So far the year 2011 has brought on various trends including the re-emergence of tattoos in strange places. In addition to the electric triple-scoop of soft serve Gucci Mane got tattooed on his cheek, Yung LA’s immediately regrettable Duct Tape Entertainment tattoo, Diamond’s sideburn bullet and Rick Ross’ Cazal logo, R&B singer Lloyd has inked a mini mural of guns and roses that covers the back and sides of his head. Lloyd revealed his ink on BET’s “106 & Park” with co-host Rocsi Diaz who has previously enlisted the services of Lloyd’s tattoo artist.

“I’m a walking contrast…you know, I go from hard to soft,” Lloyd explained. “I go from guns to roses, which is in my tatt. I like to go from the streets to the sheets. I make street savvy R&B music, but I also like to slow it down and be sensual at times. When you listen to ‘King of Hearts,’ you get a lot of the contrast, which is me. At times it’s very aggressive, like how I opened the album with ‘Dedication To My Ex,’  which says the P-word 52 times. But the very next song is ‘Cupid,’  which slows it back down.”
