Wiz Khalifa Has 411 Tattoos
The question of how many tattoos Pittsburgh artist has, must have crossed your mind once or twice. You might have even guessed, although that would only complicate things since most of his tattoos overlap. However, it is highly unlikely that you have arrived at the above figure. Before you ask, we didn’t count them because that would undoubtedly be a colossal waste of time. We received this information from the horse’s mouth.
The star admitted, on an episode of Saturday Night Live, hosted by Scarlett Johansson, finally counted 411 different plays. That explains a lot, you can hardly see any clear skin on his body and if there is, there is no doubt in our hearts that he will cover the space with ink, ink and more of ink.

His mother ignited his passion for tattoos
At an age when most kids were hiding secret tattoos, Wiz openly had one. In fact, it had been recommended to her by her mother, Peachie Wimbush. He told BET News: “When I got my first tattoo I was 16. Actually, my mom took me to pick it up. She asked me if I wanted one and I said yes”.
So basically she took her “tattoo virginity”, he13 years later, her skin is almost completely covered in ink; his blank ink work blends into a collage of different images and words that cover his arms, torso, back and legs. There’s no doubt she didn’t see it coming, but we bet he did.

Wiz Khalifa’s tattoos were always part of the plan
Looks like Peachie just lit the flame, the gas was already on. The young Wiz had already planned to cover his body in tattoos. These shots date from before his teenage years. Even though the artist’s body is almost completely covered in tattoos, his plans are still in motion. He plans to continue getting smaller tattoo additions for the rest of his life.
He told Interview magazine: “Even before I got my first tattoo – since I was young – I knew I wanted to be covered. I just traced what I felt and put it on my body to tell my story. Furthermore, he added, “I still leave small spots and spaces for adding items. I want to get tattooed forever. I don’t want to run out of space while I’m young. I really want my tattoos to have meaning.”
We don’t have it, but we can’t judge it, some people have more bizarre life plans and aspirations.
Judging by the amount of body art the artist already has, it would suggest he had no limits. If you were thinking in this direction, you were wrong. Although the artist “likes her a little ink”, most of the time her face remains blank. Hence why it’s the only place not covered in tattoos. Along with a few small tattoos that scream his gang squad Taylor, the artist’s face is no longer inked.
More on the topic of his “face tattoos,” he told BET News, “I wouldn’t want to get a tattoo anywhere that makes me different — under my eyes, on my cheeks, or on my face, just in the middle of my forehead. Anywhere else, that’s right. That’s why we wonder about this “Everywhere else” that he speaks of.

Although there are many, he has a favorite tattoo
Despite the fact that all of his tattoos mean something special and meaningful to him, the most significant of the bunch is a Martin Luther King Jr. quote, which covers his belly. Wiz got the tattoo when he was very young and admitted it made more sense with age. The inspirational piece reads, “The ultimate measure of a man is not his position in times of comfort and convenience, but his position in times of challenge and controversy.”
It just proves that Wiz Khalifa has a depth that can go unnoticed if you try to judge the book by the cover.
