Drake's dad just took fatherly pride to a whole new level!

Dennis Graham took a page out of his son's book and decided to tattoo a picture of the rapper's face on his arm. As you may know, Drake himself has several tattoos of family, friends and icons, including: Lil Wayne, Denzel Washington, Aaliyah and even his father's mug shot. 

Dennis looked to celebrity tattoo artist Money Mike for the new ink, which is features the rapper looking over his shoulder and giving that Drake look we all know and love.

Money Mike opened up to E! News about the process, explaining, "I went to Drake's dad's birthday party and we were talking tattoos and it so happened that he wanted to get one. So I was persistent with him and a few days after we did the session and that was that."

He continued, "It was Dennis' idea. The birthday party was two weekends ago, and we did the tattoo session this past Monday. It was at his house. Drake wasn't there."

As for the finaly result? Money Mike said, "[Dennis] loved the tattoo. He was absolutely amazed by it."

Speaking of new ink, last week Drake immortalized Denzel Washington with a tattoo of the actor's character Bleek Gilliam from the 1990 film Mo' Better Blues tatted onto his arm by Toronto-based tattoo artist Inal Bersekov. 

But what was Drake's inspiration behind the ink? Bersekov told E! News that the rapper said Mo' Better Blues is one of his all-time favorites, adding, "That movie kind of inspired him."
