Kesha tattooed the words “Live Free” across her knuckles on August 30, 2017, a few weeks after releasing her third album Rainbow. It took five years for Kesha to release the album due to the legal battles with her label, and having it out in the world marks a major step forward for her. She posted a picture of the “Free” tattoo on her instagram and wrote:
funny how words take on such important meaning once you start living and find yourself looking for the perfect letters to make up the perfect word to make up the perfect feeling…..
Freedom means a lot to Kesha, especially since she’s had to fight so hard to gain creative control over her music and be freed from producer Dr Luke. She signed to his label Kemosabe Records when she was 18 years old and all of the songs that she released on her first two albums Animal and Warrior were subject to his approval. Kesha wrote over seventy songs for Warrior, most of which were scrapped, and also began working on an album with The Flaming Lips that she was not allowed to release. Fans began demanding that the label set Kesha free from Dr Luke and shared their support for the #FreeKesha movement.
Dr Luke’s control over Kesha went beyond their creative differences. In October 2014 she filed a lawsuit outlining all of the emotional, physical, and sexual abuse that she suffered. She alleges that Dr Luke drugged and raped her, and that his abuse caused her to have an eating disorder. Unfortunately most of Kesha’s claims were dismissed by a judge. She had held her silence for so long that the alleged rape was past the statute of limitations. Even worse, Kesha is now having to defend herself in court against Dr Luke’s counter-claims that she has defamed him and damaged his career.
Though the legal battle is ongoing, Kesha was finally able to release an album that fits her own creative vision. The album Rainbow and it’s lead single “Praying” were both nominated for Grammy Awards — Kesha’s first.
I love the tattoos and All the hate is useless its her body so she can do whatever she wants with it so stop and most people are that are hating are usally like 5,6,7 or whatever they just wanna hate most of them can’t even spell!

Ouch…a tattoo on the inside of your bottom lip sounds painful as all hell. I could never do that.
add a rainbow on her foot a saturn on her palm and a moon on her knuckle
Yo all u haters need to back off. Its her body let her be her nobody gives a pooabout what u all think. Ke$ha is freaking amazing and of u dont like her why r u all looking her up. Shes my idol and i dont care what any of u peope have to say about that u should all back of cuz its not ur body shes not related to u so back off! Would u like it if somebody told u what to do but if none of u have nothing good to say then dont say anything at all! Because if all you guys have nothing better to do than insult her thats sad and shows everyone that u guys have no life! Shes a legend… So what if she has tattoos they all have aeaning to her they might not to u but its her shes origonal in a awesome way! So stop judging her if u dont like her cuz u only live once and shes having the time of her life! Its her life so stop judgeing her just cuz u dont like it! So yea! Ke$ha u rock! ROCK ON!!
Ke$ha is exactly who she wants to be. She says to always be yourself, unapologetically & to give the finger to the haters.
Her tattoos are on her body. NOT YOURS! Yes tattoos last forever and so will her memories that are attached to them.
It’s 2013.. Sorry to tell you but the bible is out of date. People can believe whatever they choose. You cannot tell her (or anyone else on this earth) what to believe in. You can think her tats are a sign of the devil if you wish but I don’t think she gives a fuck. She’s not telling you how to live your life so don’t tell her how to live hers.
Love into the Light. Animals unite <3
Stupidd
Not good pictures of Ke$ha’s tats. And too many of the wrist ones.
I think it a stupit tattos nd all dat tattos are belong to a devil.. all i want to say god is a king of Kings,satan has no power he tels lie’s nd he have a empty promices
oh, shut the fuck up, you ignorant bible-thumper.
yeah you go!
Your comment is a little confusing because of the grammar and spelling errors but how I interpreted what you are say is that all of HER tattoos are in regards to the devil, and not just tattoos in general? If that is what you’re saying then I agree with you. She is like a drone of the illuminati, or as I like to say, killuminati. I also really think she is a reptilian. She’s evil.
BACK THE FUCK AWAY FROM KESHA I DO GET PISSED OF WHEN YOU BIBLE BASHERS START THIS SHIT
THIS ANIMAL DOESN’T TAKE IT
So true
If she wants Tattoos she can its her body so stop you can’t even spell stupid, tattoos,tells, promises.
Go to school You can’t spell!
Helpful
I think kesha is so cool and her tattoos are amazing I have met her at her concert in la
Ke$ha’s freaking awesome and I love her random tattoos!
She got more tattoos recently just look on her twitpics
do you write back too yes or no
I like your tattoo so much . and i like your songes too . your also a number 1 star too.
At least she didn’t catch anything from those random homemade tattoos. Especially the one from a guy she just met for $5.00. She’s so crazy though, just like her songs. <3 I love them!
lol, they all look like freebies you get at any tattoo shop just for picking a random graphic out of a hat… nothing to see here…
Weak ass tatoes boo y don’t u kill ur slvs u dumb dumbs
i think tattoos are so stupid. makes you look like your permanently covered in dirt…
I think you should only get tattoos for memories and stuff like that.
Ummm.. There all in the same place. And there kinda dumb tattoos too. And she got a tattoo from some random guy (if she didn’t know him..) for five BUCKS?!? Man i wish REAL tattoos were that cheap. Sucks for me tho..
Kesha is the most random person I have ever seen. Her tattoos are pretty pointless , I mean a tatoo will last on your skin practically forever. Tattos getting with a meaning is something else , thats great if you decide to get a tatoo but atleast it has a bit of a story to it. @Kaysee , I respct that decision about getting your tattoo because of your husband. Her’s are just stupid items that might not even have a meaning to them. I dont really like them may I say. But my oppinion is only one right ? (:
Your right. Her tatt on her inner lip is dangerous my aunt did that and got poisoned and died.
If she wants random tattoos, let her. It’s not your body, why care so much?
Lol Her tattoos definitely aren’t pointless and have a lot more meaning than she is leading on. They are all so obviously connected to the illuminati. If she’s trying to hide that she’s in it then she isn’t doing a very good job.
Wow. Kesha’s kind of dumb. Well, i knew that already, but seriously?
i hav a doller sing too
Ok
I like the dollar signs. The others are a bit random, but hey, she is random! I respect that she is her own person!
It’s okay, but I don’t like tattoos.
My tattoos are homemade too. Big whoop. I have an anchor tatted on me too in the same spot as her. But i honestley think mines more, you know, noticable. I got it cuz my husband’s in the Navy though. And i got a smiley face tatted on me when i was 14. It’s close to where her dollar sign is.
KE$HA is fuckin awesome
I honestly think her tatoos are random, but stupid
I have a homemade tatt. its Kesha’s money sign but its fading now I’m gettin it professionally done soon.
I love how random she is, himemade tatooos? She is fucking great, legendary to me.
