Juice Wrld who unfortunately died in 2019 has explained the significance of 999 in one of his interviews. He said, “In the last book of the Bible, it says that 666 is the mark of the beast, right?” He continued to explain that triple nine represents taking any bad situation or struggle and using it as a motivation to push oneself. Fans believe that this makes sense and the meaning is as beautiful as the tattoo.
