The "Jolene" singer has never revealed her tattoos in photographs only told Westward mag that she has gotten the ink to comprehend upwards scarring.

"I accept a few picayune tattoos hither and there," she explained. "Most of my tattoos came because I'yard very fair, and I have a tendency to scar when I become whatever kind of cutting."

She added that she's also gotten tattoos to "have the sting out" of her previous surgeries and if the "scars didn't heal properly". The country music icon shared that they aren't "heavy, night tattoos" but instead are "all pastel".

"Butterflies don't sting, they don't bite and they are so beautiful," Parton said. "And I just kind of related to them with my ain personality. I claimed them as my little symbol."

"I had a picayune beehive tattooed over it — a little xanthous-and-brown beehive with a tiny little bee on superlative of the hive," she explained. "The mouth of information technology is that little sinkhole."
