Lena Dunham tattooed the word “Staunch” on her bikini line as a replacement for the “Staunch” tattoo that she used to have on her wrist which she covered over with a cross.
Her love of the word “Staunch” is inspired by the movie Grey Gardens, in which Little Edie says “But you see in dealing with me, the relatives didn’t know that they were dealing with a staunch character and I tell you if there’s anything worse than dealing with a staunch woman… S-T-A-U-N-C-H. There’s nothing worse, I’m telling you. They don’t weaken, no matter what.”
Maggie Lindemann got her second The Nightmare Before Christmas tattoo in July 2018, this time of the Oogie Boogie Man on her upper right arm. Her friend Aubrie-Elle was with her and got her own tattoo of the movie’s main characters Jack and Sally.
Maggie Lindemann has a tattoo on the back of her right arm which says “Depression & Obsession,” inspired by the song of the same name by alternative rapper XXXTentacion. She was a fan of his music and was saddened by his June 2018 murder. This song in particular relates to her own emotions. She has struggled with depression her whole life, has written a song of her own called “Obsessed,” and once tweeted his lyrics “depression and obsession don’t mix well.”
Maggie Lindemann had been planning this fangs tattoo for a long time before getting it done in March 2018. The vampire-loving singer got some more discrete tattoos like “Bite Me” on her finger and a bat on her ankle first before taking the plunge because she didn’t want to get a large piece while she’s still so young. But by March 2018 she was finally ready to get the tattoo that she really wanted. She and her friend Chris Miles got matching tattoos on their forearms of an open mouth showing its teeth and fangs. Artist Sick Boy used a blackwork technique to create the goth-style design using solid black ink. Maggie is definitely having a goth moment with her clothing, but she’s sure that the tattoo will be something that stays relevant as she continues to evolve:
“I’ve wanted a vampire tattoo since I was 11. Wanted this specific tattoo since 2016. Just because my style changes doesn’t mean who I truly am on the inside or the things I’ve always liked change.”
Maggie Lindemann has multiple matching tattoos with her best friend Lisey, including the X’s on her hand. In February 2018 they got matching smiley faces on their elbows. Both tattoos have X’s for eyes, but Maggie’s has a frown while Lisey’s has a smile.
Maggie Lindemann got a large tattoo the back of her left upper arm from artist Romeo Lacoste in February 2018. She was inspired by Tim Burton’s classic 1993 movie The Nightmare Before Christmas and chose this image of the character Sally’s stitched-up hands holding a thistle flower. She told Sidewalk Talk:
It’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. It’s Sally holding the flower when she’s picking off the petals and Jack comes in singing to her….It’s my childhood favorite movie, so I had to get it tatted on me.
Maggie Lindemann has had this writing tattoo above on her right knee since February 2018, but we haven’t been able to make out what it says.
Kelsea Ballerini has a tattoo on her ribcage which says “Love. love.” The word “love” appears twice because it’s in the handwriting of each of her parents.
The tattoo also celebrates a major milestone in her career, her debut single “Love Me Like You Mean It” hitting number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. She was the first female solo artist since Carrie Underwood to have her debut single top that chart and the first ever to achieve that feat while on an independent label. She told Ty Kelly and Chuck:
The week that ‘Love Me Like You Mean It’ went No. 1, I received letters from my mom and dad. I was in New Orleans, and I took the letters and got ‘love’ tattooed in my mom and dad’s handwriting.
Kelsea Ballerini has a tattoo on her left forearm with the line “how sweet the sound” from the song “Amazing Grace.” It’s special to her because it was the first solo that she ever sang in her church choir. Singing was always a big part of her life, but she never thought that she wanted to make it a career until she discovered her passion for songwriting at age 13. She told CMT:
“I grew up loving music, like, loving it. I was involved in church choir, leading worship and all the choirs in my school — even glee club. I always loved performing and music.”
She got the tattoo in June 2014 and posted a picture on instagram captioning it:
“First song I learned, first solo I sang, and now first tattoo. #amazinggrace”
