It’s not the message or size of the tattoo that would be imprudent, it’s that arriving to the CMA Awards shirtless is generally frowned upon.

Did you know Little Big Town‘s Jimi Westbrook has a massive tribute to his father on his body? Or that Kane Brown‘s chest tattoo involves an ex-girlfriend and a previous bad tattoo decision?
If you knew Dolly Parton has tattoos, you’re well ahead of the curve and if you’ve seen them, your name is probably Carl Dean.

Scroll down to find nine that you never knew about, forgot or are just flat out worthy of revisiting. And of course if you know of more, share this post and tag that artist.
