Cardi B has declared on social media that she has no regrets about her first face tattoo dedicated to her son.
The 30-year-old Grammy-winning rapper took to Twitter on Thursday (March 2) to share a photo showing off the ink on her face that reads "Wave" - which is her son's name.
According to Daily Mail, the rapper - whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar Cephus - got the red ink that's written in cursive and runs along her jawline, last year.
To profess her love for the tattoo dedicated to the one-year-old boy she shares with her husband Offset, she captioned the post: "I love my face tatt," adding a red heart emoji.
Check out Cardi B's post below:This isn't the first time fans would have seen Cardi's tattoo. The snapshot of the tattoo comes from the 'WAP' rapper and her 31-year-old husband's McDonald's promotional campaign - which she first posted to Instagram on February 14.
In the picture, Cardi looked stunning in a white halter-neck gown with crystal details, and her black hair was pulled into an updo - revealing the cursive ink.
Some fans on the social media platform had a divided reaction to the new body art, with some warning that a face tattoo is never a good idea.
One user said: "[That's] a big big big NO."
Another chimed in: "Cardi say sike rn I’m begging you."
However, others defended her choice, with one person writing: "this the only face [tattoo] in the history of face [tattoos] that I [have] seen that look good."
And a second person added: "I noticed this a while ago and I think it is absolutely beautiful. I have a friend with a face tat of her mother's name that flows in line with her cheekbones. What a Time to be alive."
Nevertheless, the mother of two seems content with her ink no matter what anyone says. Her tattoo post comes after she shared a recent tweet about how doing community service has positively impacted her life.
"Community service has been the best thing that has happened to me. Almost like a spiritual journey because sometimes I leave these centers in tears," she tweeted.
"Those people that we leave behind, they just need somebody to talk, and a lil push and YOU might be able to change their life forever," she added.
The 'I Like It' musician is doing community service because back in September 2022, she took a plea deal in her 2018 strip club brawl case. She pleaded guilty to third-degree assault and second-degree reckless endangerment, both misdemeanors.
Initially, Cardi had been indicted on 12 charges, including two felonies, but as part of the plea deal, the remaining 10 charges have been dismissed and she was sentenced to 15 days of community service.

Cardi B wants to reveal her baby son's name in very unique way.
The rapper, 29, shared on Twitter that she "really" wants to get a tattoo of her 4-month-old son's name on her face.
Cardi and husband Offset welcomed their son in September and have yet to reveal the little one's name to the world.
"Random but ….I'm 1% close too[sic] tatting my sons[sic] name on my face….I really really wanna do it!" wrote Cardi, who also shares three-year-old daughter Kulture Kiari with Offset.
The star then noted in a follow-up tweet that she would want the personalized tattoo "on my jaw."
Earlier this month, Cardi raved about one of her son's major milestones in a series of videos on her Instagram Stories. "I'm not exaggerating, this baby is talking," Cardi said.
"I put this on everything I love." She added that her husband Offset, who is additionally dad to three other children from previous relationships, also witnessed the special moment.
"Yesterday, I was like 'You love Mommy? Yeah?'" the mom of two shared. "Then I asked him again. 'You love Mommy?' And he replied back 'Yeah!'"
She insisted he didn't respond in baby talk but clearly affirmed that he loves her.
She added that he was watching Cocomelon when he said "hello" while singing along with the popular children's show.
"I don't know if that's like the pandemic thing. I don't know if this is normal," Cardi added. "This s--- is crazy. I need a camera in his room 24/7."
She appeared to turn to the child and told him, "You're talking, and you just turned 4 months today. You're talking for real."
It comes as the rapper admitted that she thinks being famous is "boring" in an honest post on Twitter.
The 'WAP' hitmaker - who is one of the world's best-selling music artists - admits that being famous isn't as exciting as people imagine.
The mom-of-two - who shares three-year-old daughter Kulture, and a fourth-month-old son with her husband Offset - candidly wrote: "I'm not even going to lie to y’all, being famous is kinda boring. [sic]"
In fact, Cardi B has always been vocal about her distaste for fame, previously admitting that she was actually much happier before people knew who she was.

