Post Malone Tattoos — Each reflects the artist's Journey, Interests, and Passions 

Daughter’s Initials 

No one can love a girl like her father loves her. Malone paid tribute to his baby daughter by getting her initials, DDP, tattooed on the right side of his forehead. The tattoo becomes even more meaningful because the White Iverson singer described it as a way to keep his daughter with him while he is on tour. 

“It's really tough not being able to see her, but she's coming out more often now,” Malone told GQ in 2022. “I'm just happy to see her but it's heartbreaking having to leave and not be able to be with her all the time,” he added.

“A little love goes farther than you think. Stay strong, and keep kicking a**,” he added.

Malone got Always Tired tattooed in cursive under both his eyes in 2018.

“We were working on Stoney, and then we had a tattoo artist come through, and I was like, ‘You know what? Justin Bieber’s got some tats, and I love you, but I know I'm way tougher than you,’' he said back then, adding that he's not sure why he chose a bunny to be his first body art. 

Other tattoos that decorate Post Malone’s body are portraits of Johnny Cash, Kurt Cobain, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Dimebag Darrell, John Lennon, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and George Harrison as well as John F. Kennedy.
