Before hitting the stage at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest (alongside BTS, Alanis Morissette, and more) to ring in 2020 in Times Square, Post Malone took time to squeeze in one last face tattoo for the decade.
After debuting the ink on-stage on December 31, 2019, Malone took to Instagram on January 1, 2020 to show off a small portion of the fresh tattoo, which runs all the way down the right side of his face. "Have a good a** new year," he captioned the snap. At the same time, tattoo artist Kyle Hediger showed off his handiwork in full, writing, "Last tattoo of 2019. Gauntlet on the baby boy @postmalone." He added, "2020 is going to be next level. Love you all."
The design, which is massive, even for Malone, is yet another ode to the musician's love of all things medieval and shows a gauntlet holding a medieval flail, which is a spiked ball and chain that historians argue was even a real weapon, according to The Public Medievalist. The tattoo, however, is very real, and it takes up serious real estate, running down Malone's temple, across his jawline, and ending up on the side of his chin. We can't even begin to imagine what ink 2020 will hold!
