Kendrick Lamar seems like the type person who would research tattoo artists to perfectly execute his ideas. Many celebrities, or people with too much money altogether, generally don’t conduct that much research when they’re thinking getting new tattoos, leaving the session with some pretty terrible work. Kendrick did not go to a scratcher though. When he decided to get his “Hustle Like You Broke” tat covered up, he decided on Brazilian artist Davi Escobar to do the job, showing f the realistic result on his social media pages. As noted by HHNM, the existing art on his forearm contained a money bag and the aforementioned phrase. The new work is nearly indescribable but it is beautiful and extremely well-done. In total, it took sixteen hours to complete the cover-up.
