R&B crooner Lloyd’s fourth studio album, ‘King of Hearts’, is out this week. To celebrate it’s release, the ‘Lay It Down’ singer got a tattoo that covers the back of his head. During a recent promotional stop to BET’s 106th & Park, Lloyd gave the inspiration behind his new ink.

Granted Ms. Lloyd is still, free, and finding herself, anyone who knows the industry knows image consistency is key (at least per project). Just ask Rihanna and that dusty red wig.
