Kid Rock, or Robert James Ritchie, is an American Grammy award winning singer hailing from Romeo, Michigan. He is known to have several tattoos on his body, with the most prominent one being the word 'Paul' on his upper left arm.
Paul Tattoo
The 'Paul' tattoo that Kid Rock has on his left arm is a tribute to a deceased cousin to whom Kid Rock was particularly close. It is widely suggested that Paul tragically took his own life.
American bad ass
Another Kid Rock tattoo that may be of significance to many of his fans is the American Eagle that adorns his upper back. The tattoo is a typical example of the 'Americana' genre of tattooing, which is a form of 'old school tattooing' recognizable by its use of heavy outlines, lack of shading, and an abundance of black or dark blue ink. Often, the subject of these tattoos will portray a particularly 'American' symbol, with a bald eagle being a perfect example.
In Kid Rock's case, the eagle flies between two banners that read 'American' and 'Bad Ass'.
This is probably a reference to the culture represented in his bourbon-swigging, country-tinged, rap rock where he adapts various aspects of biker culture, 'redneck' culture and rap culture over guitar based music.
Kid Rock also had particular success with a track named 'American Bass Ass' that appeared in his 2000 compilation 'The History of Rock'.
