MC Ride tattoos

The artist has multiple tattoos on his neck, back, shoulders, arms, chest, and other body parts. Over the years, they have remained an issue of fascination and speculation about the rapper among his audiences.

Moreso, his fans continually express much interest in discovering their meanings. However, the rapper has kept the meaning of the tattoos a secret even among his close friends.

That said, some dedicated fans have figured out that one specific MC Ride tattoo, namely the 111 across his stomach are a reference to the number of the beast (666), as the Hebrew character for 6 bears a strong resemblance to the number 1 we are all used to.

Most of the artist's visible tattoos seem to reference voodoo or the occult, such as the symbol for the necronomicon gate on his chest, a fly, which often represents Beelzebub, several skulls, a silhouette of what looks like the devil, spiders and more. Nonetheless, we may never know what these tattoos actually mean to MC Ride himself, as the man is as mysterious and private as he is talented.
