One of the first tattoos Halsey ever got was on their foot. They told iHeart Radio, "It's an anchor, and it has my mom's initials in it, and she has the same one. We got them together. I was really young to have a tattoo, but my mom is covered in them." The musician explained their mother's influence on them, who they said has a full tattoo sleeve and their tongue pierced: "So looking up to her, I always saw it as an artistic thing. My mom's really artistic and just really, really badass." While their mom was trying to deter them from getting more tattoos (a foot tattoo is a world of pain), it clearly had the opposite effect.

As soon as their 16th birthday, Halsey had two roses inked into their shoulder. "It's still one of my favorite tattoos because I'll never dislike it. It just is cool-looking," they told iHeart Radio. The world of capitalism agrees. If you want the aesthetic but can't handle the commitment of a tattoo, you can buy a sticker resembling their tattoo.
