Elle King Gets Butt Tattoo Dedicated to Men Who’ve Helped Her Raise Her Son
That’s one way to say thanks! Elle King took to Instagram to share her permanent tribute to the men in her life.
The 34-year-old country singer welcomed her son, Lucky, in 2021, with her then-fiancé, Dan Tooker. A year after their rumored split, King got some very unique ink in a delicate spot in honor of the men in her life who she says have helped raise her son.
“I always said I’d get my baby daddy’s name tattooed on my butt…so I did,” King captioned the series of pics of herself with celebrity tattoo artist, JonBoy. “I got ‘brethren’ for the men helping me raise my son. I love you guys so much, I wouldn’t want to do life without yall ❤️me and Lucky love you so much🗡️🫶 shoutout to my man @jonboytattoo for being the illest 🤘”
King tagged a series of men, not including Tooker, in the pics. Musicians Dave Sherman, Dave Scalia, Joseph M, and Paul DeVincenzo are all tagged in the image.
In the pics, King wears a thong in order to give JonBoy access to her right butt cheek, which later sports very delicate script ink.
The “Ex’s & Oh’s” singer is no stranger to body art. She already has a skull and flowers on her lower back, nearing the spot on her booty with the fresh ink.
King and Tooker met in 2019, at Tooker’s Boston tattoo shop, and welcomed their son, Lucky, in September 2021. The singer began to spark speculation of a split in 2023 when she wrote on Instagram, “In my me myself n i era 😘💅🏻,” and later wore a jacket with the word “Single,” across the back.
In June 2023, King spoke with ET, playing coy about the status of her relationship.
“I do love love, I think that love is a beautiful thing. All I can say is that me and my family are really happy and my kid is doing well and I feel great. So, that’s what life looks like for me right now,” King told ET when asked of her “me myself n i” era and blazing jacket.
She also shared that she’s currently focused own her career and her little boy.
“There’s always new music on the way for me, I’m constantly making music,” King shared. “I love my son and I love music, those are my driving forces.”
In March, King posted a photo montage, captioning it, “Oh just better than ever. Consistency. Rooted in truth and reality. My baby is happy. Mama is doing well! #SingleMomsRuleTheWorld”
King recently made headlines for performing a Dolly Parton tribute while “f**king hammered” at the Grand Ole Opry earlier this year.
The Opry went on to issue a formal apology to concertgoers, while the fallout led King to postpone and reschedule several shows.
Last month, King apologized for the incident on Instagram, writing, “To everyone sending me love because I’m human and already talked to Dolly, I love you. To everyone who told me to k*ll myself, I love you too.”
