While a lot of rappers had jobs before finding fame, Lil Uzi Vert told Fader that he had a job for four days before getting a face tattoo to force himself into taking music seriously.
He explained, “I had a job for f***ing four days. I couldn’t do it. I’m not normal. I was in there just thinking, Why am I doing this? It was like, If I get this face tattoo, I got to focus. I can’t go in nobody’s office with a suit on with this s*** on my face. I got to focus on what I want to do.”
Since getting his first tattoo, Uzi has gotten several more, including Adinkra symbols from the Asante tribe of West Africa, and a small circular character under his left eye that means "God is King."
