Fans have been getting tattoos inspired by their favorite musicians for a long time. From getting song lyrics to quotes and even huge portraits of their idols all over their bodies, music fans have made their love for their favorite singers permanent with a tattoo.
One celebrity in particular who has inspired a wave of fan ink is Cardi B. Since the rapper released her hit song "Bodak Yellow" in 2017, her fans have been running to their nearest tattoo shops and getting her lyrics, photos of her, and her catchphrases (Okurrr!) tattooed all over their bodies. Her inspiring lyrics about success and empowerment are inked all over her fans, and pictures of her face can be spotted on people's legs, hands, and everywhere else.

Cardi's realness and quick rise to the top has inspired millions of people, and through her music she has also gained so many fans who follow her every move. She has become an idol for people who have faced adversity and continue to push through no matter what others say. That's probably why so many people proudly post pictures on social media of their latest ink paying homage to their Queen Cardi. The best part is that so many of them have gotten shout-outs from the "I Like It" rapper herself.
She often shares photos of the tattoos her fans have gotten of her, and she has said they're an inspiration for her to push forward and work harder. Imagine the pressure that comes with knowing so many people out there have you tattooed on their bodies! Now you have to make sure they don't regret it. But we're sure these fans love her so much that nothing she does can deter them from loving her. After all, nothing says commitment and forever as much as a tattoo, right? Take a look at these insane tattoos Cardi's fans have gotten to pay tribute to their favorite star.
Even her social media moments inspire tattoos.
Cardi's music videos have inspired plenty of tattoos, but even her most viral moments on social media have been permanently inked in some of her fans' bodies, including a rant about a public health crisis that she shared in March 2010. "Now who the heeiiiiiillllllll tatted my face while I’m saying Karonaaavaaairuusss ❤️," she captioned the funny tattoo of herself with her mouth open.
This tattoo nailed Cardi's iconic side eye.
Cardi's reactions to the tattoos are almost just as exciting as the ink itself. She shared this photo of a fan's tattoo, which was of Cardi wearing the cutest pigtails and sunglasses in March 2020, and she captioned it: "FanTatt ❤️❤️❤️I love it ..I hope this tatt is on a a– cheek ❤️ #Bardigang."
Her fans want to remember her biggest moments.
Someone captured one of Cardi's biggest nights ever on their body in the form of a tattoo. A fan took inspiration from Cardi's 2018 Grammys beauty look and paid homage to the night the rapper became a Grammy winner! "WOW ❤️❤️❤️I feel honored and loved ❤️," she captioned the post in March 2020.
Cardi was super impressed by this fan's tattoo.
"Wow Lets link !" Cardi captioned this pic. "Free cardi tickets for life .You even invites to my family events." The detail in this tat is insane, and the colors really make it pop.
This level of commitment gets you free Cardi tickets.
This image was inspired by Cardi's music video for her song "Press," and it came out so on point. She captioned the post, ":’)The love is real❤️❤️….You get free cardi tickets forever and a supporting friend ❤️Love my fans! Ya really give me strength."
This tattoo is really special.
It's inspired by one of Cardi's red carpet looks, but if you look closely, the earrings are made of tiny bottles of Bacardi. "I can’t believe it ! Soooo amazing.The love is real !!!" she captioned the post.
Even her quotes will live on forever.
Cardi's impact on her fans is immeasurable. Usually people use quotes from their favorite authors or poets, but now Cardi can be added to the list of people whose words will live on people's bodies forever.
This is so special.
Tattoo artist Galo Balseca has been slaying his Cardi B-inspired tats. He inked this fan with an image of the rapper surrounded by her album title and the name of her songs. What an homage!
Cardi's songs are a huge inspiration behind her fans' ink.
What better way to pay tribute to your favorite musicians than by inking their hit songs on yourself? This is also one of Cardi's nicknames and the crown is a cool touch to represent that she is a queen.
Cardi inspired a ton of Louboutins tattoos.
This one was used to cover up an old tattoo a fan had on herself. Cardi talks about the iconic designer Loubutin shoes in her hit song "Bodak Yellow" and now fans are associating the famous red-soled shoes with the rapper.
This fan used some of Cardi's lyrics for inspiration.
She tattooed the lyrics "Bloody moves" from "Bodak Yellow" on her two ankles! That's commitment and affection right there. One BOLD word on each ankle. That's a die-hard fan right there.
That same fan also got a pair of red-soled Louboutins tattooed on herself.
While Cardi has no ties to designer Christian Louboutin and his shoes, she has sure given them a lot of exposure. Now this woman is a walking advertisement of the luxury shoe brand.
One fan had a portrait of the rapper inked on the side of his abdomen.
The tat was so beautiful, Cardi shared it herself on Instagram and captioned it: "Omgggg ❤️ I can’t never give up. Whoever this is I love you." It's definitely a gorgeous rendition of the rapper.
One fan got a shout-out from Cardi after getting the 'Get Up 10' lyrics tattooed on herself.
"Wow !!!THIS IS AMAZING ❤️❤️ I feel poppin from and inspired to keep creating and working. BUT I GET UP TEN B-TCH!! ," Cardi captioned the Instagram post. The love her fans give her keeps her motivated.
