Dainty body art is part of a Dolly story that the star seldom shares
“I do have some tattoos, that’s true,” Dolly Parton divulges, confirming what many admirers already knew. “But they’re tasteful. I’m not a tattoo girl.”
Parton cherishes the Smoky Mountain roots of her upbringing and embeds the imagery of the nature that was all around her and 11 siblings in Sevier County, Tennessee through many of her songs. Nature reflects in the symbolism of her tattoos.
“I like to make positives out of negatives,” she declares as part of the Dolly Parton life philosophy. Her ink artwork started with a beehive to cover a small scar. The 74-year-old “Love Is Like a Butterfly” singer-songwriter adopted the beautiful insect as her signature symbol, along with the song, decades ago. She describes that “ribbons and bows and butterflies” appear on various areas, for deeply personal reasons.
Dolly recounted a time of being gravely ill and having to use a feeding tube. Because of her fair skin, the scar left by the indention into her side turned purple. Rather than feel self-conscious, Dolly Parton opted for the beehive symbol, and other beloved emblems of the natural world followed.

Confidence and passion are keys to marital success, says Dolly Parton

The two sometimes pull up to a Days Inn for a weekend of fun, or just enjoy home-cooking or a picnic.
It doesn’t take finery for Dolly Parton to express her passion, and only she knows what special meaning or memory her next tattoo will capture.
