Left Hand
The forearm of his left arm is adorned with a skull composition in the form of a flyswatter with the words "Ronnie RIP" on it. Previously, the phrase "Slim Shady" was in this place, around which the new tattoo was applied. This came after the suicide of his uncle Ronnie Pilkington in 1991, who meant a lot in the star's life. The inimitable style of the image was chosen to commemorate his childhood and youth in a dysfunctional neighborhood, so flies, fire, and buildings were used.
An image of a gothic "Tribal" bracelet, the meaning of which is a mystery to Eminem himself, is imprinted on his wrist. According to him, he made it while he was extremely intoxicated, and he doesn't remember the meaning. The bracelet looks interesting and stylish. The Gothic style of imagery is often used for tattoos on the back or leg.
The back of his hand is decorated with a tattoo with the inscription Proof. It is dedicated to his friend, together with whom he performed in the band D12. In 2006 Proof was tragically killed by a bullet. This inscription became Eminem's last tattoo.

Right forearm:"Portrait of a Daughter."
.
Eminem's very touching and most elaborate tattoo. It used to have the usual "EMINEM" inscription on it, but it was covered with roses. At the top there is a picture of Em's daughter Hayley, the tattoo is very beautiful, clear and realistic. At the bottom there is a car and the inscription "Bonnie & Clyde", I think everyone knows their story, Em once again shows his love for his daughter with this comparison.
It's not an easy tattoo to get, and Marshall probably didn't spend much on it.
Right hand:
"Hailie Jade."
.
Another tattoo dedicated to Hailie. Marshall got it right after his daughter was born. Originally, the tattoo was just an inscription, but after some time it was finished by putting the inscription in an ancient scroll, which made the tattoo more effective and beautiful.
It pisses Eminem off when journalists misspell his daughter's name, let it serve as a cheat sheet for them.
Left wrist:
"Tribal Sign."
.
One of Em's first tattoos, when the rapper is asked about it, he says he doesn't even remember when he got it because he was drunk at the time.
Right and Left Hand:
"D12"
.
Tattoo with the name of Eminem's band, D12 ("Dirty Dozen").
Stomach:
"Rot In Pieces."
.
This is the tattoo Em got when he first broke up with Kim. It depicts a tombstone with her name in the background of the sky with a full moon. "Rot In Pieces" is a modification of the standard "Rest In Peace (R.I.P.)" inscription, which means "Rest in Peace," the modified version sounds like "Decompose in Pieces"... It's not hard to see how angry Marshall was at her...
Left forearm:
"Ronnie RIP."
.
The tattoo is in honor of Ronnie's uncle, who committed suicide in 1991. Eminem took his loss hard, as he was the closest person in the family who always supported him.
Like the previous forearm, this too had its own tattoo, the inscription "Slim Shady" was on this place, however, it did not disappear, it was brought in line with the design.
The tattoo is very complicated and was obviously not done in one session. The theme may seem strange, but it is done well and beautifully.
Right wrist:
"Slit Me."
.
One of Em's most cheerful tattoos, translation: "Cut me. It's fun, isn't it?)
Left hand:
"Proof."
.
To date, this is Em's latest tattoo. It was done in memory of Marshall's best friend, D12 founding member Pruf, who was killed by a gunshot to the head on April 11, 2006. Pruf himself had the exact same tattoo.
Em said he was done with tattoos: "I won't be getting tattoos anymore, but if the need arises, I still have a clean back."