The 'Get Up 10' track seems to be a fan favorite.
The song has provided some inspiration for fans to keep going even when the going gets rough. Cardi shared this pic of a fan's tattoo and captioned it: " WE GONE WIN KNOCK ME DOWN 9 TIMES !! Love my fans❤️."
This fan will have Cardi by his side for the rest of his days.
This fan had Cardi's entire face tattooed on his shoulder. Cardi also shared this and she captioned it: "Oooooommmmmgggg i looooveeeeee this. Thanks for the love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ."
This one is so cool.
The Cardi from the "Finesse" video is immortalized on this fan's arm. "❤️❤️❤️❤️Drippin in finess ❤️❤️❤️LOVE IT. Makes me feel real special ❤️FAN ART Hope to meet you one day," Cardi wrote when she shared it on Instagram.
This fan is all about her business and her money moves.
One fan mixed boss lady Charlotte Pickles from the cartoon show Rugrats with Cardi's "Bodak Yellow" lyrics, and the rapper loved it. Imagine how excited a fan who was inspired to get a Cardi tattoo gets when Cardi approves?
This fan had Cardi's album cover tattooed on herself.
The colorful tattoo is based on Cardi's album cover for Invasion of Privacy, and it's beautiful. An artist's debut album is a pretty huge deal, especially when it's as big of a hit as Cardi's was.
This tattoo came out amazing!
Everything from her hair to her lips looks so spot on. We love that so much of Cardi's personality and her style is captured in these tattoos, down to the type of sunglasses she uses.
This one is adorable.
This fan got a Cardi-inspired Powerpuff Girls tattoo. How cute is this? Cardi's husband, Offset, has a similar tattoo like this one of himself in honor of his wife.
Cardi has fans focused on their money.
This fan will only have to look down at their arm for inspiration when it comes to getting money. The thing is that Cardi works hard for her money, so the inspiration isn't just about getting that money, it's about staying motivated and working hard to get that money.
This tattoo is massive!!
This fan got Cardi's album cover tattooed on her thigh, and it looks amazing. The colors are bright and the outline around Cardi's head and face makes it pop. That's a lot of body real estate to give to Cardi.
A fan really wanted to have Cardi with her tongue out tattooed on herself.
Listen, we don't judge, but this is pretty wild. It's big and bold kind of like Cardi's attitude. If you're going to go with an image like this, you may as well go big and bold.
Some fans are using Cardi to cover up their old tattoos.
Have your ex's name tattooed on yourself? No worries, just get a huge tattoo of Cardi's face to cover it right up like this fan did! You can't even tell where the name used to be.
This fan's love for Cardi runs deep.
Cardi's face will forever be on display on this fan's right hand. OK, it's not a real hand, but this tattoo artist is willing to put it wherever you want. Or you could just get a glove with a picture of Cardi on it.
This fan had the whole top of her arm covered with a tat of Cardi.
She quoted her lyrics from her verse on "MotorSport" along with a gorgeous portrait of the rapper on her left shoulder. How many sessions do you think it took to get this done? It looks like a lot of work.
This fan quoted the song 'I do,' poor grammar and all.
For the sake of accuracy, this fan will be walking around with a grammatical error on herself forever. Pure dedication. You can't go around correcting Cardi, though. She expresses herself perfectly.
Cardi's impact is truly bigger than life.
We wonder how many fans around the world have tattooed her album cover on themselves. Could Cardi ever have imagined that she would get to a place where bodies all over the world are covered in images of her?
Some fans are even tattooing Cardi's catchphrases on themselves.
This inner lip tattoo is easily hidden, and only people you show it to will know it's there. It's an interesting choice to go with a tattoo in that spot. It looks like an uncomfortable spot to have work done.
A tattoo artist created a 'Family Guy'-inspired Cardi tat.
He also added the famous "Okurrrr" to the bottom. Cardi and "okurrr" will forever be linked together even though Cardi wasn't actually the first to ever say it. It's just that she says it so dang well.
Here's another 'Finesse'-inspired tattoo.
We love the bright colors in this one. Cardi's lip doing that thing that Cardi's lip does is perfect. The backwards bright green baseball cap and purple color around makes this tattoo really come at ya.
This fan chose a simple rose with her name.
"I finally got my idol @iamcardib name tatted!" this fan wrote on Instagram. How sweet! It must be incredible to know that the music you create means so much to your fans that some of them want to have your name on them at all times.
This portrait of Cardi is so spot on.
It came out so beautiful. The colors, the likeness, all of it. It takes major skills to be able to create a tattoo like this. Just look at all the highlights. It's amazing.
Some fans weren't too fond of this Cardi tat.
Even though some people criticized the tattoo artist for how dark his shading was, he got a stamp of approval from Cardi herself when she liked the Instagram post. It's definitely dark, but maybe that's what the person who got the tattoo wanted.
Cardi was a big fan of this ink.
"This is soooooo f–king amazing I love you guys soooo much ❤️❤️❤️❤️," she captioned the post. It almost looks like the actual tattoo is feeling exactly what Cardi expressed.
