Post Malone has a lot of plans for the new year -- and it sounds like it involves more ink on his mug ... this after debuting a brand new tat his mom may or may not approve.
The singer was in NYC Tuesday showing off his new face tattoo, which was glistening in the sun after a fresh shave. A photog tracked him down and asked him about it -- apparently, Post's had this one in the brain chamber for a while and finally pulled the trigger.
It also sounds like it hurt like hell, considering how intricate it is.