Cardi B has taken to Instagram to show off the latest addition to her huge back tattoo.
The 27-year-old rapper has been getting the elaborate piece tattooed onto her body over the past few months, and she has been adding to it during lockdown.
Taking to her Instagram Stories yesterday, Cardi shared herself going under the needle, as the artist added to the green areas of the piece.
Check out Cardi B getting her back tattoo updated in the video below:

The 'Bodak Yellow' singer said it wasn't the most painless experience in the world, writing: "I be taking pain like a motherf***er.'"
The entire piece consists of flowers, butterflies, and a gold trim inspired by Versace, and prior to sharing the most recent part of the tattooing process, Cardi had shown off the piece in a bikini snap.
Keeping it real, she captioned the picture: "I suck the s**t out my stomach for this."

Cardi also highlighted her tattoo in a snap where she is crouched down from behind while dressed in a lime green Fashion Nova bikini with gold chain straps on the bottom.
The look was completed with green and blue platform Louboutins, a royal blue and green wig, and a matching blue handbag.
In the video below, Cardi B first unveils her massive back tattoo that took months to complete:

"Givin you the blues," she captioned the picture which also saw her stare directly into the camera.

The rapper later shared a picture from her tattooist, Jamie Schene, revealing that the large artwork took over 60 hours to complete over a number of months and in "more than 10 cities."
"It was an awesome project and a crazy experience. Thanks for the dedication, strength, and hospitality. Lara and I appreciate you and your family," he wrote.
"@jamie_schene ready for the other tatt?' Cardi wrote over the post, before adding a number of distressed emojis.
This insight into Cardi's artwork comes after she recently perplexed fans with the unusual way she eats a salad.

Cardi B has come to be known for her tattoos. She has a large, colourful peacock piece that stretches from her waist to her knee, a cheetah on her left hip, and "loyalty over royalty" written on her right bicep.
How could we possibly know what any of these markings mean? Thankfully, Cardi B's newest tattoo is a little less cryptic.
While performing at Mid-State Fair show in Paso Robles, the rapper revealed that she recently got two new tattoos. One was covered in tape on her butt, hiding underneath her fishnets. It was the perfect accessory to her denim, bejewelled leotard.
The other, which her husband Offset posted on his Instagram, is a tribute to him. His name is now written in cursive on the back of Cardi B's thigh, which makes perfect sense. She already has her ex-boyfriend's name on her left wrist and her sister's on her left inner arm. Obviously, Cardi has a way of commemorating those who she loves.
Offset posted a photo of his wife revealing her new ink to him over FaceTime with the caption: "CAN'T WAIT TO GET HOME."

It's honestly about time that Cardi B permanently marked her husband's name on her body, especially given that he already has a tattoo in tribute to her. Last year, the Migos rapper got a Powerpuff Girl on his neck with "Cardi B" written underneath it.

Cardi's love for body modifications doesn't stop with ink, though. Earlier this month, she revealed on Instagram that she'd gotten several new piercings. In a video she posted praising other female rappers, Cardi showed off her new nose, tongue, lip and neck piercings.

While we don't yet know what Cardi's butt tattoo is, I can't wait for the big reveal. I hope it's a detailed portrait of Offset's face. After all, there's nothing like tattoos to keep a couple together.

Cardi B has taken to Instagram to unveil a huge, colourful back tattoo that allegedly took the artist over 60 hours to complete.
The rapper shared a video and image to the photo-sharing platform this week, which shows the ink beginning at her shoulders and snaking its way down her back to the middle of her left thigh.
The tattoo is made up of a slew of colourful flowers in vibrant shades of red, yellow, orange, pink and purple, interspersed with butterflies and birds. The artist responsible for the new inking is Jamie Schene, who shared a video of Cardi's tat, and he disclosed that not only did it take more than 60 hours to complete, but that the process was spread over the course of several months too.
Watch Cardi show off her ink below:
[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/eGhJYQf2-sKUnNGKf.mp4||eGhJYQf2]]
Thank you @iamcardib! 60+ hours, more than 10 cities, it was an awesome project and a crazy experience. Thanks for the dedication, strength, and hospitality. Lara and I appreciate you and your family [sic]," Schene captioned the post.
Cardi reposted the same video, thanking her tattoo artist for his work, before sharing a snap of herself in a strappy bikini that showed off the ink in all of its glory.
"Okay guys! Soooo here it is!It took me several months but I’m finally finished.This is my back tattoo!It goes from the top of my back to the middle of my thigh.Thank you [sic]," she wrote.

