Okay, I know the issue of whether tattoos are good or bad has been debated here before. But rapper Gucci Mane got a new [tattoo](http://www.celebs.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/gucci_mane_tattoo_1.jpg) this week and I think we can all agree this was not a good idea. ---

Nothing says “sanity” like “facial tattoo”. ---

Hahahahahahahahaha! “I have street cred now! Don’t you see my facial tattoo?” That one will serve him well in prison/on the street corner! (BTW, I’m old: Am I supposed to have heard of this guy?) ---

That’s not, strictly speaking, a tattoo, it’s scarification. Nonetheless, that is beyond tacky. ---

Looks like every new tattoo I’ve seen - the skin swells up for a few days after it’s done. Re: the tattoo itself - I reserve the word “retarded” for only those actions that show clear evidence of either permanent or temporary impairment of one’s mental faculties. Having said that. . . Dude, that’s retarded. ---

> [@MoodIndigo1](#): > > That’s not, strictly speaking, a tattoo, it’s scarification. Nonetheless, that is beyond tacky. No it’s not. Scarification isn’t white, blue, and black. It’s just a tattoo. An idiotic tattoo, but clearly he’s not the most intelligent man around. (Is he supposed to be someone famous?) ---

My roommate just saw that over my shoulder and busted out laughing. He looks ridiculous and now I have “Ice Cream Paint Job” stuck in my head. ---

> [@Eyebrows\_0f\_Doom](#): > > (Is he supposed to be someone famous?) He’s a rapper that I wouldn’t really expect someone to have heard of if they don’t listen to that type of music. I’ve heard him featured in other people’s songs, but I didn’t know what he looked like. Boy was I missing out. ---

If Willy Wonka ever perfects tasteable tattoo ink, this guy is going to get all the chicks. Until then he has one of the dumbest tattoos ever. Thing is, this might not even be his worst tattoo. It looks like he has the EA Sports logo on his throat. ---

Oh, is _that_ who he is. A friend who teaches in a city middle school had a pic on Facebook and, seriously, I was afraid to ask if he was one of her students or what. ---

He did it in advance of changing his rap name to “Tutti Fruitti”. ---

Among all kind of other ‘street cred’ incidents, he has already been charged with murder. I think he is insane. Seriously. Furthermore, I think he is one of the worst rappers ever, but my opinion is biased because I hate southern rap, overall. ---

[Based on this picture, all of that stuff is pretty new.](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Gucci_Mane_performing_at_the_Williamsburg_Waterfront_3.jpg) He’s like a bad tattoos website unto himself.
