Jelly Roll Regrets 96 Percent Of His Tattoos

Jelly Roll is known for his many tattoos, including his facial tattoos. What may come as a surprise to some is the fact that Jelly regrets most of his ink. He said in a recent interview, when asked about his tattoo regrets, "Oh, 96 percent of them. I have more tattoo regrets than 'Man, I'm glad I got this.'"

Jelly added, "How you think at 16 years old and how you think at 36 years old are so dramatically far apart from each other. It's embarrassing."

There are a few tats that Jelly doesn't regret, though. He noted, "The tour tattoos I would keep cause they do have a cool story, but the rest of these are like, yeah dude, I can't believe I thought like that."

He also gave an example of one of his regrets, explaining, "I've got a Gerber baby smoking a joint tattooed on my arm. I don't know who authorized this in my life or who was around me at this moment, but I hate them."

When we asked him about the the origin of his nickname and professional moniker, Jelly recently said, "Well, it started with my mother. I was a chunky little kid who loved donuts, and every Sunday after church, I would get one, and my mom would call me Little Jelly Roll."

He continued, "And then I had a high school friend named One-Armed Clay, [in] middle school actually, that started calling me that because he knew it was my mama's nickname for me, and it stuck once One-Armed Clay started calling me that."

Jelly then pointed out that nicknames are not the same as stage names for one reason. He asked, "Do you know what the difference is between a nickname and a stage name? You wanna guess? You don't get to pick your nickname. [But] you could pick your stage name. I would have been Zeus the Warrior or something if I got to pick it. I think that's what makes a nickname so cool."

It is uncommon for a country music star to be born in Nashville, Tennessee. Most of them migrate to Music City to make their country music dreams come true. However, a handful of country stars were born in Nashville, and a few more come from the great state of Tennessee.

Garth, Reba, Blake Shelton, and Carrie Underwood are from Oklahoma, and Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, and many more are from the Peach State of Georgia. Keith Urban was born in New Zealand and Lainey Wilson and Jordan Davis hail from Louisianna.

Let's look at those country stars who started in Tennessee, where Nashville dreams were just hours away.
