How do you pay homage to the city that raised you? In the case of The Game, you get a tattoo across your stomach. The “Celebration” rapper went under the needle to show love to his native Compton.

He endured the pain while tattoo artist Peter Koskela applied the word “Compton” in Old English font to his heavily-tatted body.

“The stomach gotta be the most fu**ed up place to get tatted but I thugged it out,” wrote Game, who covered up a previous tattoo that said “Stretch.”

He also added a second tattoo, but he’s yet to unveil it.
