Ronnie Radke Tattoos

Unusual for rock stars, Radke has countless tattoos on his body. He has practically no room on his body for more, a possible reason why he chose his face for his latest tattoo, which is the word unbreakable written on his forehead. Ronnie has the Rolls-Royce logo on the right side of his eye. He also has a shark on the right side of his head and on his body a frog shred riding a horse.

In an exclusive interview with tattoo.com Ronnie revealed some facts about his tattoos.

INTERVIEWER: “Absolutely. They are obviously covered with tattoos; tell us about some of your personal favorites and the artists who brought them to life.”

RONNIE: “I worked with this guy named Oz in Vegas. I also worked with this guy named Chance in Florida, who flew to my house and stayed to get tattooed. My favorite piece will always be the piece that I have on my neck that says “Dad” on it because my dad raised me as a single dad.

However, Ronnie had some advice for his fans regarding tattoos. He said, “Don’t tattoo yourself in the face until you know you’re going to make a lot of money. “
