Vegan singer Moby has got his previously inked animal rights tattoo filled and adds another pro-vegan tattoo on his neck.

While the dawn of the new decade brings in new resolutions, promises and 366 empty pages to fill, Moby, the avid animal rights activist and singer wants to welcome 2020 differently.

As November is my 32 year vegan anniversary i thought i’d get a tattoo (well, technically 12 tattoos) to celebrate. I’m a vegan animal rights activist for many reasons, but ultimately because i believe at the core of my being that every animal has the right to live their own life, according to their own will. Thanks @thekatvond @highvoltagetat #veganforlife #animalrights

He had outlined the 12 letter tattoos down his arms in November to celebrate his 32^nd vegan anniversary.

I’ve been a vegan for almost 32 years, so getting this tattoo seemed like a pretty safe bet. Also, working for animal rights and animal liberation is my life’s work. And to state the obvious, it’s a double entendre…thank you @thekatvond

His other huge ‘VEGAN FOR LIFE’ tattoo drawn on his neck has company as the singer also had an inking on the back of his neck which reads: “Thou shalt not kill,” which he revealed in a separate post.

I got my first tattoo, a cross on my neck, in 1995 when i was on lollapalooza with sonic youth, beck, pavement, etc. After 24 years i thought it was time to ask @thekatvond to give it an update. Wouldn’t it be remarkable if the worlds religions agreed on this one simple edict; thou shalt not kill? Thou shalt not kill humans. Thou shalt not kill animals. Thou simply shalt not kill.

Alongside the picture, he wrote: “I got my first tattoo, a cross on my neck, in 1995 when I was on lollapalooza with sonic youth, beck, pavement, etc. After 24 years I thought it was time to ask @thekatvond to give it an update.

 Both his tattoos have managed to garner a lot of attention with fans applauding him and commending him on his dedication to animal welfare and veganism.

Even PETA couldn’t stop itself from praising the singer: “YESSS! 👏👏 Looks great! Thank you for always being a LOUD advocate for #AnimalRights — no one can ignore this message 🙌 So inspired to see what we accomplish together for animals in 2020 🎉🎉🎉,” wrote the animal welfare organization.

“Man you are GREAT. Greetings from Honduras and Panamá,” commented a fan.

“Very dynamic,” wrote another.

“Bold, literally and metaphorically 💙,” read a third.
