During a recent interview, Quavo shared a surprising new detail of his relationship with his late nephew and collaborator, Takeoff. The 32-year-old revealed that as a teenager, he fell into the role of personal tattoo artist for his friend group. He claims that after coming across a “kind of stolen” tattoo gun, his crew brought it to him because they knew he can draw. Quavo says that despite not knowing anything about tattooing, he went for it as a means to make a little bit of cash.
The performer went on to share that he even gave Takeoff his first tattoo. The piece was also the only ink he’d ever gotten before his 2022 passing. It was also the first tattoo Quavo’s ever given anybody. He describes the experience as “bad as hell,” noting how it signifies the trust they had between them.
