Avril Lavigne Flashes Her Tattoos for Inked Magazine

To her credit, Avril Lavigne has always straddled the line between mainstream pop and punk, and now she's showing off her edgy side yet again with a cover spread and interview in Inked Magazine's June/July issue, which PopEater is exclusively premiering. In the interview, Lavigne discusses everything from her up-in-the-air relationship with Sum 41 rocker Deryck Whibley, love in general and, yes, her tattoos. After the jump, a hi-rez version of the cover for you to check out her tats ... at least the ones she can publicly show off.

Inked Magazine editor Rocky Rakovic tells PopEater that the publication is incredibly pumped to have Miss Lavigne on their cover. "Avril was the ultimate crush for guys hanging around the half-pipe in the early 2000s," Rakovic says. "And we were happy to shoot her for her June/July music issue as she transforms from skater girl to goddess -- we are even more smitten now."

So what's Lavigne's favorite tattoo of all? "My favorite tattoo is this one," Avril said, lifting up her shirt to expose her rib cage, which donned ink blaring the 4-letter F-bomb. "It's my favorite word!" Lavigne exclaimed during the shoot.

What else did Lavigne have to say during the Inked interview?

On Her Relationship With Deryck Whibley: "We celebrated his 30th birthday together," Lavigne says. "It was a big one and I was like, 'Lets get 30 tattoos. I will if you will.'" Still, Rakovic says Lavigne insisted they're just friends at this point. (Hint: She's rumored to be with 'Hills' hunk Brody Jenner.)

Fans Who Get Avril-related Tattoos: "I've seen people with my portrait, and some people put my name on them after I sign my autograph. I signed one girl's ass and she tattooed it. I was like, 'Ooh, I better do a really good job!'"

On Potential New Tats: "I want to get a big-ass-motherf*****g tattoo on my forearm. I'm going to wait a few years and make sure I still want it then. I have to wait for that special someone to come back into my life. I want to do a big-ass heart with a flag through it with a name. I want it to be a huge experience and statement."
