Atlanta Ink Tattoo and Art Gallery’s Tribute to Takeoff: Setting a Guinness World Record
Atlanta Ink Tattoo and Art Gallery has created a 12-foot-tall tattoo portrait honoring Takeoff, the late rapper from the iconic group Migos, now recognized as the Guinness World Record holder for the “Largest Tattoo Artwork.” This tribute, crafted in Atlanta Ink’s Grant Park studio, pays homage to the rapper tragically lost to gun violence in 2022. The team’s dedication to capturing Takeoff’s legacy resulted in a monumental piece of artwork - 12 feet high and 7 feet wide - completed with the same precision and technique as any tattoo on human skin. However, this record-breaking tattoo was created on synthetic silicone rubber skin, designed to hold ink similarly to natural skin.
Currently on display at Atlanta Ink, the piece serves as both a tribute and a source of inspiration. Co-owner Christian Verrette, when reflecting on the artwork, shared: “The Migos created a sound for an entire generation. Their creative genius shows in their art. I honestly have no intentions of doing anything with him. He’s our guardian, he watches over us, inspiring us to create greater with our art. To us, he is the Patron Saint of Creativity, or ‘Saint Take,’ if you will.”
