Since MTV doesn’t play music video’s anymore, and not all of us follow our favorite artists on social media, we often have no idea which of our favorite country music artists have a tattoo, let alone the story behind some of them! Some get tattoos with deep meaning. Some just get a tattoo. And others use tattoos to turn their bodies into a canvas that tells a story. Country musicians are no different.

From the Queen of Country to the bad boys of country, some of these artists may surprise you!

  “Pull the trigger on a point blank kiss
  This close you better never miss
  Heart beatin’ like a bullet into my chest
  Bitin’ my lip and wreckin’ my bed
  But Cinderella never sees the sun
  You’ll be gone before mornin’ comes
  Like to love, but you love to run
  You’re too hot to hold baby, you’re a smokin’ gun”

  – Smokin’ Gun by Brantley Gilbert

  Dolly Parton reveals the truth about her 'little tattoos'

  "I don't have the real heavy, dark tattoos," Parton told W Magazine of her delicate designs. "Mine are all pastel. And I have more than one!"

  Just because you can’t seem the Queen of Country’s tattoos doesn’t mean she is ink free!

  10 years of sobriety is no small accomplishment, making this tattoo all that much more special!
