Posted by DMX’s fiancée Desiree Lindstrom has already memorialized the late rap legend with some fresh ink in the wake of his death. New York-based tattoo artist, Krystal Kills, showed off her latest work on Lindstrom’s wrist in honor of X on Sunday (April 11).
“I feel honored to be able to do this memorial but also saddened,” the Black Ink Crew member wrote. “Your light was unmatchable. @desi123love I pray you find your way through these dark times, and remember the love you had for each other will forever be untethered.
She continued. “I’m glad I got to witness it. The world lost an icon but also a great father. Praying for your family. REST IN POWER DMX. Thanks for inspiring us, and giving Yonkers a voice. You moved the world and left your mark. The city misses you.”
