Rap culture has always had a special attraction to decorating their bodies with tattoos. A rare rapper will refuse to fill a memorable picture or a meaningful phrase reminiscent of the hard times spent in the "ghetto". Alexey Dolmatov, acting under the stage name Guf (Guf), being a prominent representative of the rap scene, also maintains this tradition of the genre and periodically replenishes his collection with new tattoos.

Music Tattoos

A completely obvious and logical phenomenon is the appearance of tattoos on a musician's body on a musical theme. And Guf, of course, has a couple of such tattoos:

• A boombox (musical tape recorder) is conveniently located on the musician's right forearm, which has gone through quite a few transformations and corrections.
• A little higher than the famous tape recorder, the rapper later filled buttons resembling a music player control panel.
• On the left shoulder, surrounded by heaps of clouds, there is a rather large musical microphone (1930s format).

Alexey Dolmatov's music-themed tattoos

I also have a microphone tattoo only on the inside of my shoulder. I am not a fan of Guf, but I am very familiar with his work. And I made this tattoo because I myself am a musician. This, of course, is not the most original sketch, it seems to me that every fifth musician definitely has such a tattoo, but I like it!

Love theme in Guf's tattoos

Everyone knows that any rapper is quite sensitive to the topic of the family: representatives of this musical direction often stuff tattoos dedicated to their mothers, children and beloved women... Here and Alexei such memorable tattoos more than enough.

The first tattoo that you should pay attention to is a rather large portrait of Isa, Guf's ex-wife, under which there is an illegible, secret saying. This tattoo is located on the side of the musician. On the right shin, also dedicated to the beautiful wife, the tattoo "One love Vagapova" is stuffed.

Did you know? Tattoo "One love Vagapova", dedicated to the ex-wife of Alexei Dolmatov, is a pair. On the right leg of Aiza, a woman he once loved, there is also a tattoo "One love Dolmatov", of course.

Singer Love Tattoos

On the inside of the right forearm, the following inscription flaunts: "Sami V.V.X." This is the name and date of birth of Sami, the beloved son of the famous rapper.

Tattoos dedicated to Moscow

Alexey Dolmatov never hid tender feelings for Moscow, singing it in his texts or sharing with the press the stories that happened to him in the capital. And no wonder: after all, here he was born and raised, here he became addicted to drugs, and then got rid of addiction, here he met love and became famous throughout the country. That is why the most famous and large-scale Alexey's tattoos are dedicated to her, Moscow.

Intricate inscriptions on the rapper's body and their meaning

Like many rap musicians, Dolmatov has a huge number of all kinds of inscriptions on his body, the meaning of some of which is still not known to the public:

• "NO." on the elbow - earlier the musician's elbow was decorated with this mysterious inscription, over the solution of the meaning of which not a single fan broke his head; it was later covered with a tape recorder tattoo.
• "Parental Advisory Explicit Lyrics" and Label "ZM" on the left chest.
• Under the right chest, "All cops are bastards" (in English) and a strange, bizarre lettering with a star.
• Through the entire stomach stretched the inscription "addiction" in English, which is a memory of the defeated drug addiction.
• On the right hand there is an Arabic inscription, and on the left there are also lines of Arabic origin, the meaning of which the musician is silent about.

Almost all of the rapper's inscriptions are presented in this photo.

Film classics, which Dolmatov filled, and other arts

The rapper is not only a passionate lover of music, but also a fan of cinema, so he decided to immortalize the already eternal film masterpieces on his hand. As you know, the singer's favorite films are "Scarface", "Reservoir Dogs" and "The Godfather", in connection with which his body is now adorned with the faces and crown phrases of Marlon Brondo, Al Pacino, as well as the five thugs from the sensational film Tarantino.

Other tattoos on the singer's body include the image of the Indian leader, located on the right leg. Many fans believe that this tau is associated with Alexei's favorite track "The Leader".

Finding out the meaning of tattoos on the faces of Eljay, Scrooge, Legalize and other cool guys

Face tattoos are one of the hallmarks of the so-called "new school of rappers." They shock the grandmothers at the entrance more than the clogged sleeves. And if earlier face tattoos were part of the image of American hip-hoppers, now more and more Russian performers are making drawings for themselves. Read more about them in this collection.

ELJAY

And although the artist himself did not comment on this event in any way, the fans launched a whole discussion to get to the bottom of the meaning of the inscription.