The forearm is decorated with a portrait of Eminem's daughter with the phrase Bonnie & Clyde, roses and a picture of the couple's car. In this way he shows his love and affection by associating it with Bonnie and Clyde's feelings.
On his wrist there is a Slit Me tattoo, which translates to "Cut Me. It is complemented by an arrow pointing to the veins. This tattoo serves as a reminder of the plight of loved ones and Eminem's repeated attempts to commit suicide. He attempted to cut his veins, and the direction of the arrow points to the scars, warning and guarding against further mistakes.
Eminem also features a tattoo split across both arms, D12. This is the acronym for the rapper's project Dirty Dozen. All members of this group have such an inscription.
According to Eminem, he will no longer do tattoos, as there is no room for them. Has the rapper really stopped or will new images appear on his body, we will find out later.
What we should all learn from Eminem
Set unattainable goals and achieve them.
Eminem is a classic, by all drama books, underdog. For a general understanding of the situation: before him, white people in rap either acted like carpetbaggers (see Vanilla Ice) or pretended to be Latino (see Everlast) - even the thought of becoming one of their own in the mid-nineties seemed like savagery. For a dysfunctional, white, and nerdy (about that below) teenager from Detroit to become what Eminem is today is like for any of the readers (and writers) of this site to win the Oscar for Lead Actor. Eminem alone is worth a thousand motivational business books: if he succeeded, any of us can succeed. But only on one condition.
To snap back and rise to his feet when it comes flying in from all sides.
I love this biographical story and retell it often. So, let's imagine that you are Eminem at the dawn of his creative career. That being said:
- you are three months behind on your mortgage payments for a dirty trailer, and you have to hide from the bailiffs; - the trailer is regularly robbed by Negroes, junkies, and Negro junkies - and there's not much to take, so one of the robbers opened the refrigerator, made himself a sandwich, ate it, and fell asleep on the floor; - At this time your pregnant wife of seventeen years is crying in the closet - and my mother is drunk somewhere in the neighborhood and did not care about anything at all - finally, soon you are kicked out of the honorable position of dishwasher in the local leper shop - without severance pay - four days before the daughter's birthday - which just happens to be on Christmas - with twenty dollars in his pocket.
We are Russian (and even sometimes Russian) people. Behind one shoulder we always have Dostoevsky, behind the other, Leo Tolstoy. At the back shines spirituality. In the situation described, any one of us would do two things in sequence: get drunk on denatured alcohol and get his hands on himself. Eminem instead continued to go to neighborhood rap battles, where he was routinely smeared on the walls (and often physically beaten) by Negroes. Until one thing happened.
When the chance came, don't miss it anymore.
As another performer sings, "At first everybody fought Anton, but soon Anton got tired of this stinking role." All hatred, energy and anger accumulated in the previous paragraph, Eminem directed not inside himself (see Tolstoyevsky), but on his battles rivals - any great success in any sphere is inseparable from aggression. That wave took Eminem to the finals of the Rap Olympics All-American Freestyle Contest in Los Angeles, where he was noticed by Interscope label creator Jimmy Iovine. Then everything went according to the classic scheme: Jovine gave the tape to Dr. Dre, who immediately cut off all the phones at 8 Mile Trailer Park, looking for the young talent. All the aggression of a thousand disses crystallized into the debut The Slim Shady LP, a music business juggernaut that sold 21 million copies (and was downloaded three more times for free). Eminem has built himself into the music industry seamlessly, as if he had always been there. By comparison, in 1999, when the Slim Shady LP came out, the Bad Balance band led by Vlad Valov had already released their fourth studio album, Jungle City, and were recording its smashing sequel, Stone Forest.
Don't get fucked up.
Eminem is the only one of the big rap singers who has never, in any song, uttered a single word about how much money he has (hello, Jay-Z and especially 50 Cent), how he wears Tom Ford suits and Balenciaga bags (hello, Kanye West and young dudes like A$AP Rocky) and how he spins the world at a famous place (hello, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne). He had more money than all of us put together, and he was spinning the world in exactly the same place. This is a very clever strategic move - in public to remain an underdog, a loser, and an over-excited Detroit teenager, when, in general, life has been a success for a long time. It makes it easier for all of us to associate with him. That's why we all want to raise our middle fingers on both hands at the first bars of "The Real Slim Shady.
To do what you do, every time, like it's the last time.
And here you just have to listen to the single Rap God from the fresh Marshall Mathers LP2 - and constantly keep in your head that this man is forty-one years old, that his daughter is soon eighteen, and she's a beautiful successful blonde, and that all his life issues have been long and firmly resolved.
The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is on sale from November 5.

Eminem's daughter made a cameo as a non-binary person: "Call me Stevie."
Stevie/Eminem.
No sooner have the passions over the recent suicide attempt by Eminem's ex-wife, 46-year-old Kimberly Ann Scott, subsided than news of the 48-year-old rapper's family is back on the agenda. This time, the media spotlight was on Kimberly's 19-year-old daughter Whitney, whom Eminem adopted as a girl. Whitney recently came out as a non-binary person and asked to be called Stevie. She made the announcement on TikTok, and the family backed her up.
Stevie
Stevie posted a slideshow of photos of himself as a teenager with the caption "she," which then changed to actual photos with the word "they." Stevie allows himself to be addressed in the masculine gender (using the pronoun "he") and feminine gender ("she"), as well as the plural ("they").

Posting photos of himself with a short haircut and nose piercing, Stevie wrote, "Watch me get more confident" and "I'm constantly growing and changing," putting the hashtags "gender fluid," "bi" and "non-binary" in several posts. Stevie Haley's sister Jade, 25, tagged the post with the non-binary statement, expressing her support.
In 2021, Stevie declared his bisexuality.
Recall that Eminem adopted the teen formerly known as Whitney in 2005 after reuniting with Whitney's mother, Kimberly Ann Scott, after a long separation. Their rekindled union, however, didn't last long, but even after the breakup, the rapper never stopped caring for their children together: adopted Whitney and native Hayley Jade. The rapper has another adopted daughter, Alaina, whose mother, twin sister Kimberly Dawn Scott, died of a drug overdose.
Kimberly and Eminem.
Stevie had a difficult fate. Kimberly gave birth to Stevie six months after her divorce from Eminem in 2001 - at which time Eminem was already the father of Haley. The rapper adopted Stevie in 2005, after reconciling with his ex-wife Kimberly, and has previously talked about how he wanted to provide a stable environment for his child, though it wasn't easy. Stevie's mother, Kimberly, is prone to depression and has attempted suicide on more than one occasion. Stevie's biological father, tattoo artist Eric Hartter, died of a drug overdose in 2021.
Haley Jade.
Eminem has tried to shield his children from media attention, only once did he give an interview to Rolling Stone in 2004, where he talked about parenting and his ex-wife, a substance abuser.
You can't let your child feel like it's their fault for what's going on. You just have to let him know, "Mom's got a problem, she's sick, and it's not because she doesn't love you. She loves you, but she's sick now, and until she gets better, you have Daddy. And I'm here."
- the rapper talked about his ways of raising his children.
Recall that Stevie's mother, Kimberly, was hospitalized again two weeks ago after a suicide attempt. Kim's aggravation reportedly began amid worries over her mother's death in late July and chronic depression.
