Chris Brown Details Getting His First Tattoo At 13-Years-Old.
Chris Brown speak on getting his first tattoo at 13-years old and shares his mom reaction to it in an interview with Urban Ink.
"My first tattoo was a Jesus with musical notes," Brown says. "Basically signifying that God gave me the gift to sing. I was 13, but my mom didn’t know I got it. When she saw it, she went crazy, like, 'What are you doing?' I showed her. I said, 'It’s Jesus, mama, look.' So she kind of cooled down, but I still got in trouble."
The grammy award winning artist told Urban Ink that he has 50 tattoos inked on his body.
"For me, I don’t try to focus too much on particulars when getting a tattoo," the singer says. "Granted sometimes it has a deep meaning, like a milestone, and sometimes it’s just a stepping-stone in my life. I’ll look at a tattoo and say, 'Oh, I remember where I was at when I got this tattoo.' Those moments are captured within the tattoos. I believe overthinking is probably what most people do, so I just try to let it flow. I use that same philosophy when I am getting my own artwork tattooed on me. I give my tattoo artist a lot of freedom."
