We've seen the mean and moody look employed a few times already to represent rap stars, and here it us being well-employed again, this time to pick out a fantastic likeness to Notorious B.I.G. The rap star, who was shot dead in Los Angeles in 1997 in what was believed to be a rap feud. Like Tupac Shakur, he'd been taken in his prime, and was greatly mourned by the rap community and music lovers worldwide.
Puff Daddy's global hit 'Every Breath You Take' was a tribute to B.I.G, and arguably elevated the profile of the deceased star with the success it garnered. That meant that B.I.G's posthumous album, released weeks after his death, shot straight to number 1 in the Billboard charts. Coming back to the tattoo, our favorite detail is the cityscape reflected in the rapper's sunglasses. It's a reminder that, for a short while, the world belonged to B.I.G.
