Amber Rose shocked fans on Monday when she took to the Republican conference to endorse Donald Trump for president.
But what also got people talking was the tattoo on her forehead - and there's a surprising meaning behind it.
The model, 40, paid tribute to her two kids Sebastian Thomaz and Slash Edwards with the inking, which reads 'Bash Slash'.
When she unveiled the tattoo in 2020, Amber revealed to Fox Soul TV why she chose it - and it came after the tragic death of Kobe Bryant.
'I gotta be honest, and I don't want this to sound corny, but after Kobe [Bryant] died it made me reflect on my life,' she said.

Unveiling the tattoo on Instagram in 2020, Amber wrote: 'For the people that are telling me I'm too pretty for a face tat are the same people that would tell me that I'm 'too pretty' even if they thought I was ugly and lie to me Lol.
'Or they would just tell me I'm ugly so either way the moral of the story is do whatever the f*** you want in life - muva.'
On Monday, Amber claimed to the Republican National Convention that former President Donald Trump is 'the best chance we have to give our babies a better life.'
Rose, the ex-girlfriend of Kanye West and ex-wife of Wiz Khalifa, explained to the Milwaukee that she had a change of heart about Trump after doing some research and attending some rallies.
She was one of the handful of speakers Trump captured in-person Monday night, as he sat in a box at the Fiserv Forum, with a bandaged ear, looking smitten.
'I realised Donald Trump and his supporters don't care if you're black, white, gay or straight, it's all love,' Rose said. 'And that's when it hit me, these are my people, this is where I belong.'
She said her experience with Trump's 'red-hat wearing supporters' made her change her tune.

'So I let go of my fear of judgement, of being misunderstood, of getting attacked by the left and I put the red hat on too,' she said.
Fans of Amber were furious in May when she posted a photo of her posing with Trump, 77, and his wife Melania, 54, at a black-tie event.
Rose stated in the caption, 'Trump 2024 ususus,' which lead to a slew of backlash from fans in the comments.
She has long been an advocate for women's rights - creating Slutwalk in 2015 in an effort to end rape culture and victim blaming.
Many are seeing her endorsement of Trump as hypocritical, given his multiple sexual harassment allegations and him being instrumental in abolishing Roe v. Wade.
Fans wrote: 'Imagine being an "advocate" for women’s rights and endorsing Trump and his party who reversed Roe V Wade. Wild,';
'AMBER, HE’S LITERALLY AGAINST EVERYTHING YOU STAND FOR! WTF?!?!?!'
While another fan brought up her feud with Joseline Hernandez on College Hill: Celebrity Edition, adding: 'As Joseline said , You really just wana be a white girl.'

Rose and Hernandez clashed over race, and when Hernandez said she, 'really wanna be white girl,' Rose appeared to strike her, though the footage was not shown.
Some well known faces also came out against her endorsement.
Producer, actor and lawyer Nathan Hale Williams said: 'Unfollow with the quickness. He is against everything I thought you stood for. Bye girl.'
Meanwhile, actor and activist Amber Whittington added: 'Damn Amber… You’re a Bisexual woman of color that runs a movement that stands up for Women's rights and their power against anyone that abuses it….that's literally OPPOSITE of what he supports…smdh.'
Blakely Nieman Thornton said: 'Go to sleep babe, you’re drunk,' while actress Vivica A. Fox added, 'WTF?? #GURLBYE'.
Ru Paul's Drag Race season eight winner Bob The Drag Queen added: 'AMBER?!?!?! WTF.'
