Grandmother Tattoos

Lauren Jauregui

Fifth Harmony singer Lauren Jauregui got her first tattoo on September 30, 2014. It’s a dragonfly on the back of her neck which was done by artist Rocky Darkroads at Golden Daggers tattoo parlor in Los Angeles, CA.

She explained on her tumblr that the tattoo is a memorial for her deceased grandmother. In a post before getting it done, she wrote:

I actually really do want tattoos..my first one’s gonna be a dragon fly for my grandma because when she passed I saw a dragon fly everywhere I went and it’s kinda like a reminder that her spirit is still with me.

Kellie Pickler

The “Faye” tattoo on Kellie Pickler’s foot is the name of her grandmother. Kellie has a special relationship with her grandma, who she says “was like my mom and my best friend.” Kellie was abandoned by her mother at the age of two and her father was in and out of jail, so she was raised by her grandparents.

Faye died in 2002 and Kellie honored her with the tattoo in 2008. Kellie also wrote a song “My Angel” dedicated to her grandmother, a characterization which is shown with a halo on the tattoo. She told Maxim magazine, “My grandmother would be mortified if she knew I had these [tattoos]. She’s passed away now, but she would say, ‘Tattoos are the devil!’ So my first tattoo, of course, was my grandma’s name.”
