The Queen of Country music wasn’t just an incredible entertainer for over sixty years she was also an avid collector of tattoos, tattoos that were rarely seen.
Dolly stated, "I have a few little tattoos, but usually my tattoos were from before they became a fad," she said in an interview. "I have a tendency to scar easy, and I'm so fair-skinned that I stay purple right where I've had a scar. So I started having little pastel tattoos — pastel butterflies or little things — just to cover scars."
Additionally, Roseanne Barr discussed the singer's body art in a 2011 interview. "Do you know who's totally tattooed?" the controversial comedienne said. "I shouldn't even tell this. Dolly Parton is totally tattooed ... She showed me. She's got all these awesome tattoos all over her body. No black or blue lines. All pastel, gorgeous bows all over everything."
Also, in 2013, Absolutely Fabulous actress Jennifer Saunders said she was with Roseanne on one occasion when Dolly lifted up her top and revealed her breasts were covered in "the most beautiful angels and beautiful butterflies and baskets of flowers in pastel-colored tattoos." Paparazzi seemed to get a glimpse of a rose petal tattoo right in Dolly's cleavage when she wore a low-cut dress to the 2012 premiere of Joyful Noise, but the hitmaker later explained to Anderson Cooper she has no such ink in that particular place!
Well, the 9 to 5 actress may be frank about a lot of things, but a girl's entitled to her secrets!
