The rapper, who also went by the names 2Pac, or simply Pac, was renowned for his music, movie roles, poetry, and social activism. The Guinness Book of World Records recognizes Tupac Shakur as the bestselling hip-hop artist, with over 75 million albums sold around the world.

Tupac Shakur's most famous tattoo was the words THUG LIFE emblazoned across his stomach and chest, with a bullet in place of the I. Did this tattoo foreshadow his violent end?

But this was only one of Tupac's fascinating tattoo designs, like the word NOTORIOUS tattooed down his right forearm, OUTLAW on his left forearm, and a beautifully symmetrical cross tattooed across his entire back. Tupac will be missed not just for his music, but for his incredible array of body art.
