Lil Uzi Vert Shows Off Assortment of New Face Piercings

Lil Uzi Vert’s recently expanded roster of face piercings is drawing attention this week.

While photos of a similar look from the Eternal Atake 2 artist started making the rounds in December, a more recent example gives the best look yet at what appear to be multiple new (or at least somewhat recent) piercings on their face.

Uzi’s commitment to headlines-generating accessorizing is well-documented, including (but certainly not limited to) that time they rocked a pink diamond on their forehead. As for tattoos, Uzi at one point publicly pondered the possibility of having all their ink removed, though that plan (perhaps presented as a joke to begin with) was ultimately not brought to fruition.

In commemoration of last year’s release of Uzi’s Eternal Atake sequel, Complex took a look back at how Heaven’s Gate has served as a key inspiration across both albums. We also reached out to the anonymous individuals who currently operate the group's official site, resulting in this conversation.
