Tuff Gym questions whether Costa Mesa rapper GB Drako 'earned' his face tattoo

Fitness content creator Tuff Gym had some notes for Costa Mesa rapper GB Drako, and they were about his face.

In a clip credited to Juice Unlocked and filmed on its podcast set, the conversation turned to Drako and the tattoo on his cheek. The take: face tattoos are something you earn, not something you pick on your first trip to the shop.

The debate

The talk laid out a ladder: you earn your face tattoo, your neck tattoo, your head tattoo. One voice in the clip asked how anyone could know Drako hadn't earned his, but the answer came back that people today just walk into a tattoo shop and point at their face.

"Why go straight to the face?" one speaker asked. "Go somewhere else." The clip closed on the same point: "Going straight to the face isn't cool. You know what I mean? You got to earn it."

“Why go straight to the face? Why you know? Go somewhere else.”

Who's who

Tuff Gym, whose profile name is Tony, had about 77,300 Instagram followers in the profile screenshot shown on the post's cover. His bio there said he was 12 years clean and sober and called him a skit creator with more than 100 million views.
