Lil Uzi Vert has plans to get rid of their tattoos.

While speaking to LA Weekly, the rapper, 28, revealed they didn't have a "favorite tattoo" when asked which piece of ink on their body they were most fond of.

“None of them,” Lil Uzi Vert — who uses they/them pronouns — shrugged before adding, “I’m trying to get them removed. All of them."

"I want to go corporate," they said.

One of those many tattoos include the phrase "we here forever technically."

In August 2022, Lil Uzi Vert, whose real name is Symere Bysil Woods, revealed they had gotten matching tattoos with Kanye West and Steve Lacy. At the time, the trio showed off their matching tattoos in an Instagram photo.

Lacy shared the image of himself, the "Just Wanna Rock" artist and the "Stronger" rapper holding out their arms with their new ink on full display on the inside of their arms just above the elbow.

Los Angeles tattoo artist Meza Fram, who also shared the photo on her page, posed with the musicians while taking the mirror selfie on her cell phone. In two different fonts, the tattoos read, "We here forever technically."

Lacy captioned the post with the same phrase, to which Lil Uzi Vert commented, "Technically 🤷🏾‍♂️🦇"

Despite the "Neon Guts" rapper's latest declaration to remove their tattoos, Lil Uzi Vert is no stranger to body modifications.

In February 2021, the Grammy-nominated musician shared a video on Instagram showing off the massive pink diamond pierced into their forehead.

At the time, the rapper also gave followers a look at the sparkling new stone in videos on their Instagram Story. "𝕭𝖊𝖆𝖚𝖙𝖞 𝖎𝖘 𝖕𝖆𝖎𝖓 💎💕®️," they captioned the initial post, which has since been deleted from their Instagram feed.

A month prior, Lil Uzi Vert first shared their plans for a new piercing.

They wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter) in January, "I've been paying for a natural pink diamond from Elliot for years now. This one Stone cost so much I've been paying for it since 2017. That was the first time I saw a real natural pink diamond. A lot of M's in my face." They also included numerous money bag emojis and a diamond emoji in the tweet.

In September of the same year, Lil Uzi Vert told TMZ that fans ripped out the pink diamond after they dove into a crowd at the Rolling Loud music festival in July.

"I had a show at Rolling Loud and I jumped into the crowd and they kind of ripped it out," the musician told the outlet of the jewelry, which allegedly cost $24 million.

"I'm feeling good," they added, also revealing, "I still have the diamond so I feel good."
