It's almost as if Drake knew his U.S. fan base could use something to smile about this week.

Regardless of whether or not he got his new tattoo just for the reaction (he had to have known this one wasn't going to slide by unnoticed) or if he really, truly wanted this inked on his body forever, the rapper really committed to this idea.

The Toronto rapper was recently in the spotlight for getting matching tattoos with his summer flame, Rihanna. While their tattoo, of a small dolphin, was inarguably cute and had personal meaning for each of them, the latest addition to Drizzy's tattoo collection is seriously out of left field.

His new tattoo, of a flaming skull, truly resembles the type of temporary tattoo available in a 25 cent bubblegum machine. On top of that, it also features the word "unruly" in an Olde English typeface placed right below the skull. Needless to say, he really does take it there.

Take a look at some of the hilarious reactions fans are having to Drake's new ink in the tweets below.
