Jelly Roll Says He Regrets ‘Almost All’ of His Tattoos
Written by djfrosty on March 14, 2024
A big part of Jelly Roll’s look are his signature tattoos that cover his arms and even his face. However, in a new interview with GQ, the “Need a Favor” star revealed that he’s not a huge fan of his own ink.
“I regret 98 percent of these tattoos, 97 percent. Almost all of them,” he admits in the clip. “Like core philosophies I rooted my life in when I was 17 and now that I’m 40, I’m like, what the f— was I thinking?”
He then pointed out a few that he’s not particularly fond of, including a baby smoking a blunt — “maybe that was a little bit much,” he notes — before adding that most of his less favorable tats have been covered up.
Jelly showed the first tattoo he got when he was just 14, a cross on his arm in honor of a womn in his neighborhood that died of AIDs. His most meaningful tattoo is his face cross, he notes, “It was symbolic of a change for me, symbolic of a new beginning. Understanding that I need to bear my own cross.”

Funny enough, the country superstar starred in a Super Bowl commercial last month for Uber Eats, in which he forgot about his face tattoo. In the ad, Jelly is putting some toiletries away in his bathroom when he shuts the door to his medicine cabinet. That’s when he sees his reflection in the mirror and his jaw drops. “What happened to my face?!” he wonders before yelling, “Are these tattoos?!?”