From the conclusions: the inscription is a line of coordinates. Due to the poor clarity of the images, it is impossible to see the exact numbers. But the main version at the moment is Aljay's favorite place on Earth. It may be in Japan or Spain - the cultures of these countries influenced the early work of Elj. It may also turn out to be a resting place where the rapper secretly traveled with his now wife Nastya Ivleeva.

Although, some fans joke that this is just the address of his Moscow apartment, so that the artist does not forget where he lives.

MORGENSTERN

The number 666 scares the superstitious, but the rapper Morgenshtern is not one of them. He filled in a rather large image of the "number of the beast" right above his eyebrow.

As it turned out, the musician did not put any sacred meanings into this drawing. He just knew that with such a tattoo he would definitely not be hired in the office. A trip to a tattoo parlor has become a non-return point in choosing a life path. No jackets or conferences. Only creativity. There is no turning back. Soon, the artist liked wearing little mermaids on his face so much that he added a note and a mace to the collection.

Rapper Face (real name - Ivan Dremin) got tattoos on his face at the moment when he realized: Face is no longer just a pseudonym. This is a symbol of the fact that he has become the “face of the younger generation”.

Ivan became widely known in 2017, when his album No Love was downloaded by 7.9 million people. In the spring of the same year, the inscription Numb appeared above the rapper's eyebrow. The word is translated from English as "numb", "numb" or "helpless" - this is how Dremin remembers his state in his school years. It also contains a reference to the iconic Linkin Park song.

The rapper knocked out two more inscriptions on his face under his right (HATE) and left (LOVE) eyes. As the performer himself admitted, by this he wanted to convey the idea that love and hate are the main feelings that live in a person, and through the prism of which we all look at the world.

LIGALIZE

The pyramid on Legalize's chin is the very first of Andrey Menshikov's numerous tattoos. She, according to the rapper, does not carry any occult meanings. At the beginning of his career, Liga made it to shock and surprise.

But over time, journalists increasingly asked the musician obsessive questions about the secret meaning of the picture. Therefore, the League had to come up with a legend that the pyramid looks like the letter L, with which his pseudonym begins.

In 2018, on the eve of the release of the Young King album, Andrey posted on Instagram a photo of a fresh crown tattoo on his forehead.

In the documentary dedicated to Roman Super, Liga appeared with thick stubble, which makes it difficult to see the very triangle. The crown was hidden behind a cap pulled over his forehead. Matured?

SCROOGIE

Scrooge (Eduard Vygranovsky) has been thinking about going to a tattoo parlor for two years, because his relatives, as the artist himself admitted, do not really approve of tattoos.

Now, the word Edy, an abbreviation of the name Edward, is stuffed over the rapper's right eyebrow. And above the left - the inscription NOT GUILTY, translated from English "innocent".

In addition to the inscriptions, Scrooge also has graphics on his face, numbers on his ears and a continuation of the tattoo that he got on his neck.

Rap these days is not just popular music, but a real hymn of youth. For teenagers and children, "Face" and "Morgenstern" are not English-German words, but the names of the main idols. They imitate, envy, copy the lifestyle.

Rappers are often compared to 80s rockers. And at least one thing they really have in common. Few of them served in the army, but if the protesting youth of the late Union did it from an ideological point of view, then the current idols simply do not want to lose money that they can earn at the peak of their popularity.

Some of them successfully "got rid of", someone studied until the age of 27, others were saved by tattoos. "Komsomolskaya Pravda" decided to talk about the relationship of today's popular singers with the army.

TATTOOS - A SIGN OF MENTAL DISORDER

Quite recently, the recruiting office of Bashkiria told why they did not take the rapper Fays, popular among teenagers, into the army. Ufa resident Ivan Dremin last spring underwent a thorough medical examination at the place of registration, and announced to his fans that he would suspend his career and go to serve. But, as it turned out later, he did not pass the medical commission. Military medics believed that he had all the signs of a psychiatric disorder. And the blame for everything is the famous tattoos on the face.

Such tattoos are a sign of a mental disorder. He also had a number of diseases, which I will not spread about because of medical secrecy, but tattoos were of decisive importance, Boris Usatov, chairman of the military medical commission of the military enlistment office of Bashkiria, said at a press conference.

