The love between celebrity super siblings Ray J and Brandy is something the dynamic duo have never tried to hide.

While other celebrity families go out of their way to hide their bonds for fear of nepotism claims, the Norwoods are all about being one another's biggest fans.


Ray, in particular, has always been incredibly supportive of Brandy. But not just supportive of her—it could be argued that Mr. William Ray Norwood, Jr. (yup, that's Ray J.s full name) has been her biggest fan and loudest hype man since his birth.

Brandy has been performing since she was two and Ray J. was most often right there with her to cheer her on.

He's even got some tattoos to celebrate his big sis.

There's the piece on his arm; it features her name written in the same font as the cover of the 1994 album that made her a household name and rocket-launched her career.

And now he's got a portrait of her face on his leg. Before you "awww" and text your siblings about how crappy they are in comparison, you should maybe read more about this portrait.

Or, like, watch the video...


Done by artist Mashkow, the piece starts with a gorgeous black and gray portrait of the singer/actresses face... then Mashkow and Ray J got creative.

They added some face tattoos across her cheeks, a larger brightly colored one across her forehead, and hot pink to the whites of her eyes - which, when healed on Ray Js skin tone, makes them look totally bloodshot.

The video is, unintentionally, a clip that kills the myth that color tattoos don't work on darker skin and demonstrates exactly how it's done.

The video is also creeping folks out.

The quality of the art and color work in this tattoo is spectacular. It's the content that people seem to take issue with.

Brandy has a reputation for being classy, dignified, and somewhat wholesome. This art is a major departure from that.

Is Ray trying to tell the world something? Or is he casting his sister as a character in some larger story that will play out in the rest of the tattoos he has planned for that leg?

We'll have to wait and see; but for now anyone worried that Brandy might be offended by this portrayal can rest easy.

Heart emoji approval granted.

Would you be flattered or fuming if your sibling got your fave tattooed on them in this way?

Jesse Watters' Fox News Cohosts Call Out His 'Creepy' Rant About 'High-Value Man' Stephen Miller

Fox News personality Jesse Watters weirded out his own co-hosts after he claimed that New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez secretly wants to sleep with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller after she "short-shamed" him.

In an Instagram livestream earlier this week, Ocasio-Cortez said “one of the best ways that you can dismantle a movement of insecure men is by making fun of them." She called Miller "a clown" and suggested he—the architect of President Donald Trump's immigration policies—takes out his anger on others because he's "like, 4 feet 10 inches."

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Trolls Trump For Struggling To Stay Awake During Antifa Roundtable

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump for appearing to fall asleep during a White House roundtable about Antifa, which the administration recently designated a "domestic terror organization" even though it's not an organization at all.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
