While very few people have actually seen Dolly Parton's infamous body art, she and other celebrities have confirmed she does have several. On an appearance on The Tonight Show in 1996, host Jay Leno caught a glimpse of a couple on her arm through a cut out in her dress (via Closer Weekly). Parton told Leno that she had a little butterfly and a guardian angel. And they aren't your typical tattoos with black lines or script lettering — they're pastel-colored! "I have a tendency to scar easy... So I started having little pastel tattoos — pastel butterflies or little things — just to cover scars," she told Sounds Like Nashville, again echoing the same reason for getting them.
Controversial comedian Roseanne Barr revealed to Craig Ferguson in a 2011 interview that she had seen Parton's many tattoos, saying, "She showed me. She's got all these awesome tattoos all over her body — no black or blue lines, all like, pastel gorgeous bows all over everything" (via Fox News).
