Many Russian and foreign pop stars decorate their bodies with tattooed drawings and hieroglyphs.

The famous rapper Timati (Timur Yunusov) is the leader in the number of tattoos inflicted among representatives of Russian show business. Each image and inscription on its body carries a certain meaning and meaning.
Timati's first tattoo
Timati tattoos attract everyone's attention. The Russian rapper inflicted his first tattoo in Los Angeles, where he lived for a while. The culture of rap artists in a foreign country is associated with tattoos, which are treated with particular responsibility. Being a fan of this trend, Timati decided to follow fashionable foreign trends at the age of 13 and applied the first tattoo in the form of a fire dragon. According to experts, such an image symbolizes nobility, perseverance, fidelity, inner strength and the ability to go beyond the ordinary. So the singer wanted to stand out as a modern rapper who can reach many heights. Subsequently, he became so carried away by body painting that he "painted" his body by more than 70%.
The meaning of tattoo
Many fans want to find out about Timati's tattoos and their meaning. After all, every picture on the body of the rapper harmoniously fits into his holistic bright image.
- Black on the back . This is the singer’s biggest tattoo. Instead of bones, two crossed microphones with the inscription The Boss adorn the base of the skull . The skull represents despair, risk and luck, and is also a symbol of the truth of time, which over time destroys all life. The inscription The Boss shows the role of the rapper in the overall team. Indeed, today Timati is a producer, creator of youth branded clothing and the owner of a media empire.
- The inscription Black Star on the back of the palms . This is the most expressive and noticeable tattoo of the singer, associated with his pseudonym. Subsequently, Black Star became the name of the whole brand.
- Stars on the elbows . This tattoo symbolizes popularity, stardom and success on stage and a sign that a person wants to surpass himself.
- Moscow City in the upper back is dedicated to the singer’s favorite city - Moscow.
On the body of the rapper there are many other images that are associated with his internal state. Timati's tattoos are not only shocking jewelry; each of them has a certain semantic load or is associated with the completion of a happy period in the singer's life.
Latest tattoos
Timati's body painting is truly admirable. One of the last tattoos of the singer is a portrait of Martin Luther King on his right hand with the inscription: I have a dream. All tattoos of Timati have hidden implications, and the rapper explains the meaning of this image in this way: racism on earth will end when the “black” president comes to world power. The tattoo has a deep meaning, therefore, "hidden" from prying eyes.
Tattoo protect from evil eye
Timati's tattoos are close-up shots by many journalists and fans. But the singer does not always provide them with such an opportunity, explaining this by the fact that tattoos protect him from the evil eye. The rapper is convinced that tattoos can protect against otherworldly forces and repel bad energy. That's just the experts do not agree with the opinion of Timati. Many of his tattoos represent selfishness, inadequacy, protest and the symbols of the Devil. Confirmation of this is the skull - a symbol of death, the number 13 on the neck of the singer and other images.
But once Timati's tattoos really saved him. By law, a person must not cover his body with drawings by more than 50%, otherwise he will be considered mentally abnormal, and therefore unsuitable for service in the armed forces. So the rapper managed to escape the army.
