In the song “Nobody” by Juice WRLD and Eminem, the second verse talks about Eminem’s character getting his first tattoo: “So I get my first tattoo, cause I feel like nobody loves me.” The tattoo is an ode to how he felt at the time: sad, lonely, unmotivated, and depressed. The tattoo was likely of a broken heart, symbolizing his inner feelings of despair and hopelessness. It was a permanent reminder of the emptiness he felt, and a cry for help. For Eminem and many listeners of this song, the tattoo meant strength and resilience– a reminder that though no one else can feel his pain, he could still turn to himself for comfort. Ultimately, it was a reminder that he could pick himself back up and move on.
