The second tattoo of Sade is a similarly sized portrait of her just behind the first one. Drake decided to get another one o nly three months after he had the portrait above. It would seem that the dedication and idolization of the British singer-songwriter Sade were not apparent enough with only one tattoo of her. It is in black and grey, depicting a lot of detail, including the big ear hoops, and a towel wrapped around her, and a hair wrap. The question is, however, did she write it on there herself?
Furthermore, it is accompanied by the writing “ with love Sade x.” It would seem that this is in Sade’s handwriting. The portrait of Sade is on the rappers left-hand ribcage.
However, this is still a little uncertain. Drake had been seen with Sade quite a few times in the preceding months, which led to conjecture that the pair were dating. At the time of this tattoo, Sade was a 58-year old famed R&B singer-songwriter. Therefore, Sade is someone that Drake has an evident fondness for. The Sade ink was the third tattoo that Drake had in the same week. Due to the timing of the images of the tattoos, it does appear that it was probably in the same session as the More Life flower that this got completed. What we do know, however, is this tattoo is placed right next to the flaming, unruly skull on his left shoulder. However, speculation has risen to say that it was a tribute to Drakes old Twitter username, Or, could it be because he is a massive fan of the Drakkar Noir fragrance? Or perhaps it is just that it sounds like his name? Maybe no one will ever know! There has been no definitive reason given for this tattoo. However, instead of another flower, this time the Swedish tattooist, Niki Norberg inked a bottle of the classic black Drakkar Noir bottle. It was only days after the pink flower tattoo (above) that Drake revealed his next tattoo. Let us know if you have had a tattoo by Niki, as the last time we checked, his waiting list was four years! Drakkar Noir The tattoo was first shared by the Sweedish tattoo artist Nikki Norberg, who owns a studio based in Gothenburg, on his Instagram account. Therefore, it may be that they used a bee in this logo to show that Drake was releasing his playlist on that episode. Although, it is worth noting that this was the first, and only episode that had any correlation to the bees. On this episode, Radio Ovo sound used a bee for their logo. However, the connection to the bee may well be because the playlist premiered on Radio Ovo sound on episode 39 on the 18th of March 2017. This bee may be to signify the necessity of honey bees for the human crop population of the earth (more life).
However, the main difference between the tattoo and the promotional artwork is that he has had an incredibly detailed honey bee incorporated into his ink. The highly detailed image of the pink flower on the back of Drakes right shoulder appears to be one of a hibiscus. Although the flower got based on the artwork for the release, it is not identical.
