Black Ink Tattoos

SZA

SZA celebrated her debut studio album “Ctrl” by getting the title tattooed on her left forearm. The album was officially released on June 9, 2017 but SZA got the tattoo a few month prior.

Some of SZA’s die-hard fans have showed their devotion by getting their own “Ctrl” tattoos. One fan posted a picture of the tattoo that he got before the album was released and captioned it “I don’t listen yet but it already changed my life.”  SZA was so flattered that she reposted the picture and wrote “You’ve already changed mine. (got mines in the same spot too)”.

The album title “Ctrl” represents living in the present moment and just letting life happen without trying to control every little thing.

“It’s about analog and being at a time where we were brought information more slowly,” she told Complex. “Control is a concept, you think about getting away from analog, control is an illusion, you try and force it.”

In November 2015, SZA got this tattoo on her collarbone of a maple log and leaf as a tribute to the town of Maplewood, NJ where she grew up.  She told Complex:

I was born in St. Louis, but I’m from Maplewood, New Jersey. Maplewood is completely different than the rest of New Jersey. It’s very small. It’s quietly affluent but more lowkey. Lauryn Hill is from my town though. It was predominantly white, Jewish. I went to school with all white kids and my Girl Scout troop everyone was white. I was being the token black everyday.

Marnie Simpson

Marnie Simpson had the initial “R♡” with an outline of a heart inked on her right wrist in honor of her ex fiance Ricky Rayment. He had a matching “M♡” tattoo for her.

They split up in 2015 and she now regrets the whole relationship, telling MTV “I would go as far as saying it’s probably the biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my life.” In that February 2016 interview, she suggested that she might cover the tattoo with the name of her Geordie Shore co-star and boyfriend at the time Aaron Chalmers. Thankfully she didn’t get another regrettable tattoo. She ended up waiting a while and then getting it laser removed beginning in November 2017.

She would consider getting inked again in the future if someone special comes along, telling Star Magazine “I wouldn’t say getting a partner’s name tattooed on you is a mistake.”
