Lil Yachty was trending online after a Twitter user used him in an example with a tweet that read, "Rappers spend so much money on jewelry but never on a good tattoo artist." 

Yachty later responded to people roasting his ink, with some saying that he should've requested a refund, and he shared a video of Adrien Broner stating that he was "getting cooked." In a since-deleted tweet, which was obtained by No Jumper, Lil Yachty later admitted, "Yea my tats suck hahahaha." 

Back in 2018, Lil Yachty spoke to GQ about tattoos, revealing that he "hates" tattoos because of the pain. In the same interview, he revealed that he scammed a tattoo shop for a $500 coupon for his first tattoo, which is why he got so many in one sitting.
