Nicki Minajs boyfriend Kenneth Petty has permanently marked his love for the star by getting a large tattoo of her first name inked on his neck.
The couple only went Instagram official earlier this month but have been inseparable ever since, gushing about one another online and even reportedly talking marriage and babies.
Now, the Barbie Dreams singer has revealed her beau has gone a step further by having her birth name, Onika, tattooed in large pink and black script across the side of his neck.
Showing off the new ink in an Instagram video, Nicki can be seen checking herself out before turning the camera onto Kenneth and his new tat.
In the footage, Nicki can be heard asking: Did your tat hurt? to which Kenneth replies: Nah.

She captioned the post: Did ya tat hurt zaddy? His first tat- frontin like it didnt sting #Onika #HeavyOnIt #SuperSleezy.
Its the latest public show of affection for the new couple, who made their relationship Instagram official on 10 December.
Nicki shared an image of herself with her leg draped over her new man while quoting the lyrics to Adeles Hello.
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happens?… its no secret… that the both of us… are running out of time… she wrote.
While the romance is fairly new, the pair have reportedly hardly spent a minute apart, with the 40-year-old joining Nicki for her 36th birthday celebrations in Turks and Caicos and New York.
However, the Anaconda hitmaker has been forced to defend her new relationship after it emerged Kenneth has attempted rape and manslaughter convictions.
Nickis boyfriend is reportedly a level two registered sex offender, which means he is a moderate risk of repeat offence. He was placed on the register after a 1995 conviction for attempted rape in the first degree over an incident that occurred with a 16-year-old girl and served between 18 to 54 months in prison.
In 2006, Kenneth also pleaded guilty to first degree manslaughter over the shooting death of a man named Lamont Robinson four years earlier. He was released in May 2013 and was under supervision until May this year.

Giving more details on the conviction, Nicki added: He was 15, she was 16 … in a relationship. But go awf, internet.
