DMX performs onstage with DJ Snake during day 1 of the 2015 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival (Weekend 2) at The Empire Polo Club on April 17, 2015 in Indio, California.
Desiree Lindstrom, who was engaged to DMX, tattooed her forearm on Friday night “Dog Love” with an X, according to gossip web site TMZ . She had Black Ink Crew star Krystal Kills do the tattoo for her in New York, the night the news of his passing broke.
Lindstrom birthed DMX’s 15th child, Exodus, in 2016. The couple got engaged at Exodus’ birthday party in 2019.
Dogs were a huge part of DMX’s artistic aesthetic, but his fiancee’s reasonings for getting inked were for more personal reasons: it’s something DMX himself used to say and she considers a dog’s love to be unconditional, much like her late fiancees.
DMX died last Friday at age 50, following a drug overdose..