Ivan was recognized as partially fit for military service, he received a temporary reprieve and the next years will be under the supervision of the military enlistment office doctors.

TATTOOS SAVED FROM SERVICE AND TIMATI

"Colored body" saved from the army and Timati, known in the military registration and enlistment office more as Timur Yunusov. The popular rapper himself admitted that during the passage of the commission he was given a so-called "white" ticket, having been declared mentally unfit due to the fact that more than 60% of his body was covered with tattoos.

The very service in the army "Black Star" considers useless.

I have always considered the army to be superfluous in my life. Having learned this decision of the medical board, I came home with a happy smile. And my mother told me: “You see, at least once your tattoos were useful,” says Timati.

EXCLUDED FROM THE UNIVERSITY

Now another native of Bashkiria, a very young Alisher Morgenstern, is gaining popularity. The 21-year-old rapper started making music at the age of 12. He grew up without a father, worked part-time in a car wash, and in a courier service, but soon realized that he only liked creativity.

With Alisher's studies, the relationship did not work out - the young man entered the pedagogical institute, but not for the sake of gaining knowledge. At that time, the only source of income for him was payments for the loss of a breadwinner in the amount of eight thousand rubles, which the university transferred to him.

True, the blogger did not stay there for a long time - in his second year, Alisher crashed out of the educational institution. The excuse was that he was filming a video for his video blog on the territory of the school, where he was practicing in an "inappropriate" way.

Therefore, there is no longer a "guardian" from the army in the form of higher education Morgenstern. Consequently, soon the officers of the military registration and enlistment office will drop in to see him. Alisher has nothing to fear - it is unlikely that he will be hired to serve with such an appearance. Dreadlocks on the head can be shaved off, but three rather large tattoos on the face (and several on the body) are unlikely to be removed. Probably, the fate of Timati and Faith awaits him.

ARRIVED HOME, AND HERE WAITS POPULARITY

But another mega-popular artist Max Korzh gave his debt to the Motherland. A singer from Belarus, as a teenager, began to get involved in music, studied at school, entered the university at the Faculty of International Relations.

For the sake of prestige, - as he told reporters. - But, as it turned out, it's not mine. I did not show up for the session, and I was expelled.

Max dropped out of the university, but did not refuse the service. I went to the military registration and enlistment office at the first call and, as expected, served. Before the service, he managed to record the song "Heaven will help us", which brought him fame. She was even "chased" on radio stations while he paid his debt to the Motherland. Without hesitation, Korzh openly says that he borrowed $ 300 from his mother to record the song in the studio.

During the last training camp in the army, I turned out to be cooler than my grandfathers - they took pictures with me and took autographs, - says Max.

After service, he recovered at the university, but the priorities remained the same, and by that time his popularity was gaining momentum.

THERE IS ANOTHER THREE YEARS

Nothing is known about the relationship between Aljay and the service. The popular rapper is now 24 years old, and he has three more years left - to cut or pay back his debt to the Motherland.

Aleksey Uzenik himself does not comment on this, but it is known for sure that he does not study at the university. After the ninth grade, he entered medical school, and then suddenly dropped out - rap music for several years, it turns out, had been calling him to her.

The popularity is growing, Alexey works without raising his head. There is definitely no place for an army in his life at the moment. And it is unlikely that the young performer will be taken there.

The "trick" of his stage image is milky-white lenses that look creepy, but create an extraordinary look. He also loves to get tattoos: on his right elbow he has a tattoo in the form of a lantern, which means the beginning of a successful period in life. On his right hand on his finger, he made a tattoo in the form of a bullet, and under his left eye - brass knuckles. Isn't this a symptom of a mental disorder, like Faith's?

HIDDEN FROM THE MILITARY

Information that Dima Bilan was running away from the army appeared back in 2006, when he was 24 years old. It turned out that the singer turned away from the army, despite the fact that the medical board recognized him as fit for urgent service. Bilan had health problems, but they planned to take him into the army as soon as he recovered. The singer's card then contained a diagnosis of a minor urological disease.

Some with such a diagnosis do not operate on purpose, hoping to "skew", - then commented in the military registration and enlistment office.

They tried to catch Dima for several years, but for some reason they could not do it. Oddly enough, Bilan, flashing on the TV screen and newspaper stripes, was unable to find the police, who were given lists of dodgers.

