Have you ever gone through a phase in your life where you loved, say, Riff Raff to such an extent that you considered putting the needle to your skin to show your dedication? If your answer is yes, you might just be a regular over at /r/hiphopheads. The subreddit recently played host to a comparison of rap inspired body art that left us with feelings of both shock and awe.

Check the gallery above to see skin-deep homages to Wu Tang, MF Doom, Kanye West, Flatbush Zombies, and more. Just don’t be getting too inspired by these works of dedication. After all, no one likes a style biter.
