo your face…But know that the public will not have interest in you as an artist for life. You have to be phenomenal. Talk to the best that do it and they will tell you that it will take more than you being an artist. It takes marketing, maneuvering to generate for that long. When you got 40-year-old rappers in the game, those guys have maneuvered and survived.”

As the craze continues its course, more artists are beginning to appear with face tattoos as a new gimmick. So far, both Gucci  and Yung LA have somewhat paved the way, after Game had done before by covering a once butterfly on his face to now with just the letters ‘LA’ symbolizing essentially that he is the face of L.A.