Well, the precinct is looking for him, he can't find it. Can't we go to his concert and disrupt the show? - commented 12 years ago at the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Bilan himself commented that he was not in the army for one simple reason - studying at GITIS in his second year as a dramatic actor. What, what, and Bilan managed to get rid of the army one or two times. Now he is 37 years old, and he is definitely not in danger of service.

Domestic rapper Alexey Dolmatov, along with his ex-wife Aiza, are big fans of tattoos. Their bodies are almost entirely covered with many interesting tattoos. Today we'll talk about all Guf's tattoos, tell you their meaning and show a photo.

If we evaluate all the tattoos together, then we can distinguish several main plots. First - Moscow and everything connected with it... As a member of the Centr group and an independent artist, Guf paid tribute to his hometown and the area in which he grew up.

More some of the tattoos are dedicated to the wife... As we remember, several works on Isa's body are also dedicated to her now ex-husband.

Other Guf tattoos are images of various characters, inscriptions and more. In other words, let's discuss each one in turn.

The word NO and a tape recorder under the elbow

This is one of the first Guf tattoos. All fans remember the famous one, which has undergone various modifications and improvements several times. There are also many rumors about the word "NO". In some sources, you can find information that this is an abbreviation with a rather bold decoding. Nevertheless, I do not want to write about what we do not know for sure.

Microphone tattoo on left shoulder

On the rapper's left shoulder, there is another evidence of belonging to music -. Pretty standard storyline for musicians.

Moscow lettering on the back of the neck

The first tattoo dedicated to Moscow is located on the artist's neck. The inscription was made in English. Pay attention to the very unusual font!

Guf's tattoo on the back: a panorama of Moscow

The famous 7 skyscrapers are located along the entire width of the artist's back. The black and white tattoo once again reminds of the beloved city of Guf.

Scheme of Zamoskvorechye on its side

Quite an interesting and unusual work is located on the side of the young performer. This is a schematic drawing of the central district of Moscow. Someone might consider this to be an overkill. However, the idea of ​​such a tattoo is unique and interesting in itself.

Movie heroes on the right shoulder

A very high quality and memorable work can be seen on the musician's right shoulder. These are the heroes of their favorite films Reservoir Dogs, The Godfather and Scarface.

Label name on chest

For quite a long time, Guf has been an independent artist who organized his own label ZM Nation. The label's logo flaunts on the musician's chest.

Couple tattoo in honor of Aiza

In the article about Aiza, we have already shown a pair tattoo, which he and Guf made on the lower leg. One love Vagapova - written on Guf's leg. As you might guess, the last word denotes the maiden name of the ex-wife.

Son's birthday

We also remember how important the birth of a son is in the life of Guf and Aiza. The guys captured this event in the form of tattoos. We saw the name of the child on Isa's hand, while Guf's date of birth is filled with Roman numerals: V.V.X, which means 05/05/2010.

Lettering

There are quite a few different inscriptions on the artist's body. Here you can see the famous tattoo of football hooligans - ACAB or all cops are bastards, a few lines on the hand, the Arabic word "Hashish".

In conclusion, we can say that Guf was and remains one of the brightest performers on the Russian rap scene, and not only his music speaks for him, but also numerous tattoos on his body.

The artist got himself a rose tattoo in honor of his nickname.

Jacques-Anthony

Jacques tattooed himself with the inverted word "Game", thereby showing that he "turned" it over.

Face

Face made tattoos on his face in early 2017. Under his eyes, he has two inscriptions Hate and Love ("hatred" and "love"). As Ivan explained in one of his interviews, these are the two emotions that he experiences most often, and the inscription "Numb" is interpreted as the inner state of the artist. He said that until recently he felt like Numb (which means numb or helpless).

Kizaru

Oleg also has several tattoos on his face. One of them is JEFE. According to him, she reminds him of his time in prison. During this time, he received important life lessons, in memory of which he got a tattoo. He also has another devil horn tattoo, as on the cover of his debut album "Mas Fuerte", and another symbol, the meaning of which the artist did not mention.

Lottery billz

A young and promising artist not so long ago made himself a tattoo in the form of a crying heart flying away on wings. The performer interprets his tattoo as follows: "Where love should be with understanding, only tears of suffering appear ..". The author told us that he decided to get a tattoo to remind people of the importance of helping and understanding each other in this world.
