What rapper in today's age do you see without a tattoo? Its almost a standard now for rappers to have some sort of tattoo. As hip-hop evolved over the past years, so has the culture. Now artists expresses themselves not only through their lyrics but through their clothes, fashion and physical appearance, specifically tattoos.

Tattoos have been in hip-hop history for a solid decade, slowly growing in popularity to a point when one is surprised when a rapper doesn't have some sort of tattoo on them. Now as the upsurge of tattoos have grown, a new trend is starting to develop, full body tattoos. No body part is off limits now; the face, the head, none. Now artist are covering their whole body up with tattoos and leaving little skin to show. So XXL puts a spotlight on 12 rappers with full body tattoos
