Lloyd’s New Head Tattoo Is Pretty….So, Does That Make It Okay?

Who’s more confused than Lloyd‘s scalp? Nobody.
Within the past 8 months, Lloyd’s scalp has flown free with long frizzy fabio curls. It has been bound and stretched with tiny braids. It has been trimmed down to a cushy carpet. And now…it’s been partially shaved down and injected with ink. Lots of it!
In promotion of his new King of Hearts album (iTunes link), Lloyd tattooed and enormous guns and roses motif on his head down in New Orleans. To be fair…in comparison to most of the head and face tattoos that we’ve seen in hip hop circles, Lloyd’s is actually not that horrible.
But are we getting to the point where above the neck tattoos will actual get mainstream? I used to think neck tatts were extreme, but now…not so much. Every barista at the local espresso bar has one. (male and female) Maybe soon, a face tatt will no longer represent: ‘hello, I am either an ax murderers, boardwalk entertainer, or a runway fashion model.’
UPDATE: Miguel tweeted “Imitation is the Highest form of Flattery. Shout to LLoyd.” rawr! cat scratch!

Yeah well Miguel hasn’t taken to kindly to the cut. He tweeted:
Imitation is the Highest form of Flattery. Shout to LLoyd.

Shouldn’t Miguel worry about not busting his ass on stage (for the 4th or 5th time) and singing on key

He’s more like a rebellious Sammy Davis Jr. Can’t believe Miguel said that though. That’s like Big Daddy Kane saying somebody took his style, it’s just hair. Lloyd isn’t falling off the stage and doesn’t have mannerism where we question if he’s “how you doing?” They both have an upcoming show together, this should be interesting “see him in the streets” r & beef lol.

Tatoo or not, biter or not, Lloyd has never been and never will be played in my car. Miguel on the other hand, that’s a different story.
