Let\u2019s face it: When you love a country artist, it\u2019s easy to get so caught up in the moment that you do something you might regret forever.<\/p>\n
Waiting in a meet-and-greet line for a moment with your favorite artist can give you just enough time to consider something risky\u00a0\u2014 getting their autograph somewhere on your body, then heading straight to a tattoo shop to make it permanent.<\/p>\n
Plain and simple \u2014 that country artist might not be a famous singer forever, or they might not make it in Nashville. Then you\u2019re stuck with the autograph of someone who could end up being a plumber who used to make music.<\/p>\n
Breland<\/a> was my guest on Taste of Country Nights<\/em><\/a>, where he told me, \u201cA woman asked me to sign her arm, and then I saw her a year later and it was a tattoo.\u201d<\/p>\n He added that there are three or four people out there with his signature permanently tattooed on their bodies.<\/p>\n But Breland brought up a great point: \u201cIt\u2019s a little odd because what if I\u2019m like, \u2018Yo, what if I just decided I\u2019m gonna stop making music, or something happened, and now you have to live with this forever? You\u2019re really investing in me early.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n As someone who interviews country artists for a living, I\u2019ve talked to just about every country artist out there, past and present. There\u2019s a common theme: When I ask if a fan has ever gotten their signature tattooed, the answer is usually yes.<\/p>\n Lainey Wilson<\/a> told me a fan once got a giant portrait of her face tattooed on their body \u2014 so sometimes people take it even a step further.<\/p>\n Just be sure this is something you really want before you do it \u2014 and consider the artist\u2019s long-term career path, too.<\/p>\n We talk about ’80s ladies like Dolly and Reba. We’ll go on forever about the ’90s gals like Trisha, Faith, Shania and Martina, but what about Anne and Mary.<\/p>\n Anne Murray and Mary Chapin Carpenter were record setters and they’re just two of the great women found on this list of underrated country stars.
