He is a certified mama’s boy!
Drake debuted his new face tattoo on Thursday night as he revealed the very special meaning behind it.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper decided to honor his mother, Sandi Graham, with his latest ink job, while proudly sharing the new tattoo with his 119 million Instagram followers.
Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Graham, revealed that he had his mother’s initials tattooed under his left eye in small, stylized black letters.
“Sandra Gale,” he wrote next to an image carousel.
The 35-year-old hitmaker “God’s Plan” has a very close relationship with his mother. He often credits her for being very supportive of his music career when he started.
The tattoo artist, who goes by the name Nal, shared a clip of Drake lying with his eyes closed while his mother’s initials were inked on his face.
It seems like Drake’s love of tattoos has been passed down from his father, Dennis Graham, who showed off his huge new tattoo of his famous son’s face that he got five years ago.
Couldn’t contain his reaction, the rapper wrote: “Just sat here thinking why you’re doing me this way, we family,” he captioned a close-up of the questionable arm ink, tagged his dad and added a few laughing emojis for good measure.
Taking no offense, his dad said, “I love you and miss you” and shared, “Hahaha I had 16 people try to make this right, they’re hurting me,” with some laughing emojis of his own.
