Drake is “Over” his father’s arm tattoo of him. The 35-year-old Canadian rapper took to Instagram to make a joke about his formerly estranged father, Dennis Graham‘s, tattoo of his face he got in 2017, which shows Drake looking a bit more serious than he’d prefer. “@TheRealDennisG I was just sitting here thinking why you do me like this we family,” Drake wrote in the caption of his Instagram post, which showed the tattoo.

Dennis, 67, commented on the photo and admitted he spent a lot of time fixing up the botched ink. “Hahaha I had 16 people to try and straighten this out,they’re hurting me,” he replied. In another comment, he sweetly added, “I love you … and miss you”.
The doting dad originally got the ink in 2017 by Money Mike, who raved about his work in a Tumblr post at the time. “Had the honor and privilege of tattooing @champagnepapi fathers portrait on the man himself @therealdennisg thank you again Dennis for the hospitality and for letting me do this for ya. CHUUUCH!” he exclaimed on the website alongside a photo of his artwork.
