Game Gets Nelson Mandela Tattoo

    Game has gotten a tattoo of Nelson Mandela.

    Game’s tattoo of the fallen icon was done by Nikko Hurtado, a tattoo artist who is known for his work with portraits.

    The tattoo was revealed to the public in an Instagram post by Game. 

    The caption can be viewed below.

    The finished “Nelson Mandela” lookin out of the prison bars by @NikkoHurtado done on my side. 7 hour sitting…. Few more hours to tie in the tats around it & we solid.#NelsonMandela #RIP #Legend #Leader#Freedom #Peace #Equality #Tattoos#SouthAfrica

    Hurtado also posted an image of the tattoo with his own caption.

    “A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don’t have that idea when you are arrogant, superficial, and uninformed.” #NelsonMandela Tattoo collector @thedocumentary In the arm pit area! Ouch.

    Nelson Mandela, a South African activist and leader of the anti-apartheid movement, passed away Thursday (December 5). He was 95.

    Game has several tattoos of his heroes, including one of Eazy-E. 

    Recently, Game spoke about another one of his tattoos, one of Trayvon Martin.

    “When I got my first tattoo, my grandmother Lillie Frazier—she at home,” Game said during a recent interview. “She told me, she was like ‘Well, go on and get you your tattoos if you want. I won’t tell your mother because it’s just a costume. You borrow it for 70, 80 years, you give it back to God. Yours is just gonna have writing on it.’ So, my grandma supports me…I actually got a text message from his [Trayvon Martin] mom, which was cool. She appreciated the gesture. And I get tattoos all the time and that was just that whole story. I got a kid and I just thought that was so unfortunate, so I did it.”

    1. I’m starting to think I’m the only person Game hasn’t got tat’d on him. lol. At least this is probably the realest tat Game has.

    2. LOL like 5 people called this shit as soon as he passed away!

      still waiting for that Paul Walker tattoo!!

      If Nelson Mandela meant so much to game why did he have to wait until he was no longer living to tattoo him on his body? This is the same guy who got a Trayvon Martin tattoo!!

      1. Mandela did to Paul Walker in death what Michael Jackson did to Farrah Fawcett, stole some of the shine away from it. Which by the way I’m surprised Game doesn’t have an MJ tat . . . yet.

    3. This guy is such a fucking clown and publicity bitch. What up with the PAUL WALKER tattoo? Why now a Mandela tattoo?

      I bet that Game is so dumb that before Mandela passed he never heard of Mandela.

      1. he probably heard of him but thats about as far as it went im sure. we all know he’s never read a book in his life

      2. I bet you’re so dumb, you never heard him shout out Mandela even as far back as 2008 on “Letter To the King” with Nas, and that Game is actually a pretty thoughtful dude.

      3. Making a shoutout/shitty reference to mandela in a song does not make you a throughtful dude. He name drops anyone.

      1. why do you need proof to be his friend? the fact you need proof to be someones friend is actually proof that you are not their friend, even if you know them ( which your troll- ass-low-life definitely does not)

    4. Game’s Life Lessons: Tattoos cover everything up. When apologies get played out, just get a tat to cover up what you said.

      1. Both of them will have a hand in the air with their palms facing each other. Every time Game makes his ass clap while stripping, they will give each other hi-fives!

    5. Mandela wouldn’t of wanted to be remembered on someone’s skin with the symbol of imprisonment , he would prefer the message of freedom and unity.

      Hate when people get tats for the wrong reasons with the wrong message of someone’s legacy.

    6. This nigga will do anything to stay relevant, first a tattoo of Trayvon, now Mandela I’m surprised he hasn’t got one of Paul Walker

    7. My next tat is going to be Game with a tattoo of me on him with a tattoo of him on me with a tattoo of me on him with a tattoo of him on me, etc!!!

    8. I’m the best friend of Birdman and Ronald Williams adnw e are producing Game’s upcoming album with hot beats from DJ Khaled. Game is about to get a Paul Walker tattoo on his back and all you faggots will believe I’m friend with Game and Lil Wayne. swag

      1. Game is going to get a tattoo of a popsicle on his dick and he said that I can taste it first when it’s done!!!

    9. Game a groupie but he makes dope albums, he and 50cent should get their past differences aside and work together like grown men, how we do and hate it or love it was the shit.

    10. He has some good songs, but damn he’s like the biggest opportunistic dick-rider. If he was such a big Mandela fan, he could have got a tattoo when Mandela was still alive. He’s dick-riding plain and simple.

    11. its a shame this nigga can on be on hip hop site for everything apart from his music, if he isn’t fighting someone, he’s getting something tatted on him, saying fuck g-unit then saying he wants a reunion

      1. or stealing white kids photos and making up stories about the prince of saudi arabia sending him gifts LMFAO fucking fraud

    12. upto I saw the check for $9548, I did not believe that my brothers friend woz actualy taking home money in their spare time from there labtop.. there great aunt started doing this 4 less than 22 months and at present cleared the dept on there home and got a brand new Lotus Carlton. more information… http://www.Fb39.com

      its just the small minds of our ppl. see a little bit of money and nothing else matters. its sickening really. i know white ppl do it to us but its imo its worse when we do it to ourselves.

    13. Please vote (by putting an X to the checkbox) who’s going to be the subject of next Game tattoo:

      [_] Kendrick Lamar
      [_] Birdman
      [_] Rodney King
      [_] 50 Cent
      [_] Miley Cyrus

      My vote goes to:
      [X] Birdman

    14. Game is one of those guys you wanna like but he’s such a f#kc boi. At least three times a year he does some shit that leaves people shaking their head.

    15. up to I saw the receipt 4 $4436, I did not believe …that…my sister was really receiving money parttime at there labtop.. there great aunt has been doing this 4 only about nine months and a short time ago repaid the morgage on there mini mansion and bought Cadillac. Get the facts… http://www.FB39.com

      Rozay will NEVER sell a gazillion albums but he can say none pf his albums had Eminem on them which is something the washed up Gorilla cant say.

    16. That is some dope artwork of Nelson Mandela, but damn Game is an attention whore. He’s like hoes who take cleavage pics on Facebook for likes, talkin’ about “the sunset is beautiful”.

      1. damn guys guys guys get a boody room and stop hating on the fella..get a life!!!! assholes will always be assholes not dicks stop hating hiphop’s Mandela…lol…fuck all yall

    17. This nut-huggin nigga is such an opportunist, tatting any nigga who dies and shit, guess if some porn bitch dies he’ll get a pussy tatted on his pelvis

    18. its funny how you all bitch at him and others for the things they do then i go on twitter or instagram the next day and see 50,000 of you fucks do the same things ultimately making a trend. regardless of how much he liked him before he died his death prompted him to pay respects by putting it for life on HIS skin on HIS body by HIS choice.Blame the media for giving it the attention which would obviously ensue with anybody in celebrity status. you can’t please everyone and usually the ones your trying to please are the cynical fucks who pull all the fun out of life.Sorry I’ve been reading a lot of threads an all i can see is negativity,the ones who support get dicked on, oh and Gucci Mane is a real nigga apparently.
