The Real Meaning Behind Pink's Tattoos

Pink's most shocking tattoo is arguably located on her left wrist. It depicts a razorblade over a series of gash marks. The word "Insecurity" is inked underneath it in French. "And that means to me that insecurity will kill you," she told The Independent.

Underneath her tough exterior, Pink is vulnerable to the same nagging insecurities that plague all women, and she doesn't shy away from talking about them. In her song "Happy," she sings about hating her body. She told USA Today that it was inspired by how she felt after having a miscarriage. "You feel like your body hates you and like your body is broken," she said. 

Pink told Redbook that she's been called "not pretty enough" to appear on magazine covers, and she's also noticed how she gets judged at events. "I love wearing a classy gown with tattoos," she told the Mirror. "People on the red carpet are funny because you can see them thinking: 'Wow, that WAS a pretty gown.'"

However, Pink's tattoo seems to be doing its job. Instead of allowing her haters to make her feel insecure, she fights back. In 2018, she responded to a Twitter troll who said that she looked "old" by writing that she has "earned every f***ing minute of my 38 years." She's also learned to focus on what she likes about herself, telling Redbook, "I know my strong points: I work hard, I have talent, I'm funny, and I'm a good person."
