In the final episode of in the final episode of his Dolly Parton’s America podcast hosted by Jad Abumrad was encouraged by a group of students at the University of Tennessee studying Parton’s work and impact on society to ask her about her alleged tattoos.
Dolly did confirm saying “I have a few tattoos on my body. They are not meant to be tattoos for the sake of tattoos”. Her fair-skinned, scars discolor her skin or are otherwise prominent.”So I, when I first started gettin’ a few little things done, I had a few little tattoos to cover up the scarring.”
Dolly also added “I’m not tattooed all over like a bikewoman or anything”. They’re “very delicate,” she describes, featuring pastel-colored, rather than dark, inks.
“I have some butterflies, I have some lace and some little bows — a couple things like that.”
What is the meaning behind each tattoo? She keeps that a secret.
