As Marley posted, he got this tattoo to celebrate his release from the mental hospital where he had been involuntarily confined.
Maybe the Southern thing is what puts it over the top for you, but for me, it’s because he’s repetitive, unskilled, a bad rhymer, and his delivery sounds like his tongue is wrapped in cotton.
The Good Humor man is a little too committed to his career, I see.
This is never a good idea.

Is that an ice cream cone being struck by lightning? Wtf is that?
Nobody’s commented on the “brrr” written on the ice cream cone. To express how ice cream is cold.
It’s symbolism people.
To be fair, the murder charge was apparently dropped, for insufficient evidence. He recently did a court-ordered stint in a mental health facility in connection iwth a proceeding to revoke his probation on a different charge.
What gets me is that his real name is “Radric.” That’s already a pretty cool damn name to carry around – why would you start calling yourself “Gucci”?
I figure its real purpose is showing he’s not competent to stand trial the next time he finds himself in court.
According to the Urban Daily website (which means I had the iniside skinny on this days ago), after requesting the initial ice cream design, he asked the artist for something “a little rock and roll,” to which it was said, “There’s nothing more rock-and-roll than a lightning bolt.”
Yellow bolts are lightning, red are radio waves.
He’s clearly signaling that we are ripe for invasion and conquest.
Yeah, that only upped the street cred. That means some snitches probably got dealt with before they could testify. Snitches get stitches, Tom!!
I remember as an angsty teen I would doodle a picture of an eye crying a tear on an ice cream cone. It was an homage to Pretenders’ “Mystery Achievement”. Not really relevant to the topic but it occurs to me that Mr. Mane is actually lamer than a thirteen year old girl.
To his credit, the top scoop was actually the head of a penis he wanted tattooed on his cheek, but changed his mind, so they added two more penis heads, a cone, and voila!
Ice cream cone.
Now he is a triple dip shit.
Because nothing is better than getting a facial tattoo if you’re planning on a life of crime.
“Mr Smith, we’d like to ask you a few questions about your attacker. Did he have any identifying characteristics?”
“Now that you mention it, he had a tattoo of an ice cream cone on his face and…”
“No, that’s all we need. Joe, go arrest Gucci.”
I don’t get it. I’m fairly certain the tattooists I’ve worked with would not have done that to anyone. They would have told him to go fly a kite with that idea and to leave the shop. Not only is he an idiot, the guy (shop) who did that to him should have his (it’s) license revoked. Are there really tattoo artists who would put that in their book? It’s not really a good tattoo anyway. Maybe it was done by a fellow inmate, cuz, you know, prison tatts are cooler.
According to the Washington Post, the photo linked by the OP was tweeted by the tattoo artist, from a shop in Atlanta.
Gucci Mane and tattooist Shane Willoughby.
Willoughby says Mane was sober and was quite certain about what he wanted. Willoughby tried to convince him to get the tattoo somewhere else but Mane wanted it on his face.
Well, it’s not like it’s even his first facial tattoo, so meh.
As if there’s any place on the body that would be better for an ice cream cone tattoo.
My dad had the name of some girl tattooed on his arm.
Naturally, they broke up, and he had to get an overlay tattoo to change the letters into something else. (He was able to get it changed into a dragonfly.)
I wonder if the ice cream cone was the best this guy could do with a name that had a couple O’s. 
Is that an ice cream cone necklace? What is up with this dude and ice cream? Is that his thing? Is this something I would know if I listened to his music?
