Maren Morris Hummingbird Forearm Tattoo

MediaPunch / BACKGRID

Maren Morris has a tattoo of a watercolor-style hummingbird on the inside of her left forearm. She loves hummingbirds, but it is symbolic of her music career as well. She explained to Country Note:

This is my first tattoo. It’s a hummingbird. My first ever guitar was a Gibson Hummingbird. And I just love them. That was when I was 18.

Based on an interview with Huffington Post, it seems like the Gibson Hummingbird was actually her third guitar. She got a cheap Ibanez acoustic guitar from her dad when she was 12, which she loaned to a neighbor and never saw again; and Martin acoustic guitar which she still has. The Gibson Hummingbird was an 18th birthday present from her parents.

Regardless, the Gibson Hummingbird is the one that’s special to her. We love that she found a creative an beautiful way to represent it with this hummingbird design rather than getting a picture of the guitar itself.
