In the special issue, Urban Ink revisits 50 of the hottest celebrities to ever appear in the magazine in its six-year run. UI editors tell the stories of where the stars were in their careers and personal lives when they appeared in the magazine, and also give the readers an update on what their favorite tattooed celebrities are up to these days. Take a look back at acts like Jacki-O, Jim Jones, Persia White, The Game, Birdman, Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Danny Trejo, Trina, 2 Chainz, J.R. Smith, Busta Rhymes, Keyshia Cole and Daniel Gibson, Nicki Minaj, Wale, Trey Songz, Yelawolf, Slaughterhouse, Fabolous, Ludacris, Lil’ Scrappy, Rick Ross, Waka Flocka Flame, and many, many more.
Urban Ink also linked up with Atlanta recording artist, B.o.B, at a posh London nightclub for a spicy photo shoot with two bangin’ UK-based models. In a glossy, eight-page spread, B.o.B tells us the stories behind his tattoos—including that of his first meeting with the ink needle, which happened immediately after signing to Atlantic Records.
