Post Malone is known for his body art, particularly the tattoos on his face.

The 23 year old has barbed wire inked on his forehead, 'Stay Away' over his right eyebrow, a sword down the side of his face, and perhaps the most controversial - 'Always Tired' under his eyes.

In a recent interview at Wireless Festival in the UK, he confessed he got the tattoos to rile up his mam.

DJ and presenter Tim Westwood told Post that his "face tat game is intense" and the rapper replied:

"Anything to piss my mom off."

Tim laughed and said "I bet it does" and Post admitted "It sure does".
