Woods revealed in February 2021 that they had a 10-carat pink diamond implanted in their forehead, which they had planned to do since 2017. They bought the diamond, which was valued at $24 million, from jeweler Elliot Eliantte. Woods stated that the decision was influenced by the Steven Universe cartoon, of which they are open fans, as well as fellow rapper Lil B, who has a similar implant.
Woods stated that they “could die” if their diamond is not extracted “properly.” They had the diamond removed from their forehead in June of the same year. They had it reinstalled for their performance at Rolling Loud the following month, and revealed in September that fans ripped it out while Woods was crowd surfing.

Lil Uzi Vert Tattoo
On his body, he has already made room for tattoos and artwork. Uzi, known for his infamous body morphing experiments, chose to cover up all of his old chest and back tattoos and replace them with a massive oni mask piece on his chest and samurai on his back. The samurai takes the place of the angel wings that were previously tattooed on him.
Naturally, social media weighed in on Uzi’s latest feat of body transformation, with varying opinions ranging from claiming Uzi was going to get ink poisoning due to the massive piece to rave reviews for the detail. The new chest and back tattoos aren’t the most outlandish in Uzi’s collection. He famously had a pink diamond implanted in his forehead, but the hole was later pierced together after a fan accidentally ripped the diamond out during a concert.
