'Bad Tattoos Were a White Trash Cultural Thing for Us' Jelly Roll | Heavily Inked

[@TerminallyPerky]

I love how laid back he is. He can laugh at himself and life. So humble and kind. Bunny and their daughter are the same. Just... such big hearted human beings.💖

Not Bunnies daughter. Jelly had her before him and Bunnie met.

[@faithfullyfaded]

Bad tattoos are STILL a white trash cultural thing - a rite of passage, a memory to recall, and a story to tell along life's highway. Some of my favorite conversations have happened in someone's living room while one of us got inked with the latest homemade gun. God bless Jelly Roll. He is so comfortable with himself and who he is. His smile is like sunshine.

[@joedazier6960]

Really? No. It's an idiot culture thing. Seen on all races.

[@lolajones3706]

I am 77 yrs old, and I am binge watching Jelly Roll , He has an amazing Story if Redemption! You gotta listen to his songs. SAVE ME is one or my favorites ! Life, Son of a Sinner, so many great songs!

[@fredbologn2344]

That's not culture. Your bad decisions are not "culture".

[@perrycoffey5410]

It's really stupid you can get toxic ink on your bloodstream and you could die pretty sure you people don't think about that at all

[@draeautomatic2582]

You just made me realize how many bad white trash tattoos I have

[@Brian-ff7tw]

Jelly you are the man! I have 1 tattoo, and it is absolutely terrible. I got it in a very rough and rebellious stage of my life at just 16 years old. When my mother saw it, she was heartbroken. I'm now 36, successful, and a father of 2 young sons. Lately I have been considering getting laser tattoo removal. After listening to you own all of your tattoos, and using them as a reminder of who you were at that time. I think I'll keep mine to help me remember what I was like back then. When my boys get to their rebellious stage, I think this bad tattoo will remind me to just love them through it. You are the best Jelly!

[@kevinhird8161]

Every bad tattoo has a great story. They've built us up through the years. Jelly roll is such a cool dude. Seen him in October in Utah and he sold out so much they sold out a whole parking lot. Shit was wild af

[@justanothernobody982]

Absolutely! Every tattoo has a story even the completely meaningless ones have context, i have professional tattoos and bad tattoos and my friends make fun of me relentlessly for all my tattoos but i cherish each and every one of them especially the bad ones because every tattoo i have feels like a chapter of my life recorded on my skin

[@trelyles1583]

My first tattoo was a shitty peace sign done by a friend in highschool in her living room. Never gonna forget it

[@fkcuuu8362]

You tattoo people put wayy too much value on something like a tattoo lol. You won't like them in 50 years and you wouldn't let your kids or grandkids get them until they're legally allowed to

[@justanothernobody982]

@@fkcuuu8362 For some... sure, ill agree with that... but definitely not everybody There are many tattoo enthusiasts like me who love tattoos both good and bad, I have big tattoos from high school that I still love many years later, I know that as people get older their tattoos will fade but thats actually not a problem at all because they can simply get them touched up with new ink or get a cover up which would look perfectly fine over a faded old tattoo, if they have money to burn they could also get laser removal and get a new tattoo As for my kids, personally I dont give a fuck if my kids decide to get tattoos as long as their first couple of tattoos can be covered up with everyday clothing, I dont care if theyre 14, 16, or 18, as long as they fully understand the consequences and dont pick something that will affect their careers, hell I would even give them a really clean stick and poke tattoo myself if they wanted, better me than some stranger at a party

[@fkcuuu8362]

@@justanothernobody982 so you admit you think tattoos are dumb/bad, for a kid under 14? Lol, the younger someone is the less dumb it looks, but you think your tattoos don't make you look silly? Most of yall truly think it looks cool. Idc how hard yall try to hide it, you do it because you rhink it makes you look cool, or even attractive. You do it for other people whether you realize it or not. Same reason car people buy bumpers and rims. To get compliments from other grown men🤣

Saw Jelly Roll live last September.Great show.Dude is so humble.

