Cardi B unveils new dramatic face tattoo as she gushes over baby son Wave

Cardi B has paid tribute to her baby son by having his name tattooed on the side of her face.

The chart-topping rapper too to Instagram to share her new ink with her fans as she proudly displayed the artwork to her followers on the social networking site.

Cardi, 30, kept her dedication to her baby boy simple with red ink and cursive text spelling out 'Wave' on her jawline in the photo which she uploaded alongside a caption with his name in white letters written across the image.

The beauty opted for a full face of glamorous makeup as she gazed into the distance for the candid picture to display tattoo artist Robinson De Los Santos' work.

The inking is no surprise to her fans as Cardi has been toying with the idea all year after first teasing her decision on Twitter back in January.

She shared: “Random but ….I’m 1% close to tatting my son's name on my face….I really really wanna do it!”

Cardi is no stranger to a tattoo with a huge design covering both sides of her legs, back and bum amongst the inkings she already has adorning her body.

She opted to get the tattoo back in August, confirming to fans that she had done it during a live on Instagram back in September.

She said:“I tatted my son’s name because I love him, and I tatted my daughter’s name.”

Her young daughter, four-year-old Kulture, has her name written in cursive in dark ink, on the inside of Cardi's left arm near her elbow.

Cardi shares her children with fellow rapper Offset who recently lost his cousin and Migos bandmate Takeoff when he was tragically gunned down and killed on November 1.

Last week Cardi posted a tribute to the late star as she admitted the heartbreak felt at his passing.

She said: “Takeoff your untimely passing has brought a great deal of pain and sorrow to so many lives. The impact you had in this world was so considerable and we have struggled to grasp this tragedy. I am heartbroken but I am grateful for all the precious memories we got to share while you were here with us.

“This has truly been a nightmare and the pain is incomparable. The emptiness your brothers are feeling is unbearable and I pray that you give Offset, Quavo, and your friends and family the strength to keep going as they are trying to cope with this loss.”

Takeoff - who was just 28 years old - died after being fatally wounded outside a bowling alley in Houston, Texas.

A star-studded memorial held last week saw Justin Bieber perform as thousands of fans gathered to pay tribute to him.
