“Last night at the Sprint Center in KC,” Ruben wrote alongside one of the photos, which appear to be taken backstage during the Kansas City, Missouri leg of Malone’sRunaway Tour.
The tattoo artist also documented the process on his Instagram Stories, reposting several videos of the process. And despite the unique placement and thin skin that protects the cheekbone, Malone looked calm and collected throughout the session.
Photographer and videographerAdam DeGrosscaptured the moment and shared a series of behind-the-scenes snaps onInstagram.
His new ink comes just less than two months after the staradded a tattoo of a medieval gauntlet holding a flailto the right side of his face along his jawline and down to his chin.
Hours before taking the stage for a live New Year’s Eve performance in New York City’s Times Square on Dec. 31, the “Circles” singer, 24, shared a photo toInstagram of his latest tat.
“Have a good ass new year??” Malone captioned the photo, snapped in his hotel room bathroom.
Tattoo artist Kyle Hediger did the intricate art piece, posting an up-close look at Malone’s face afterwards to his own Instagram account.
Malone famously inked the phrase “Always tired” on his face in 2018,positioning the first word under his right eye and the second under his left. Both are written in swirly script font (and strategically placed to conceal any dark circles he might have!)

DeGross captured the moment Malone got the tattoos from artist Chad Rowe and also shared the first shot of the final product, writing “this is happening right now,” alongside the close-up snap.
The star also has the image of a sword tatted down one of his temples, as well as his other “forever mood” permanently marked over his right eyebrow that reads: “Stay Away.”
