Always Tired
Post Malone is well-known for his tattoos, including those on his face. He has various Tattoos on his skin, such as the words “Always Tired” and smiley faces near his eyes and on each side of his jawline. There is also a sword running down one side of his face. The “Always Tired” tattoo on his arm reflects how busy his life has become since starting his career and is also a way to tease his mother. On his forehead, he has tattoos of blackjack cards, an eagle, the Elder Scrolls logo, and a buzzsaw blade inspired by Megadeth’s album cover art.
Stay Away
One of Post Malone’s most recognizable Tattoos is the “Stay Away” script above his right eyebrow, referencing one of Nirvana’s songs. This tattoo serves as a warning to anyone trying to harm or take advantage of him. The rapper also has a snake tattoo on his palm as a tribute to Kurt Cobain and Nirvana, as he is a big fan of their music. Other facial Tattoos include a Medusa design on his forehead and a sword running down his face, symbolizing medieval culture, strength, and power. He also has other weapon-themed tattoos, such as a gun logo on his shoulder and a demon samurai on his elbow.
Barbed Wire
Barbed wire tattoos, like the ones sported by celebrities such as Post Malone and Dua Lipa, have become popular among millennials. They are often associated with abusive relationships or unrequited love and can be combined with other meaningful imagery, such as skulls or flames, to enhance their gritty symbolism. These Tattoos may also signify being an outsider who disregards rules and regulations, creating an air of insolence. In some cases, they are worn by convicts to represent years spent behind bars.
Sword
Swords are a prominent motif in Post Malone’s tattoo collection. He has the “Mirak Mask” from The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn on his shoulder, representing an armored warrior. Inspired by Megadeth’s album cover, he also has a “centurion-type elbow” design on his right arm. In late 2019, he revealed a new face tattoo on his forehead—an intricate gauntlet holding a flail, which he called a “warrior tattoo.” He also has other Tattoos representing power, authority, courage, strength, and honor, including a snake around a gun, an eagle near his lower neck, and a Gallenson Gun Logo on his right arm.
