Offset Honors Takeoff With Full Back Tattoo
Offset is paying tribute to his cousin Takeoff with a prominent tattoo of the late rapper on his back.
The tattoo is an artistic representation of a photo of Takeoff, Offset’s family member and Migos bandmate who died on Nov. 1 of gunshot wounds in Houston.
Takeoff showed off the new ink in a pair of Instagram photos on Saturday (April 15).
“Love you 4L & after,” Offset captioned the post.
After the 28-year-old’s untimely death, Offset wrote on Instagram, “The pain you have left me with is unbearable. My heart is shattered and I have so many things to say, but I can’t find the words. I’ve been going to sleep and waking up hoping that all of this is a dream, but it’s reality and reality feels like a nightmare.”
He lovingly referred to his cousin as “Take.”
Last month, Offset previewed a new song featuring a posthumous Takeoff verse on Instagram Stories.
The 56-second snippet had Icewear Vezzo and Takeoff exchanging bars before Offset burst through with fiery lines of his own.
