Timati or Black Star tattoos and their meaning

What prompts Timur Yunusov to decorate his body with more and more tattoos is an interesting question, the answer to which can only be found out from Timati himself. Is it a passion for Western hip-hop culture driven by nostalgia for a childhood spent in the USA, or clear ideas about what a Black Star made in Russia should look like? Or maybe just a passionate love for the tattoo industry? One way or another, people are often interested in the meaning of tattoos of their favorite hero of the hip-hop scene of our country.

Timati in tattoos

Timati has an unmeasured amount of tattoos, as if all the tattoo artists of the world got together and beat him from head to toe. But it seems so only at first glance. Firstly, tattoos appeared gradually, this can be seen from photographs of different years, starting from the age of thirteen Timur to this day. Secondly, for some reason there is a strange certainty that he will find a lot more space for new tattoos, because according to one of the legends in the world of the tattoo industry, a person who has clogged up several times will clog until clean skin runs out .

Timati perpetuates on the skin all the major events that take place in his life. Perhaps in many years, instead of photo albums, he will look at his tattoos and indulge in nostalgia.

Back

A giant skull in a crown flaunts all over the starry back of the dad of the Black Star inc brand. The crown is decorated with two stars (well, almost like on the Kremlin building), above the crown there is an inscription - "Moscow city", apparently this tattoo hints at Timur's love for the capital, in which, by the way, he was born. Under the skull are crossed microphones and the inscription "The Boss", to the right of the skull the inscription "No Friends", and to the left "No Loyalty". Currently, in addition to music, Timati is also engaged in the restaurant business, he has his own clothing line, and besides, Timur is raising a daughter, perhaps the inscriptions on his back really matter to him, because in order to remain the boss in life, you need to be able to be hard.

Chest

Timati's tattoos, the meaning of which only he himself knows, cover not only the back of the hip-hop artist, but also all other parts of the body. For example, a huge complex composition with clowns, sad and cheerful, flaunts on the chest, with an inscription that means “laugh now, cry later.” As well as a candle and a ribbon with the words "Save and save."

Neck

On the neck of Timur, his name in English is comfortably located - Timati in the halo of wings and lines. Pair tattoo - skulls in helmets with the inscription "One blood". Between the collarbones is a dove with an inscription, the approximate translation of which is "Love me or leave me alone." As you know, the dove is a symbol of peace and love. The inscription fits the theme of love, but gives a little aggression. But judging by the symbolism of other tattoos, this is normal for Timati. Above the dove, a small Cupid with bows and an arrow froze. Also on the neck you can see the number "13". There are several versions of the meanings of this tattoo for Timati. Timur himself mentioned in an interview that the number 13 is lucky for him. Behind the left ear, not so long ago, a portrait of a girl appeared, according to the zealous assertions of some fans, terribly similar to Mila Volchek, Timati's ex-partner.

Arms

On the back of the palms, there is an ornate inscription “Black Star”, as if hinting to others about who is Black and who is Star here.

Also on the hands you can see a green lion and a red dragon, apparently symbolizing the position of a person in our unstable world, inner strength, the ability to think creatively and fidelity.

Did you know that the red dragon and the green lion were the first tattoos that Timati made when he was 13 years old.

On both elbows of the hip-hop artist there are stars, this indicates the degree of Black Star's star disease.

Another tattoo is a portrait of Martin Luther King Jr. on his right arm in the style of realism. Next to the portrait there is an inscription in English, which means "I have a dream" in translation. On the phalanges of the fingers is the inscription "Good Luck". On the left hand is a rather complex composition of playing cards, ribbons and the inscription Hip-Hop Music.

Stomach

On the stomach is a small composition of playing cards, the inscription "Ladis Love", as well as two skulls made by a contour machine, painted with flowers.

На самом деле, на теле Тимати настолько много татуировок, что все они сливаются в одну общую композицию. Нет такой татуировки Тимати, эскиз которой не был бы тщательно продуман. Каждый элемент этой композиции играет веское значение для обладателя этих тату.

Some fans of Timati's creativity like his tattoos so much that they try to make themselves the same. This is of course the choice of everyone, but in simple terms such an act is called plagiarism and is not very respected.

When I was 16, I made myself a tattoo, like Timati's. Stars on elbows. Due to my age, it was still impossible for me to get a tattoo without the permission of my parents, but I asked an older friend to go to the salon with me.

I made a portrait of Timati in the style of realism on my hip. Well, what, he is a tough guy, he achieved everything himself. So I thought it would bring good luck. It's been 2 years now and no luck. I plan to fill a portrait of Jackie Chan on the other thigh. Suddenly help.

I like Timati, I made a tattoo like he did. On the chest. There are two faces, contented and sad, only I asked to fill the inscription in Russian. "Laugh now, you'll cry later." They did my tattoo in the salon. I am not yet eighteen, so I had to persuade my parents to have one of them go with me for the first time. I went to the next sessions myself. The tattoo artist offered me a color tattoo, I agreed, although Timati has it in black and white. I really liked the tattoo.

Отзыв:

Пол года назад у меня появилась татуировка. Честно говоря, идею я подглядела у Тимати, есть такой хип-хоп исполнитель. У меня теперь, как и у него голубь между ключиц и надпись под ключицами «Love Me Or Leave Me Alone». Мне не нравится творчество Тимати, но татуировки у него классные.
