Waka Flocka Flame is giving new meaning to the tattoos.

The 24-year-old Atlanta rapper will be working with People for Ethical Treatment for Animals (PETA) on their “Ink, Not Mink” campaign.

The campaign is a new twist from the recent PETA ads, which have showcased nude photos of celebrities who would rather go naked than wear fur. In their new advertisements, the organization brings the focus on animal mistreatment through an alternative option. Celebrities in the campaign speak out on the issue by claiming to choose body art over animal furs. Waka Flocka Flame joins Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, and Pink.

“Animals should be treated the same way as you would a kid,” Waka Flocka told XXL. “Would you want someone just to walk up and skin your kid? Hell no!”

The campaign will launch on February 22 in Los Angeles.
