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.

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.

"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.
