What is Lil Durk’s skull back tattoo? Rapper’s tattoos explored amid his arrest

OTF rapper Lil Durk is recognized as one of the trailblazers in Chicago's drill music subgenre. The rapper, a four-time Grammy nominee, won the award for Best Melodic Rap Performance at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards for his hit single All My Life.

With over 90 songs on the charts, Lil Durk has made it into the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 on three occasions. Beyond his talent for creating chart-toppers, he’s also well-known for his extensive collection of tattoos. At 32, the rapper sports numerous intricate designs, including a large backpiece.

In 2022, Lil Durk got a skull tattoo that spans his entire back, a process that reportedly took eight hours and required the work of eight tattoo artists. The tattoo was designed by @gangatattoo and his team, who shared the experience on Instagram.

“Amazing whole back session in 8 hours for my bro @lildurk with my team @gangatattoola in @nopain.by.ganga. 8 tattoo artists in the same project we broke the record The amazing team @joseecd @yeyo_tattoos@claytattoos @raphaelbarrostattoos @theparsetattoo@johanartss @neil.tattoo,” the celebrity tattoo artist wrote.

Among his other tattoos is a crossed-out rat symbol with the phrase "No snitches allowed," as well as a tribute to his late friend and collaborator, King Von, and his late brother, OTF Dthang, with tattoos reading "RIP DThang" and "RIP King Von."

On the back of his leg, he has a family dedication tattoo that says: "For All Mine I'll Lay Yours"

He also has a tattoo of his fiancée India Royale on his left calf.

Lil Durk was arrested on October 24 on murder-for-hire charges. XXL Magazine reported that the 32-year-old rapper was held without bond in Broward County Jail. 

Recent updates indicate he has been transferred from Broward County Jail to federal custody in California.
