Demi Lovato fires back at angry tattoo artist: 'I was too drunk to remember you'
Demi Lovato has fired back at the disgruntled tattoo artist who blasted her for inking over the lips design she gave the singer for free and peeing on her parlour's restroom seat, insisting she probably shouldn't have agreed to work with a drunk teenager in the first place.
Ashley McMullen took to Instagram earlier this week (beg27Apr15) and took aim at the Skyscraper star for covering up the kiss tattoo with a rose without ever crediting her.
The ink artist raged, "Thanks for getting the tattoo covered up I
did for free that you specifically asked for. Not to mention you
didn't even have the courtesy to offer me any money in the first
place. You p**sed all over our toilet seat and you made a fool of
yourself. What a shame that people look up to you. The tattoo you
covered it with kinda sucks too. Looks like you might forever be a
goon."
After appearing to take the high road by simply responding to
McMullen with a series of emojis, Lovato took to social media on
Thursday (30Apr15) to respond to the tattooist.
She tweeted, "First, I would like to say I'm really sorry I don't
remember you or getting tattooed by you, but as you know I was
f**ked up and sometimes people act like '#turds' when they're
loaded. Second, I apologize for my '#peepeetoiletseat'... That
wasn't on purpose, I was simply a drunken teenage girl. Lastly, I
apologize for making fun of your work... But... if I were you, I
wouldn't claim that one (tattoo) because it looked more like an
open vagina (or even a butt hole as my 8 year old little sister
called it at the time).
"I also wouldn't be admitting to the fact that you tattooed a very
intoxicated 18 year old on a tour bus without the proper judgment
that most legit tattoo artists have of saying, 'Hmm... This
underage kid is wasted, maybe I shouldn't permanently ink a hot
pink kiss mark on this girl's wrist...? Oh well... F**k it, she's
famous'."
She added, "Maybe next time you should wait for the person to get
your tattoo sober so they would actually remember getting the
tattoo in the first place, or perhaps you could've thought about
all of this as a blessing that I forgot everything about you - that
was until you outted (sic) yourself for the now internationally
infamous 'vagina tattoo'."
