Brandy: “Man, My Tattoos Are Gonna Look Hideous When I’m Old”

Brandy isn’t happy about the ink she has and thinks she’ll look a hot mess when she gets up in age:

Brandy regrets her tattoo collection – because she fears they’ll look terrible when she’s 80.

The R&B star was shocked when her six-year-old daughter announced she wanted a little skin art, and as she tried to talk her out of the idea, she realized she’d made a mistake in getting her own.

She tells Sister 2 Sister magazine, “I told her, ‘Guess what? When mama gets 80 or 90 years old, these tattoos are going to look terrible. They’re going to be wrinkled, they’re going to look ugly. Mama wishes I never got a tattoo because I didn’t think about when I turn 80, how they’re going to be.’

“She just got a kick out of that. She said, ‘Well, you know what? I’m never going to get a tattoo because I don’t want my body to shrivel up when I get (to) 80 and my tattoos look a mess.’”

Ummm…yeah, you shouldn’t have done that, Brandy.  Ladies, enough with the “tramp stamps” and other horrific tattoos all over your bodies, already.  That sh*t ain’t cute.

    I always thought this pic was hot considering who it is and all. As for the “news-breaking” comment, I think they’re just poking at the consciousness of some tatted chicks who haven’t considered the. Hopefully to make the ones considering getting tatted think a little harder. I says kudos, Bossip.

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re is excited to see GAMBIT in May. FINALLY!

    The tramp stamps aren’t cool, but neither is this picture….

    This is the most unattractive, unlady like picture. And when your daughter says she wants to take a picture like that, are you going to say you wish you never did it?

    It makes no sense…

  • The Grundle

    Just want to say that Brandy KILLED someone

  • Pedrosa

    She right-tattoos look just TRASHY on girls…

    Makes even the finest chick look like a broke down gutter rat.

  • reese615

    LMAO @ gutter rat

    @ Re

    I couldn’t quite my finger on what was wrong with that pic, but you got it. I be squintin and twisting my head but brandy just aint cute to me

    Brandy sho aint as cute as she used to be… uh huh.

  • Sawyer

    Earth to Brandy…your already a hot mess! Look in the mirror and remind yourself of this. No need to thank me :)

  • CHRISSY

    THANK GOD I NEVER GOT ANY…I WANT MY SKIN TO STAY FLAWLESS AND FREE OF ALL MARKS.

  • nana

    well if tats mean something to u and u get something tht has meaning and reason. then why not. when you’re a lady you have to kno what to get and what not to get on ur body. I have 3 and they dont make me look like a “gutter rat”. no tramp stamp either. But opinions are always going to be put out there. such Brandy isnt the nicest person to look at. which she isnt.

  • Junk

    You know, if I am blessed to live until I’m 80, I fail to think that my tattoos will be something I’ll regret. You’ve lived a full life and your body shows the stages you’ve been through and the places you’ve been (stretch marks, wrinkles, scars, etc). I think it’s silly when people are like, “I’m going to hate this when I’m 80″. Won’t you be more interested in playing with your great-grandbabies and enjoying your golden years than to worry about something you did when you were 18? It’s not like you’re putting on a bikini anyway, so what’s there to be ashamed of?

  • that one girl

    When album sales drop so do the panties. This is a hot mess.

  • MSBEBE

    my tatoos will be fine like me @ 80 and i will still show them offf hell everybody will have onei know people who get em like accessories so wtf ever tramp stamp my ass

  • Junk

    Also, why are people so evil? Do you really think you’re making a public service announcement by saying that you think Brandy is unattractive? How does knocking someone’s looks make you feel? Better? Superior? In a position to judge? Beauty is subjective and I’m sure there’s plenty of people who don’t think you’re very cute or as shiny, pretty and new as you used to be. I think it’s time to focus on and fix our own shortcomings than to talk shit about something that’s beyond a person’s control (their looks).

  • Sim1

    Her hairline is bugged out.

  • Obama Supporter for Change

    Brandy’s definitekly cute and I’d hit it. But that pic of her makes it look like a pron flick cover. But then again it might be her next career move. LOL

  • BACKYARD

    I HAVE 6 TATTS AND I DONT REGRET ANY OF THEM. SO I DISAGREE WITH THOSE COMMENTS OF LOOKING LIKE A HOODRAT BECAUSE I’M JUST AS MUCH A LADY IF I DIDN’T HAVE THEM.

  • chris chris

    Why do people keep commenting on this magazine cover as if it’s new. This is from her last CD.

  • Slide Like A Fresh Pair of Gators (Keepin’ It Real – D’Original)

    Ladies, enough with the “tramp stamps” and other horrific tattoos all over your bodies, already. That sh*t ain’t cute.

    @Bossip

    I agree with that 100%

  • c from stl

    Brandy, two things: 1. The rest of a person’s body looks like crap at 80 too….so, the tattoos will just look a mess along with the rest of the wrinkles and shrivels. 2. never mind, I have nothing nice to say here so I just won’t say it at all…. :(

  • Cp

    Brandy,
    Your right you will look a hot mess at 80 and tacky at any age

  • niasia

    Ok didn’t she think of that when she got them. I have tattoos and when I get old they should look fine. For one you should put them in places that dont sag. The lower back, that is not going to sag, wrists won’t sag (these must be small)People have known me for years and somehow missed my tatt on my wrist that is a good thing. I plan on getting one between my shoulder blades that skin wont sag. And you should always have classy tatts that actually have a meaning and can easily be hidden…so no flowers and butterflies and ish! And if you are a female your ARMS, BREAST and legs shouldn’t have any tattoos! Just not classy!

  • nina

    she looks a hot mess now i can’t stand this chick she is not cute at all.

