Cher Lloyd's Tattoos & Meanings

Cher Lloyd’s Tattoos

Although she is young, Cher Lloyd has already racked up an impressive amount of ink. "I just want to be covered," the pop singer has stated. She already had 3 tattoos when she first auditioned for X-Factor. At the time she was only 16, below the legal age for getting a tattoo in the UK. That didn't stop her from adding on more tattoos, many before her 18th birthday. "It just carried on from there. I got a bit addicted with it, and just kept going and going. But they all mean something to me, I don't just get them for the sake of it." Cher now has 21 tattoos and keeps adding more, all of which she loves. When asked about her favorite tattoo, Cher responded "I don't have a favorite tattoo. I like all of my tattoos." Despite criticism, Cher is quite set in her decision to be inked. "I don't think I'll regret any of them," she says. "I know people say 'what about when you're old and you're covered in tattoos?' -- so what. Anyway, in time to come everyone will have them and it will be all the trend, won't it? 'Cuz you don't know how the times are gonna change." She appreciates the expressive nature of tattoos. "I think tattoos, it's like artwork," she says. "It expresses a lot, and that's why I have them." Cher's tattoos tell her story and she says that when she's older "Then it's going to be like a piece of artwork that people can look at and see all the crazy things I did in my life."
