Nicki Minaj is channeling her inner gangster for the forthcoming 'Senile' music video. Putting her glamorous, over-the-top look aside, the fashionista goes for a very West Coast vibe, complete with tattoos on her stomach, a red bandana and dramatic eye makeup.

"Ha! #chola," the rapper wrote as the caption to one of her looks on Instagram. She also shouted out Moschino and Jeremy Scott as two designers she rocks in the dramatic visual. Artist Nat Wood did the honors of inking the head Barb with a fake tattoo for the shoot.

These aren't the first photos to come from the 'Senile' shoot. Earlier, Lil Wayne was spotted hanging with a color-coordinated family in a scene for the same music video.

‘Senile,' which features Minaj, Wayne and Tyga, is featured on the new compilation ‘Young Money: Rise of an Empire.’
