- “Tommy G” on her left wrist – it’s a red wrist tattoo for her ex-boyfriend Tommy Geez
- Flower Piece on back- it is indeed her biggest tattoo. And it flows down her left side from the back and ribs, down past her butt, and to the back of her thigh. Tattoo artist utilized here colored flowers, some classic designs, including magnolias, peonies, and lilies.
RIGHT SIDE:
- “Belkis” on her right wrist- ink in cursive letters. It is an abbreviated version of Cardi’s real name, Belcalis.
- “Loyalty Over Royalty” on her right bicep – Cardi B hasn’t provided an explanation for this one. But we can guess it, right? But one can assume that the artist values the loyalty of, for example, her friends especially now that she has reached the top.
- peacock on her hip- it’s on her right side which stretches from her waist all the way down to her thigh. Cardi actually got this tattoo 10 years ago but had it touched up. This ink represents a perfect combination of her top style and love for bold colors.
- I Love You hand sign behind her right ear-the meaning behind that cute lil red star is unclear and this hand says “I love you” in American Sign Language.
- “Offset” on left leg- it’s the name of her husband in black cursive. Offset (Kiari Kendrell Cephus) is also an American rapper. She located this ink just below the floral piece on the hamstring part of the leg.
