Post Malone has been accumulating face tattoos about as quickly as he's racking up hits. 

His latest, as far as we can tell, are a medieval gauntlet and ball and chain and a bloody buzzsaw blade.

In an interview with GQ, Post explained why he keeps getting face ink.

“I’m an ugly-ass muthaf*cka,” Post admitted. “It does maybe come from a place of insecurity, to where I don’t like how I look, so I’m going to put something cool on there so I can look at myself and say, ‘You look cool, kid,’ and have a modicum of self-confidence when it comes to my appearance.”

The 24-year old has quickly posted three mega-hit multi-platinum albums and he plans to drop a fourth this year, so that should also do something for his confidence.

Do you think "insecurity" when you see face tattoos?
