I’m like ‘what can I get next’ and my dad’s like ‘nooooo!’…He does not approve of them.” (more…)
Demi Lovato has a tattoo of red lips on left wrist which she got in July 2011 as a matching tattoo with friends Hanna Beth Merjos, Ivey Ensley and Lauren Pietra. Ivey and Hanna Beth had the kiss placed on their collarbones. The tattoo is of Ivey’s lips.
This playful tattoo stands in contrast to some of Demi’s other ink with much more serious meanings. She told Hollywood Life “I got like a kiss mark, and it’s just like a friendship tattoo and also it kinda reminds me not to take myself too seriously. I got like a fun tattoo rather than all these other ones that are so serious.”
You would have thought that having her feather ear tattoo turn out poorly would have taught Demi a lesson about getting tattoos in non-professional environments, but apparently it did not. She told MTV “It was also on Warped Tour. In a tour bus. Another one, different year,” while grimacing. In another interview, she said “It was just a spur of the moment stupid decision.”
Demi Lovato has come to hate this tattoo and joked that it looks like a vagina. Those comments upset tattoo artist Ashley McMullen, who claimed that Demi was drunk and rude when she got the tattoo, didn’t pay for it, and didn’t give Ashley any publicity. She put the blame for the bad tattoo on Demi, saying she gave Demi what she “specifically asked for…it is not my fault you wanted a pair of red lips on your wrist next to your upside down tattoo.”
She finally had the tattoo covered with a rose in April 2015. (more…)

Neon Hitch has a tattoo on the inside of her right forearm in memory of her friend Shane Dugas who died of cancer at the age of 30. She got the tattoo in April 2014 only days after his passing. It’s a black and white bumblebee with a human head smoking a cigarette. On the wings are his initials “SMD.”
She writes “My new tattoo for my bruva Shane who just passed.. And amy as his guardian angel. Healing process.” This is her second tattoo of Amy Winehouse’s name.
Neon Hitch tattooed “AMY” on her finger in memory of the late Amy Winehouse, who had been a close friend and roommate of Neon’s.
She says: “Throughout my life I have been a wild and loud rebellious child and have had angels looking out for me, [Amy Winehouse] is one of them. Amy is the big sister I never had and took me in when I was homeless. She cared so much for other people I wish she could have cared for herself as much as she did for others.”