[@kaynesantor8136]

He's so great. He's been through the shit, and still, he gives back to the community, the kids in the system, just an amazing heart on this guy. Like it or not, that's why his music strikes such a chord for a lot of people. It's as real as it gets with this guy. Fun stories, be well homie.

[@theconfusingwords]

I never heard of Jelly Roll, but now he’s one of my heroes. God bless Jelly Roll!

[@downtoearthconstruction7768]

My first tattoo was a heart that says “MOM” I was 15. She found out from our school lunch lady one night out because I was showing it off in school. Well she couldn’t be too mad considering my 1st one said “MOM”

[@MrEazyE357]

Just in case you actually read these Jason, I've got a huge "Ca$hville" tattoo across my shoulders that's supposed to be in the same font that's on the dollar bill. Considering it's not even really centered, I doubt the font is really great either so I guess you'd like it. I got it when I was 16 or 17 and had just been kicked out of my mom's in South Nashville area and sent to live with my Dad in Louisville KY. At that point I just knew I was coming back. I never did. Got married, unmarried and stayed in Louisville. We've actually met a few times back in the 90s and I just remembered how hype I got when I saw that "tell my PO I hang drywall" video. I still come back to visit Mom all the time but that city has grown so much that it doesn't feel like home at all anymore. Congratulations on all your success my brother! You deserve it.

My first tattoo was a stick and poke I did at 16 in my room laying in bed. It was a small simple heart outline on my wrist, it looked good and I got lots of compliments for it. Shortly after I did another one on my hip anc loved it. Sadly it was my first time and I didn't know what I was doing so I didn't put the needle deep and it faded after a few months. My mom found out about the wrist one, told me never to do it again, and was pissed. Said it looked ugly but it really was cute and everyone loved it. Definitely gonna get the heart redone professionally on my 19th birthday and it'll be my first official ❤️

[@Jdigger4130]

[@Mixed-Media-Arts]

You cant be serious

[@dewilew2137]

Idk who this guy is, but it’s refreshing to hear him say he does regret some tattoos. I never understood the concept of pretending that you have “no regrets” about things that it’s perfectly fine and normal to regret. It feels like a comping mechanism. If you don’t have any regrets as you age, that means you either aren’t getting any wiser as you age, or you’re the first human who was a perfect teenager/young adult, and you never made any stupid decisions. Either way, it should be concerning, especially because one of those makes you a damn liar on top of everything else.

[@T.Maximus]

I feel like admitting regret is more of a honesty thing. You can look back and say damn what did I do that? You can't let regret make you live in shame though

[@thenameforcorey2261]

Love Jelly Roll. Been following him since he had to tell his PO he was hanging dry wall.

[@MrEazyE357]

I knew him when I was a kid. We weren't like friends or anything but ran in some of the same circles. I'm from south Nashville as in south of downtown. Antioch is further out and more of a suburb I guess. I think he's a little younger than I am. Nashville was a cool place in the 90's. It still is but for different reasons. Now it's turned into like full-on big shiny city mode with people pouring in like crazy. It definitely used to seem more humble and down to earth when I was growing up. I still go back all the time to visit my Mom. Last year I decided to check out my old neighborhood. It used to be one of those "you live in this neighborhood because it's where you can afford to live" neighborhoods; definitely not "desirable". I didn't even recognize it. Now it's apparently a highly desirable area, full little boutiques, restaurants, and condos. All we really used to have was a couple liquor stores, one good barber shop, and the tiny gas station that sold us cigarettes when we were kids and had illegal slot machines and ran numbers out of the back. It was a really weird feeling. Anyway, I remember getting super-hyped when saw that "drywall" video and I was living in a different state by then. I think people got sick of me showing them the video. Lol. P.S. I've got a giant tattoo across my shoulders that says "Ca$hville" and is supposed to be in the same font that's on American money. It's not even centered. I guess Jelly would like it.
