Covered-Up Tattoos

Debby Ryan

Debby Ryan had this little stick-and-poke alien tattoo for about two years. She first showed off the alien on the inside of her left wrist in January 2015 and then in January 2017 she covered it up with a new design. In response to a question about her tattoo on tumblr, she quoted “If I find in myself a desire which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only explanation must be that I was made for another world.” by author CS Lewis.

She was very much into “out of this world” extraterrestrial vibes at the time that she got the tattoo — but so was her ex-boyfriend. She has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with Twenty One Pilots drummer Josh Dun, who sometimes wears an alien mask on stage. The tattoo is not specifically about him and it seems like they were actually broken up when she got it. But the connection to Josh might explain why she wanted to get rid of the faded inking rather than redo it.

Sherri DuPree-Bemis

Sherri DuPree-Bemis had this black ink design on her right wrist from December 2015 to June 2017. The minimalist image of coffee being poured from a mug is the logo of The Foundry Coffee House in her hometown of Tyler, TX.

Thanks for the new ink @coleknoxx✌?️ Coffee, in general, holds a special place in my heart ? but @foundrycoffeehouse is the most special to me and will always symbolize the best of times with friends, coffee, pie, more coffee, donuts, more coffee ect… Also, my pops @boyd_dupree designed the logo so we have a win-win situation here. ☕️?

Unfortunately she didn’t like the way the tattoo turned out, and had it covered up with a heavy black heart two years later.

Cover-up of what was a badly-rendered tattoo of the @foundrycoffeehouse’s logo. My dad @boyd_dupree designed the logo and I love it…but the artist who did it on my arm ?…Well. Needless to say, it’s now covered ?

Monica Brown

Monica used to have the word “knot” above the portrait of Jesus on her upper left arm. “Knot” is the nickname of her boyfriend Jarvis Weems and she got this tattoo as a memorial to him after he died by suicide in 2000. A few years later, she covered up his name with a flower over each letter.

His passing caused a major upheaval in her life. She felt unable to work and took a hiatus from her music career in order to heal. She cared for his daughter during that time and considered the young girl “the best therapy.”

The death was all the more traumatic because she witnessed it firsthand. She and Knot were visiting the grave site of his brother, who had died in a car accident two years earlier, when he pulled out a gun and shot himself in the head. “Someone passing is very different than seeing someone take their life, or if you’re there when someone else has taken their life. I think those situations make me the person I am today,” she told MTV. “People would never expect some of the things I’ve experienced and some of the things I’m not shy to talk about.”

After they broke up, she covered up the tattoo with an artistic cactus design.
