Ke$ha Uses Needle and Pen to Tattoo a Fan

By Christine Fenno Posted Mar 6th 2011 12:43PM

More of a tattoo DIY crafter than a tattoo artist, Ke$ha decided earlier this week to use some handy everyday objects to ink the ankle of a fan.

As seen in a clip posted recently on the pop star's Facebook page, the young admirer isn't about to let silly concerns about infection or safety get in the way of his excitement.

The singer, who just turned 24, is confident and upbeat during the backstage encounter, during which she told her superfan, "OK, it might hurt," while branding him with small, dark blur (that's actually a dollar sign symbol).

With the new tattoo a done deal, Ke$ha sealed the procedure with an affectionate hug. And you have to wonder: (a) what do experienced, professional tattoo artists, such as Kat Von D, think about amateurs who ink each other, and (b) will more of Ke$ha's autograph seekers start baring their stinky feet and requesting a permanent souvenir tattoo the moment they meet her?

As pointed out by the Huffington Post, Ke$ha has marveled about the ease of creating her own tattoos before: "A friend of mine told me you can [make a tattoo] with pen ink and a safety pin, and I was like, 'That's amazing,'" she told Paper magazine last year. "I saw this hot dude recently and I gave him a tattoo sitting in the lobby of the hotel. I was just like, 'Can I borrow a pen and a sewing kit?' I think I got an admirer out of that one."

a) who cares what Kat thinks...let her go run off with someone elses husband b) if your that stupid to get a homemade tat you deserve the infection

The fan better get tested for Hepatitis, who knows what that piece of trash is carrying.

No lie. My friend got Hep C from a dirty needle. That "jailhouse ink" is true art. NOT!

Amen to that. My daughter insisted on getting a tattoo when she turned 18. Since I failed to talk her out of it (believe me, I tried), my wife and I saw to it that she had it done at a licensed reputable tattoo parlor.

Is this dumba-s-s blonde asking to be arrested...Because most states have it as performing a criminal act without a license.

This says a lot about her fan base.

Poeple just get more sick and twisted everyday.
I have never ever met anyone with a tattoo that had an sense at all. Writing on yourself permanently is the proof in itself.

By RDrake

You can't lump all people that get tatoos together as people who have no sense. While this fool clearly is an idiot for letting a skanky looking pop star give him a tatoo, not all people with tatoos are that dumb. I have a college degree and I have several tatoos, each with a meaning behind it, that I got from clean, legitimate shops.

Are they sure that was a guy??????

By Justme

Who knows, you can't see him in the photo. Only his leg. (the one with the big hoop earrings isn' the leg's owner...)

By dawn ruminski

@justme....from the video, the one with the hoop earrings IS the leg owner. Hence my question:)

can she tattoo my pecker? Why do we always have to hear about some biotch with the almost 11 years older boyfriend? Who gives a shiite?

who cares that your boyfriend is 11 years older than you are, and where you met him. Stick to the subject of the nasty tattoo. You must be getting paid to advertise the web site

By Ken

She looks like a street walker.

One, the "tattoo" doesn't even look like a dollar sign. Two, that's because she isn't a professional tattoo artist, so why in the world would you allow her to tattoo you. Three, it can actually be a good thing, that you can't tell what it is, because when you realize how meaningless her music and "message" is, and how stupid it is to get a dollar sign tattooed on you, you can pretend it's something else.

By GodsAlone

Jennifer Nettles (Sugarland lead singer) autographed a fan's arm, so that the fan can get it autographed. That's the way to do it, not for the artist to actually perform the tat herself.

It scares me how STUPID people are today. I don't know if they are that much more stupid or if we just hear about it more often but it makes me sick to think that today's young people will some day be running the world when I'm old and gray. God help us all. Somehow you can't seem to find any sympathy for people that are this much of an idiot. Wait until this fan gets some sort of horrendous infection or moves on to a new idol. Ask a doctor, they'll tell you about people who have almost or even lost body parts due to infections OR, even died and that's from licensed tattoo people. I tell you, God must just shake his head in disbelief at the idiotic things people are doing today.

She's got quite a career ahead of her...on her back.
