Business Insider

American rapper Post Malone said he was turned away at a hotel bar over the weekend because his tattoos did not meet the establishment’s dress code.
Malone and his entourage were reportedly denied entry into the QT Hotel’s rooftop bar in Perth, Australia due to his extensive face and body tattoos, which breached the venue’s dress code prohibiting “face, neck, and offensive tattoos.”
“They turned me away for my tattoos,” the musician told The West Australian. “I’ve never really experienced anything like that.”
Malone has more than 65 tattoos, including barbed wire under his hairline, the words “Always Tired” under his eyes, and two ace-of-spade cards on the corner of his forehead.
He inked Brad Pitt, K-pop stars – now he wants a law change
QT Hotels & Resorts issued a public apology soon after the incident.
“At QT, we aim to welcome everyone and celebrate the uniqueness of each individual,” the boutique hotel chain said in a statement to The Daily Mail.
“QT has been recognised for this for many years. However, on Saturday night, our third-party security did not exercise the appropriate discretion and we take full responsibility for this. We sincerely apologise to the individuals affected.”
Malone previously discussed the reasoning behind his face tattoos to GQ Style in 2020, which he chalked up to his looks.

“I’m an ugly-ass m**********r,” Malone said. “It does maybe come from a place of insecurity, to where I don’t like how I look, so I’m going to put something cool on there so I can look at myself and say, ‘You look cool, kid,’ and have a modicum of self-confidence, when it comes to my appearance.”
The musician also opened up to People that same year about his appearance.
“I sound better on the radio,” he said. “I got a face for radio I guess is what I’m really trying to say.”
