Since his untimely death, TakeOff has been honored in a variety of ways, but one tattoo artist and a group of his peers have taken their love and admiration for the late Migos member to new heights.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, tattoo artist J.R. Outlaw and other artists from Atlanta tattoo shops such as Atlanta Ink, Iron Palm Tattoos & Body Piercing, and Pèse Noir used a 79-foot piece of silicone skin to create a mural honoring the late Atlanta rap star.
Takeoff is depicted in the mural wearing a brown, orange, and green spacesuit.
Because of its size, the TakeOff mural was recently recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s largest tattoo artwork.
“I think Takeoff was just a big influence in the city and the culture of Atlanta, like in general,” Outlaw explained to the aforementioned outlet. “It was the entire group. They had a long-lasting impact on the city, so we just wanted to do something to honor him, and that’s really all there was to it.”
In 2022, TakeOff was shot and killed in Houston. He was 28 years old at the time.
