The glittering jewel of the Lil Rappers’ constellation of physical adornments is back! Lil Uzi Vert has put his $24 million pink diamond back into his forehead meat. He must have known it was unsafe leaving that enormous pink diamond just laying around while Jennifer Lopez is in consort with Ben Affleck and decided it was better to keep in on his person at all times. And what’s the point in bringing back your truly, truly, truly outrageous jem without a new tattoo to go with it? Can’t do the forehead though, that’s taken, better do the tongue.
According to Uproxx, Lil Uzi got a tattoo on his tongue which appears to “depict an inverted cross” like the one found on a bottle of Jay Z’s D’usse brand cognac. And as a nod to his “fascination with religious cults.” We know JLo’s got her eye on his Big Pink (easier for her than for him TBH), so please lord let’s not let her get any more ideas or her tongue’s say BEN4LIFE by next week.
Here’s Lil Uzi showing off both his bling and his thing:

Excuse me but eew. It looks like a fleshy football. Shit gets even grosser when you read about the process. via tattoodo.com:
While tongue tattoos can look super cool, they can also potentially impair your sense of taste by causing damage to the taste buds.
Wondering how long your tongue tattoo will last? Depending on the artist and your body’s personal chemistry, a tongue tattoo can last anywhere from a few weeks to a few years.
Instead of using an electric tattoo machine, the artist will apply the design to the tongue through a series of pigment injections. While holding the tongue in a clamp, the artist will place ink directly into the capillaries within your tongue, allowing the ink to immediately disperse and saturate the surrounding tissue.
Because your tongue is covered by thick layers of epithelial tissue, traditional electric tattoo machines cannot be used to create your design. When a traditional machine is used on a tongue tattoo, the ink disappears almost immediately, thanks to the epithelial tissue’s incredible ability to protect the tongue from injury and wear.
Here’s a more recent picture of Lil Uzi’s stitched-up mouth bologna looking faded already. And I fear JLo may have already absconded with his gem! Either that or it’s pretty easy for him to pop in and out like a real Lil Mr. Potato Head.
