Jennifer Nettles has the word “Believe” tattooed on the back of her left wrist. She hasn’t spoken specifically about this tattoo, but the told the Colorado Springs Gazette “People tattoo for different reasons. I use a tattoo as a marker of time, to be reminded of a time in my life. It is something special and personal. There’s a lyric in my song ‘Take Me as I Am’: ‘We all live with the scars we choose.’ Some scars are given to us and some we choose.”
Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles has a tattoo of a red heart with blue wings on the inside of her right upper arm which she got in 2006. A heart with wings is a fairly common tattoo design, and while some people seek originality in their tattoos, Jennifer likes the classic feel. She told US Weekly “It is an iconic tattoo, at least in the world of American tattoos.”
Country singer Whitney Duncan shows her patriotism with a grayscale American flag tattoo on her left shoulder blade. The tattoo was inspired by a trip that Whitney took in 2010 to perform for American troops stationed in Iraq and Kuwait.
Kellie Pickler has a tattoo of stars on her left forearm just below the elbow. The stars represent the USO, or United Service Organizations Inc., which provides entertainment to American troops. Kellie has played shows through the USO for American soldiers serving abroad all over the world. The three stars are meant to represent each of her USO tours, but the tattoo hasn’t kept up with her service as she’s now done five tours! She says “I have stars on my left arm for my USO tours, but I’m missing two.”
The military is very special to Kellie, who comes from a military family. She even took a wounded soldier as her date to the CMT Awards instead of her husband. She told Maxim “I come from a military family. My grandfather is a retired Marine, and I’ve always had a great deal of respect for anyone who serves our country. It really does take someone special to sacrifice everything. I don’t mean just their lives, either. There are men who are sacrificing the chance to hold their newborn baby!”
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.”
Kerli looked icy at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards with a blueish purple hairstyle with blonde roots. A French braid on her right side keeps all of her hair piled to the left.
Kerli rocked a rainbow dye job on the red carpet at the NYLON 13th Anniversary Issue Celebration on April 10, 2012. Her hair mixes lime green, aqua, and a hint of very pale pink. Her hair is partially down with a few miniature buns on the top.
