Stories and Meanings behind Mac Miller’s Tattoos

Malcolm James McCormick, professionally known as Mac Miller was an American rapper, singer, and record producer. He was born in January 19, 1992 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Miller began his career in the city’s hip-hop scene in 2007, at the age of fifteen. He signed a record deal with Pittsburgh-based indie label Rostrum Records in 2010. His breakthrough came with the mixtapes K.I.D.S. (2010) and Best Day Ever (2011), including the single “Donald Trump”. Miller’s debut studio album “Blue Slide Park” (2011) reached number-one on the US Billboard 200, the first independently distributed debut album to top the chart since 1995.

Miller signed a record deal with Warner Bros. Records in October 2014 and released three studio albums: GO:OD AM (2015), The Divine Feminine (2016), and Swimming (2018). He also served as a record producer under the pseudonym Larry Fisherman, producing music for SZA, Vince Staples, Lil B, Ab-Soul, Riff Raff, Smoke DZA, and himself. He is posthumously nominated for Best Rap Album at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards for Swimming.

Miller struggled with substance abuse, which was often referenced in his lyrics. He was found dead of a drug overdose in September 2018, at his home in Los Angeles.

Mac Miller’s tattoos and their meanings

Miller had quite a collection of tattoos but he never had a face tattoo. He dedicated a full leg just for stupid tattoos.

He joked about being on the Guinness book of records for the most tattooed man. Miller told in an interview that “Sometimes, with tattooing, people get too lost in the meaning.

    Heart capsule? 🤨😂
    It’s called a “Sacred Heart.”
    🌹🔥❣️🩸🌹
    Pretty much all Catholic Churches (even some vanilla Christian churches) display the sacred heart in one form or another.
    Oh and…………. no hard feelings.
    Not everyone’s had the subliminal & symbolic catholic mind control impieties to confuse their faith.
    Yeah… uhh… and that “fairy” is an angel… fairies aren’t the only flying humanoids that can have more than one pair of wings.
    🚫🧚⚠️🧚🏼‍♀️⚠️🧚🏿‍♂️🚫
    Anyway… these things used to be common knowledge… I’m starting to realize why people are being so easily deceived these days. Y’all need to read up before it’s too late. I’m scared for you all. 😈⛪️👹

    I totally agree. Also, that so-called ‘native american tribal eagle’ is just the logo of American Spirit tobacco.

    You’re both wrong… Its a thunder bird. It is an indigenous tattoo. They are top of the totem pole and have deep spiritual meanings. Thunder bird is held in high regard and very sacred. It probably is the logo of cigarettes but…that’s not why he got this. Educate
