With all the swagger that Post Malone exudes, it’s hard to believe he doesn’t find himself attractive. In an interview with GQ, the artist called himself an “ugly-a** motherf***er,” and added that his face tattoos help him disguise his self-doubt. “It does maybe come from a place of insecurity, to where I don’t like how I look, so I’m going to put something cool on there so I can look at myself and say, ‘You look cool, kid,’ and have a modicum of self-confidence when it comes to my appearance.”
According to Insider, the “Congratulations” singer has over 65 tattoos, all with various meanings. The singer revealed that he got his first while working on his album, “Stony,” alongside Justin Bieber. “I was just like, ‘You know what? Justin Bieber’s got some tats. And, I love you, but I know I’m way tougher than you,'” he explained on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” “[I got] a Playboy bunny tattoo for my first tattoo. I don’t know why.”

Other of his tattoos include a sword, Japanese waves, a ball and chain, and his infamous “Always Tired” script under his left and right eye. While fans chalk up the phrase to lack of sleep, Malone admitted it had nothing to do with insomnia. “I tried to do something that’s relatively the same length of letters,” he told Capital XTRA. “I guess … ‘always’ is more letters than ‘tired,’ but I was tired so I didn’t f***ing realize.”
