Foot Tattoos

Michelle Branch

Michelle Branch got a star tattooed on her right foot in celebration of being nominated for a Grammy Award.  She earned two nominations in 2003 at the age of 19.  She and Carlos Santana won Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for their hit “The Game of Love.” She was also nominated for Best New Artist but lost to Norah Jones.

“I would get a tattoo at different career milestones—having a record go gold or platinum, stuff like that,” she told Inked Magazine. “It was so surreal. Everything on my first record happened so fast, and no one knew what to expect. To be nominated for a Grammy completely caught me off guard because I was this teen artist, and it meant that all of my peers and people I looked up to were recognizing what I was doing. It was the most flattering thing. I never dreamed of being there—I never, ever thought I’d be nominated. I wasn’t old enough to drink, so I got tattoos instead.”

Kelly Osbourne

Kelly Osbourne has a pair of blue skull and crossbone tattoos on the top of her feet.  They are a male and female — the left skull has a yellow lighting bolt on the forehead while the right has a red bow. Her mother Sharon Osbourne was reportedly angry when Kelly got the ink in 2003, especially because it lacked any meaning: “I was just like, ‘No, no more tattoos. And skull and crossbones – like, what does it mean… you’re a pirate? What is this indicating? What message does this send out?’ She says, ‘Nothing.'” Now Kelly agrees with her mom. In 2010 she told Anderson Cooper “They’re stupid, I know,” and said that she regrets most of her tattoos.

Kellie Pickler

The “Faye” tattoo on Kellie Pickler’s foot is the name of her grandmother. Kellie has a special relationship with her grandma, who she says “was like my mom and my best friend.” Kellie was abandoned by her mother at the age of two and her father was in and out of jail, so she was raised by her grandparents.

Faye died in 2002 and Kellie honored her with the tattoo in 2008. Kellie also wrote a song “My Angel” dedicated to her grandmother, a characterization which is shown with a halo on the tattoo. She told Maxim magazine, “My grandmother would be mortified if she knew I had these [tattoos]. She’s passed away now, but she would say, ‘Tattoos are the devil!’ So my first tattoo, of course, was my grandma’s name.”
