Cardi B’s feelings for her son are written all over her face.

The “WAP” singer, 30, took to Twitter yesterday to share her excitement about the tattoo tribute she got for her 1-year-old son, Wave, on the side of her jaw last summer.

“I love my face tatt” she wrote along with a red heart emoji, sharing a photo of herself wearing an elegant white gown with crystal accents from the recent McDonald’s ad she stars in with her husband, Offset, 31.

In the photo, the word “Wave” is inked along the side of her jaw in a red cursive font, showing the design clearly for the first time since she had it done in August 2022.

Twitter users were mixed on the Grammy winner’s jawline tribute.

“We love it too maaaaa,” one fan posted, while another wrote, “When you first said you’d do it I was acc scared. It came out real cute tbh. Simple and cute.”

Others weren’t so sure, like one who commented, “Young lady! That better not be permanent on such a beautiful face.”

“Please no mō face tattoos…Yō face is face tooooooooo gorgeous for that,” a fourth fan added.

Offset and Cardi B shared some fries in their new McDonald’s campaign, which was the first time the mom of two showed off her red jaw tat. McDonald’s
Her latest tattoo is also a matching moment for Cardi B and Offset; the proud dad has their 4-year-old daughter, Kulture’s, name tattooed on his jaw (although in a much larger font).

Wave’s ink joins many other pieces of art on the “I Like It” singer’s body, like Offset’s name on the back of her thigh and an enormous floral design that extends from her neck all the way down her back and booty to the top of her thigh.

The couple also have matching hand tattoos of their wedding date, which they even inked on each other.
