In late September of 2019, Herchell Carrasco was commissioned by Aaron Carter to ink a torso tattoo at the celebrity's home. Aaron mentioned Herchell's previous face tattoo work for rappers like Teka$hi69, leading to the idea of a Medusa face tattoo. Carrasco stated Aaron wanted the tattoo in the middle of his face, but was talked into getting it on the side of his face instead. Herchell said Carter was just smoking marijuana and cigarettes during the time he was there and didn't see him doing any other drugs,^[35]

After adding the Medusa, he also added 'Love' and a crescent moon tattooed on his face. When Carrasco said he was finished with the job, he claimed Aaron Carter wanted more work done,
