Aside from his prolific dreds, Lil Wayne is known for his high number of tattoos. Year after year, Lil Wayne has added more and more tattoos over his body. Lil Wayne has even mentioned his tattoos on some of his songs.

However, Lil Wayne has never directly discussed his tattoos before, until now. Speaking on people with several tattoos, Lil Wayne feels there is no problem with it. But, he thinks people need a reason to get so many tattoos.

Lil Wayne said he got his first tattoo at fourteen years old in honor of his deceased father. With his father gone, Lil Wayne wanted to represent him and he knew his mother would allow a tattoo, if it was honoring his father.

From there, Lil Wayne got a tattoo, saying "Original Hot Boy," in honor of his group. Finally, Lil Wayne got a tattoo across his stomach because he wanted to be like Tupac Shakur. Lil Wayne said he even told the tattoo artist he was getting the stomach tattoo to be like Tupac.
