The 5 Worst Tattoos In Rap

3. Coolio's Insane Clown Posse Adulation
Coolio apparently likes Insane Clown Posse almost as much as Drake likes Aaliyah. One has to wonder if it's because ICP sells more records than he does these days and he wants to be the third member. Or maybe it's just that they gave him a gig at the Gathering of the Juggalos, presumably Coolio's first paying rap gig since 1998.

Either way, he'll never get into ICP with this tattoo. He got the hatchet man right, although it looks like they branded him with it rather than tattooing it on him. But under it he had "Jugalo Cool" written on it. Notice anything wrong with that? He misspelled the world "juggalo!"

2. Gucci Mane's Ice Cream Cone That Shoots Lightning Bolts
Really all I need to put here is that phrase again: "Ice cream cone that shoots lightning bolts." I mean, who would even come up with such a thing? Gucci Mane though had the balls to tattoo it across his entire face. There's something admirable about that.

Even more telling about it, however, is the fact that he got the tattoo just after his release from a mental institution following yet another run-in with the law, where he allegedly ignored a cop who was talking to him about previous crimes he had committed in the day and proceeded to punch another man in the face in front of the cop. In that context, the tattoo almost seems sane.

You're right about Chris Brown being the worst person in the world, but he's not a rapper. And jeez, Nas' coverup is truly horrible.