And fans seemed to love the new addition, with one Instagram user writing, "Woooooow so bright and vibrant", while another corroborated: "It came out so beautiful!!!"
We are urging all of our readers to adhere to the advice from their respective governments and medical bodies, and practice social distancing and self-isolation where required. Together, we will beat this.
Billie Eilish has recently unveiled a massive new tattoo and it seems as though people are making the same joke about it.
Taking to Instagram, the 21-year-old singer posted a photo dump revealing a new piece of body art which took up a large portion of her back.
On the photo-sharing platform, hundreds of users took to the comments to express their opinions on the back tattoo.
"Back tatt so [fire]," wrote one user, while another added: "That back tattoo tho."
A third also stated: "Without words, this is incredible."
Have a look at the post for yourselves:However, on Twitter, better known now as X, fans had an entirely different response with many poking fun of the new body art.
After popular news account, Pop Base reposted the image, a handful of social media users took to the platform to slate the ink work.
"Did she just ask for scribbles?" asked one user, while another said: "Why does this look like something an eight-year-old would do."
Others also chimed in with this Twitter user, writing: "Looks like a toddler with a marker went to town..."
Similarly, this user said: "When a toddler comes to you showing you what they just drew."
Someone else even brought up Drake's son, Adonis, stating that she had to credit the little boy.
"Looks like a child was playing with the ink on her back," this user also commented.
Big yikes.
While in the past, Eilish was pretty secretive about her body art, in the past few years, she has seemingly become more open about new pieces of work.
Back in 2020, the Grammy-award-winning artist vowed to keep her tatts a secret, stating that no one would ever see them.
"I did get a tattoo, but you'll never see it."
But after watching the video playback, the songstress admitted that she "lied again" before proceeding to open up about her once-secretive body art in a 2021 interview with Vanity Fair.
"I have three tattoos, now," Eilish admitted. "I have one here that says 'Eilish.' Yes, I love myself," she said pointing to her chest.
"I have one here — big boy here," the musician added, motioning to the right side of her rib cage. "And then, I just got this a few weeks ago, which is some fairies that are from a book that I had growing up — a little fairy book called Fairyopolis."
She showed off her left wrist and down the back of her hand, adding: "They're like my little guardian angel fairies."
While she's a self-admitted tattoo lover, she revealed her mom isn't a fan of the permanent ink.
"My mom hates tattoos," she told the outlet. "No, I'm not gonna be all tatted up, but I have some more ideas. Right now, I feel pretty satisfied. I feel like in a good zone with them."
"Give me a little more time and then I'll get another one," she added.
And her promise rang true with her new back piece.
Even though Eilish had become more open about more personal aspects about her life, like her tattoos, in the same year she told rapper Stormzy that she felt "conflicted' over the issue of oversharing.
"I feel conflicted about it," she said. "I don't always want to tell the world intimate details about my life, I don't really want people to know everything about me, but at the same time, I want people to be able to feel seen and heard if they've experienced the same things I have."
"I want to be helpful. I want people to realize that it's OK, that everyone goes through this," she added. "You can speak for people who don't have a voice."
Despite this though, she also stated that she doesn't want to spill every detail about her life to her fans.
"But also it's conflicting because sometimes you also don't want to talk about it," she explained to the British artist. "It's a tough responsibility because it's also not my responsibility. I don't owe anyone anything."
That's totally true, but we're happy that she felt like sharing her amazing, new piece of body art.
We can't wait to see if there's a follow-up!
