In a new interview with CMT, the country music star, 48, revealed that after getting a pretty sizable tattoo on his arm decades ago, he made the executive decision to not ink his body again.
“They say that tattoos are addictive. I got this tattoo about 20 years ago and decided it was, in the moment, one of the worst mistakes of my life and I’m never doing that again. I stuck to that,” Shelton said in an Instagram clip shared on Jan. 23.
The “God’s Country” singer has a large black tattoo that wraps around his left forearm. Although he might have regrets about getting it done, he’s put it on display on stage.
