Man getting massage: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A man with dark skin closing his eyes in relaxation while receiving a head massage. His hands are placed near his temples as if he is feeling the relief of professional therapy.

Usage Context

Used to signal a need for downtime, self-care, or recovery after a long day. People frequently send this to show they are heading to the spa or simply to emphasize that they are trying to let go of work-related stress. It is often paired with 💆 or 🧖‍♂️ to describe a full day of pampering.

History

The base massage emoji was introduced in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. The gender-specific and skin-tone modifier versions were added later in 2016 as part of the Emoji 4.0 update, which aimed to provide better representation for users across different platforms.
