Jessie James Decker says she wants her ‘dirty’ tattoos removed… adding she doesn’t feel that way about other people’s ink
Jessie James Decker had an exchange about tattoos with her Instagram followers on Wednesday, after commenting that she wanted them removed and calling them “trashy.”
The 35-year-old singer took to Instagram Stories with a few images of her tattoos and asked her 4.2 million followers for recommendations for tattoo removal in the Nashville area.
“I want this removed as soon as possible,” said the Vicenza, Italian-born beauty. “I want all my tattoos removed.”
In the shot, Decker, who owns a clothing brand called Kittenish, showed off a tattoo on her neck that resembled the zodiac sign of Aries.
Decker continued, “They’re messy and I’m over it. BUT this is the priority.’

The Boys in the Summer singer said she hoped the ink would be off “in three visits or less.”
Decker, who is a mother of three with her husband, NFL alum Eric Decker — daughter Vivianne, nine, and sons Eric Jr., seven, and Forrest, five — then posted another message to the site clarifying that her views about tattoos was specifically about her tattoos, not tattoos in general.
“Just to clarify for the sensitive…I think MY tattoos are worthless and I don’t want MINE anymore,” she said. ‘Not yours. I love your tattoos. Get lost. [Okay]?’
In the accompanying image, Decker showed off a peace sign while displaying a tattoo of a bumblebee on her wrist.
Decker has been outspoken when it comes to body positivity issues in the past: Last November, she spoke out about people claiming she photoshopped a vacation photo to make her kids look better.
“When I posted the photos from our vacation and included the kids bending crazy on the beach on our Thanksgiving trip, I had NO idea it would get the response,” Decker said.

She continued, “Being accused of photoshopping abs in my kids (I can’t help but laugh) or… the opposite of “overtraining” our kids makes me realize how bizarre our world has become in regards to the body and what is normal and what is not.’
Decker said she dismissed the criticism and thought it was bizarre that people reacted that way to the photo.
“We preach about body positivity and body acceptance, but my kids having a huge amount of genetic and built-up muscle through athletics is ‘weird?'” she said. “I want to raise my kids to take pride in their bodies and work hard, from Vivi’s elite competitive gymnastics to Eric Jr who wants to be just like dad as an NFL receiver to little Forrest who dances his heart out for hours.”
Decker later said Us weekly that she was surprised by the feedback on her post.
“I literally posted that and didn’t even think twice,” she told the outlet. “So hours go by and all of a sudden I’m like, “Wait, what?”
“Like, I couldn’t believe the response. I was so confused, but there was never a moment when I got upset.”
