Sexyy Red Sparks Debate with Ice Cream Cone Face Tattoo Similar to Gucci Mane’s Ink
4 min read
Sexyy Red, the rising rap sensation from St. Louis, has left fans scratching their heads after revealing what appears to be a new ice cream cone face tattoo. The design is strikingly similar to the infamous ink that rapper Gucci Mane has sported since 2011. However, the sudden appearance of this tattoo has sparked a flurry of speculation among fans, with many wondering whether the tattoo is real or just a temporary stunt.
The Unveiling: Real Ink or a Clever Prank?
On Thursday, August 29, Gucci Mane took to Instagram to give a shout-out to Sexyy Red, who seemingly debuted her new face tattoo—a large ice cream cone on her cheek, much like the one Gucci himself made famous. The post quickly caught the attention of fans and media outlets, igniting a debate over whether the tattoo was genuine or just a playful nod to the Atlanta rapper.
The reaction from fans was immediate and mixed. Some expressed concern and disbelief, with one fan commenting on The Shade Room’s post, “I pray it’s not permanent please. Y’all can get tattoos anywhere on your body except your face, ladies.” Others were more skeptical, pointing out that the tattoo might be part of a promotional gimmick. One user noted that Sexyy Red had recently shared a video of herself rapping over Gucci Mane’s 2010 track, “I Think I Love Her,” suggesting that the tattoo could be fake and intended for the video shoot. “It’s probably fake and for her video that she remade of Gucci’s song… Pipe down and get off my girl back,” they added.
Evidence Suggesting the Tattoo Might Be Fake
While the authenticity of Sexyy Red’s tattoo remains unconfirmed, there are clues that suggest it might not be permanent. On the same day that the tattoo made its debut, Sexyy Red posted a video on Instagram flaunting her new “Ghetto Princess” chain, designed by Jewelry Unlimited. In the video, her face was fully visible, and there was no sign of the ice cream tattoo. Additionally, the following day, she shared another clip on her Instagram Story, showing herself relaxing on her tour bus with her daughter, again with no tattoo in sight.
It’s not unclear at all. It simply isn’t real.

These posts have led many fans to conclude that the tattoo is likely temporary, possibly even drawn on with a marker. “Please lord let it be fake 🥹,” one user pleaded, while another observed, “I don’t think it’s real, it looks like marker🧐.” The consensus among several fans seems to be that the tattoo was a stunt or part of a creative project, with one person humorously noting, “Y’all so slow, obviously it’s not real, but still talking shit 😂.”

Gucci Mane’s ice cream cone face tattoo is one of the most recognizable pieces of ink in the hip-hop world. Unveiled in 2011, shortly after his release from a mental health facility, the tattoo quickly became a symbol of the rapper’s larger-than-life persona. Despite the controversy it sparked at the time, Gucci Mane has since expressed that while he doesn’t necessarily regret the tattoo, he likely wouldn’t have gotten it under different circumstances.
The bold choice has inspired other artists, including Young Thug and Sukihana, to get similar tattoos, further cementing its place in hip-hop culture.
