Doin' Cosby Proud

The Game (a hip-hop recording artist) is changing his life, and to represent his transformation, he has tatooed a butterfly on his face. It sits opposite an older tatoo of a tear.

Only The Game can explain it all adequately, so we'll step aside and give him the post:

Man, it just represents new life. I got the teardrop on some bad s**t, stupid s**t don't even gotta go there but ”“ it's new life, man. After the shooting and s**t, and Hot 97, and all that, donatin' money to the kids, [and] my son's birthday. And then I felt like, if in 2001 after I woke up out the coma and s**t; if a n***a wouldn't a made it, if I [would've] died, I wouldn't have---you know what I'm saying? Like, the Hip-Hop world, wouldn't know Game, man. [There] wouldn't be my son, he wouldn't be alive, it wouldn't be nothin', man. So, it's all about new life. I know mothaf**kers is questionin' my ethics on the tattoo, 'cause, y'know, the s**t is a butterfly on my cheek, but, y'know, you gotta know what it mean.
