Lil Xan is a real person, really

First off, I realize I’m showing my age now by JUST finding out who Lil Xan is. All I can say about that is… I wish I never found out about him. The first images I saw were disturbing and it’s not just because of his tattooed face.

I’m trying hard not to judge because obviously I don’t know him, but if I had to sum him up in one sentence it would be this: Lil Xan is what happens when you make all the wrong choices.

Gee wiz, that sounded judgey, didn’t it?

Like that old Burger King commercial where the son said, “I wish I had never been broiled!” That’s kind of how I feel about stumbling onto this wrecked fellow. I was just watching YouTube and a video of Candace Owens popped up where she was reacting to a rude comment towards her from Noah Cyrus. I LOVE Candace. In the video, she was so well-spoken and I agree 100% with everything she said. Candace mentioned Noah having a bunch of tattoos so I looked up images of Noah. As it turns out, this is when I found out Noah dated Lil Xan for awhile. Even this was news to me. OK, yes, I’m not 20 yrs old so I don’t know everything about pop culture.

The tattooed pair were photographed together at various events, and images of him… I don’t want to say they startled me… I think disturbing is still the best word.

So now I have images of his face tattoos swirling around in my head and I can’t unsee them. Poor guy will live for the rest of his life with those. Imagine a little child looking up, “Grandpa Xan, tell me about the tattoos on your nose?” Grandpa Xan, “Well, little one, I was young and stupid once, so I got dots on my nose. Oh also, you can also see how stupid I was with this tattoo of snoring “ZZZ”s under my eye. Your grandpa was cool, huh?”

I guess I can’t help but make a grown-up judgement… if you’re thinking about a face tattoo, I’m not against them. But you better be 100 perXANt sure because getting them removed is more expensive and probably more painful. You know what, just don’t. Get a tattoo on your arm like everyone else. Also, don’t do drugs. Otherwise you’ll find yourself stuck in a life of which you XAN’t get out.
