Nasty C’s Springbok Tattoo

In a recent Instagram post, Nasty C unveiled his new Springbok tattoo, captioning it, “I bleed BlackWhiteYellowGreenRed&Blue. Psychic.” This phrase symbolizes unity and diversity, aligning with South Africa’s “Rainbow Nation” identity. The Springbok, South Africa’s national animal, embodies grace, agility, and resilience. By choosing this symbol, Nasty C pays homage to his heritage and the nation’s spirit.

This tattoo adds to Nasty C’s collection of meaningful body art. Notably, he has an “Ivyson” tattoo, a tribute to his late mother, Ivy. The name combines “Ivy” and “son,” signifying his identity as her son. Additionally, his left hand features an eye, the letter V, and a sun, collectively spelling “Ivyson.” These tattoos commemorate his mother and inspired the name of his first tour, the Ivyson Tour.

On his left forearm, Nasty C sports a detailed eye with birds and an ivy vine. This piece represents his connection to his mother and his roots. Another significant tattoo is a DNA symbol intertwined with tree roots on his abdomen, symbolizing his Zulu heritage and pride in his culture.

Nasty C’s tattoos are more than artistic expressions; they narrate his journey, values, and deep connections to family and culture. Each piece serves as a visual representation of his identity and personal history.
