Brett Young has quite a few tattoos, including a full sleeve on his left arm that he is in the process of completing. He still remembers his first tattoo, which is actually one he no longer has. Brett says, “My very first tattoo was a crown of thorns around my upper left arm that I have since gotten covered up because I got it right before Pamela Anderson came out with (the movie) Barb Wire. That’s pretty fun my senior year in baseball being called Pam.”
A lot of people say tattoos can be addicting, and Brett says after getting his first tattoo, “I didn’t feel addicted, like I didn’t have that experience. I do have that experience now. I didn’t initially. I was young, I always wanted one, I got it. I felt like I checked that box. It wasn’t until five years down the road when I got one on my ribs, I was in Singapore and I got my last name underneath my heart and I remember it like it almost felt good. And I went, ‘Oh that’s weird.’ And ever since then, now, like actually, the process of getting tattooed is something I enjoy.”
Brett has certainly added quite a few tattoos to his body in the last 15 years and shows no signs of slowing down. Perhaps he’ll choose a new tattoo as a way to celebrate if “In Case You Didn’t Know,” which is currently sitting in the top five on the charts, can become his second consecutive #1 single.”
