Carly Pearce’s Cautionary Tale on Tattoo Removal
Carly Pearce, the GRAMMY-winning artist, is reaching out to fans who may be contemplating getting a tattoo or those who regret their existing ink.
Documenting the Painful Process
In a recent update on her Instagram Stories, Pearce provided a glimpse into her tattoo removal journey, emphasizing the discomfort involved in the process. She showcased her wrist, where a fading tattoo of a butterfly accompanied by the words “She believed she could so she did” was visible. Though she did not elaborate on her reasons for removing this specific tattoo, she was candid about the challenges she faced during the removal.
A Word of Advice
“If you get a tattoo at 18 like I did and you’re considering having it taken off, wow, it’s an experience,” she remarked. “For anyone thinking about getting a tattoo, really consider it carefully. And if you’re contemplating tattoo removal, be prepared for some serious pain. That’s all I have to say.”
Meaningful Ink
Pearce has several tattoos that symbolize significant moments in her life and career. In an interview with Inked Magazine, she discussed getting a hummingbird tattoo shortly before announcing her album title, which represents a new era in her music journey and serves as a reminder of healing and hope.
Additionally, she has a red feather tattoo in memory of her late grandparents, who inspired her passion for country music. “They never saw my dream come true, but every night I perform, I think of them,” she expressed.
More Tattoos with Personal Significance
Other tattoos include the outline of Kentucky on her wrist, reflecting her pride in her home state, and a bouquet of wildflowers, which she got following her divorce. She shared the inspiration behind the wildflower ink, stating, “Wildflowers are the first things to bloom after a long winter. Here’s to seeing the wildflowers starting to sprout again.”
Taking a Break
Following her recent Honest Woman Tour, Pearce has some time to recover before hitting the stage again. With no performances scheduled until December 2, she’s using this time to heal from her tattoo removal process.