  • hey girl

    forget about the tattoo what about that hideous faceof hers … at least she can cover the tatto hehehe

  • InsertDopeWordsHere

    To each, his own. But tattoos for me.

  • InsertDopeWordsHere

    correction: NO tattoos for me.

  • http://bossip Shaunie27

    I don’t have one… But I do want one maby on my ankle or a small one on my wrist but I would never put one that big on my back, neck. breasts or arms like TINY from the other day or Keyshia Cole… It looks nice now but wait til gravity kicks in…

  • roosevelt taylor

    she looking hella good on that picture right there though

  • free

    tats are beautiful. you just need to put a lot of thought into it, it should compliment your body, and be done by a professional. a light-skinned body with a big colorful “Tiny” on the boobie is too much.

  • http://bossip on the loose

    Let me guess…it’s the “scratch n’ sniff” edition ?
    Yuck !

  • Simply Esctasy

    At 80 years old who’s gonna even see that tattoo on her lower back except for her husband…(oops, I forgot she lied about that) Anyways, she act like she’s gonna be doing spreads like this, tooting that ass up for everybody to see at that age. She should be more concerned with her hair line than those tattoos.

  • Juancito

    That’s real! People going crazy with getting inked up.

  • DontBeScurred

    Tattoos have always been tacky. Enough with the body graffiti/Doggystyle Art.

  • K-mia

    @ Niasia
    I agree. Its really not a big deal. Besides when you’re 70 you shouldnt be showing your ass off anyway, so nobody is going to see it, except for maybe your significant other, who already loves you.
    I have a couple tats, one a few inches below my waistline on the right side, my mom always said how bad it’ll look when im old….well i wont be prancing around in low cut jeans, and two piece bathing suits when im old, it doesnt matter.

  • so true

    BRANDY LOOKS GOOD IN THAT POSITION. LOL

    I AGREE AT 70 OR 80 YEARS OLD IT SHOULDNT EVEN MATTER. BUT THE FOLKS WITH TATTS ON THEY NECK, HANDS, AND FACE THEY GONNA LOOK LIKE CRAZY. LIKE GAME AND LIL WAYNE THEY THINK THEY LOOK COOL NOW BUT SO DIDNT MIKE TYSON AND DENNIS RODMAN. LOL

  • Spiceema

    Brandy is cute 2 me. and I have 3 tatts n I want more I don’t think anything is wrong wit em long as they ain’t 2 big or anything.

  • jim beez

    I AINT GOT NO TATS BUT I DO WANT TO COVER THIS SCAR ON MY BICEP I GOT RUNNING FROM THE POLICE. I DIDNT GET CAUGHT

  • Felony shoes…that’s y they callem SNEAKERS

    @ jim beez

    DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! LMMFAO!

  • Just Bored…

    Tattoos are trashy anyways. I would never mark up my skin like that. No matter how classy your dress is, if you have tattoos all over your skin you still look tacky…Prime example: Keisha Cole.

  • Darlene

    I agree brandy i hate this damn tattoo on my arm!!!!!

  • Cosign

    Brandy, Monica (with that big ass tattoo on her arm), Mary J (same thing), Keyshia Cole (same thing)…. they just look gross. Not cute AT ALL. Then when they try to dress up—-it just doesn’t look right. Sorry, but it doesn’t. YUCK!

  • RE RE

    @Brandy your ass is ugly and please dont start bending over and being naked it’s over.

  • wow

    i can’t beleive the hate being spewed out on here from you mofo’s. what’s with everyone saying she’s ugly?? she is not. i think yall are just jealous. i do feel sorry for what she has been through. tats are ugly and tacky and they definately look ugly, saggy, and wrinkly by the time you start aging. so i’ve never got one. and i’m glad she warned her daughter not to make the same mistakes she did. but of course, her daughter will make her own mistakes. and you all know very well that this woman did not purposely try to kill someone. she didn’t ask to be in an accident that killed the other driver. and it scarred her emotionally. we should all be happy for her that she survived the crash and moved on with herself. this is exactly why i’m so sick of you black folks. yall complain about other races attacking us, but yet we black people tear eachother down. instead of trying to support brandy, you ignorant mofo’s bring her down. black haters i’m calling yall out. you should really be ashamed of yourselves. you know who yall are. LEAVE THE HATE IN ’08!! smh.

  • ShutUp

    i hav a big ass colorful tattoo on my forarm- love it!
    niggas need 2 stop tellin females wat they need 2 do to look cute an fix up they self! if a tattoo takes away from a girls beauty than she wasnt that great in tha first place an WHERE you put your tattoo doesn’t decide who you are so enough with tha tramp stamp, this is not highschool, grow up!

  • Amber

    I’m with Junk.

  • KoolKelly

    Finally. People need to remember that if you can’t afford to get rid of them, they’re like yearbook pictures, out there forever. What’s cute when you’re single and a childless 18 isn’t so hot when you’re 55, especially those sunburst ones around your navel.

    If you get a chance, check out the snl skit on youtube about removing tramp stamps.

    Also, I agree with Junk.

  • Shu Da Eff

    Who the F**K are you to delegate what’s cute and what isn’t? Tramp stamps in my opinion are wack and outdated, but tattoos as a whole are an excellent form of expression when the necessary precautions are taken. So from the bottom of my heart: F*** YOU.

  • Just Me

    How funny is it that people feel that they have the right to judge and comment on what someone else is doing… Why do you care what someone ELSE wants to do w/ their body?? Tramp stamps?? Wow that’s deep… but piercings, makeup, and push up bras are ok??? Yall are crazy w/ the stupid question of “What is the tattoo going to look like when you’re 80″…It’s going to look like the same 80 year old body parts… Damn, get a life people!!
