The Tattoo That Blake Shelton Regrets The Most

Publish date: 2024-05-07

If you were to ask Blake Shelton about his embarrassing tattoo, he'd tell you, "it doesn't mean crap," which is what he told Oprah in 2013, anyway. The tattoo in question was meant to pay homage to Shelton's favorite hobby: deer hunting. Shelton's left forearm is covered in deer tracks, surrounded by barbed wire.

The only problem? They don't look like deer tracks. They look like cute little ladybugs. "To this moment, people still come up to me and say, 'Man, ladybugs ... that's cool. What does that mean to you?'" Shelton explained to GAC TV (via The Boot). "I probably have the crappiest tattoo — not only in country music — but maybe the world."

To be fair, there are probably worse tattoos, but you don't want a bunch of cutesy ladybugs on your arm when you're trying to convey your love of bowhunting. Shelton is taking it all in stride, though; it even became something of a joke between himself and those closest to him. Gwen Stefani's sons poked fun at their soon-to-be stepdad by copying the tattoo in permanent marker on their arms in 2017. It was all very cute.
