PlaqueboyMax has the internet talking once again. The popular streamer recently unveiled a new tattoo that reads DIVA, sparking plenty of reactions across social media. While some fans questioned the meaning behind the ink, Max later addressed the chatter during a livestream, explaining why he decided to get it.
On Tuesday, June 9, PlaqueboyMax took to social media to give fans a first look at his latest tattoo. The streamer shared a shirtless mirror selfie on social media, showing off the fresh ink placed along his ribcage. The tattoo features the word DIVA written in all capital letters. Max later followed up with a TikTok video, giving viewers a closer look at the tattoo and putting the new addition on full display. The reveal quickly made its rounds online, with fans and critics alike sharing their thoughts on the unexpected choice.
The new tattoo arrives shortly after PlaqueboyMax made headlines for his diamond face piercings, which also sparked debate across social media. During a recent livestream, Max addressed some of the backlash surrounding his latest body art while showing off the tattoo to a friend. As they discussed the online reactions, the friend first questioned whether the tattoo was real before asking what the word “DIVA” meant to him.
In response, Max explained that the tattoo symbolizes confidence and his unapologetic self.
Im a bad b****. Im going to do whatever I want on some fly sh**, he said. Bad b****** are the most confident people in the world.
Max went on to suggest that some people have been trying to label him or question his masculinity because of the tattoo. However, he made it clear that the ink reflects his confidence and willingness to do what he wants, regardless of outside opinions.
Social media users chimed in on The Shade Room Teens’ comment section with reactions to Max’s explanation.
