Rapper Cardi B has given fans a glimpse of her brand-new face tattoo.

Last month, hairstylist Luis Santana shared a video showing the 'I Like It' rapper getting red ink added to her jawline during a visit to a tattoo studio.

While Cardi, 29, didn't share any further details at the time, she revealed the full design during an Instagram Live on Saturday.

Lifting her hair to show off her new body art, the star explained that she decided to have her 12-month-old son Wave's name inked in red cursive script on her face.

"I tatted my son's name because I love him," she said of her little boy, whom she shares with her husband Offset, one third of the rap trio Migos. 

In addition, Cardi shared she also had a new tribute inked for her four-year-old daughter Kulture.

"And I tatted my daughter's name," the hitmaker explained, gesturing to the design in cursive script on her arm.

Earlier this year, the hip-hop star teased her plans to get a face tattoo.

"Random but ....I'm 1% close too tatting my sons name on my face....I really really wanna do it [sic]," she tweeted.
