Star 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.”

Keyshia Cole

Keyshia Cole has a large tattoo on her upper left arm of a wooden stake driving into a heart.  It is surrounded by a star-shaped outline.  Most of the tattoo is done in grayscale, but there are drips of blood in red ink.

Though this tattoo may seem gruesome, it symbolizes faith and love.  “On my arm, I have a heart across a star, which symbolizes my religion, and the love I have all the time for everyone around me. The star behind it also symbolizes everything I am,” she told Urban Ink. “Three of [my tattoos] symbolize the faith I have and possess, and try to keep up everyday. I feel strongly and deeply that my faith got me here, that its how I accomplished my dreams. I feel my belief in god gave me the strength to leave Oakland, and to be successful at accomplishing the things Ive accomplished so far. Keeping all of that in mind always gives me strength.”
