8. Wiz Khalifa 

Do you recognize him without tattoos all over his face? It’s pretty difficult to and honestly, I probably wouldn’t have known it was him if it wasn’t for the look on his younger self’s face, because it’s one he still sports regularly. Now, he looks like a hardcore weed-smoker, but back then he just looked like your every day teenager up to no good.

Wiz Khalifa got his first tattoo when he was 16, but said even before then he knew he wanted to be covered in them. He believes they’re a way to express himself and tell a story about his life, feelings and opinions. Even now, while he’s still pretty covered, he strategically leaves little places he can add new tattoos so he can continue adding to the ever growing collection.
