Miley Cyrus Explained Why She Regrets Getting Her Pets Tattooed On Her Arms

Miley Cyrus isn’t the biggest fan of all the ink she’s gotten over the years.

The singer, now 32, got her first tattoo at the age of 17 — the words “just breathe” tattooed on her ribs, in honor of a friend who died of cystic fibrosis and her grandfathers, who both died of lung cancer. She now has over 50 tattoos.

When asked in a new interview by the New York Times about any mistakes she’s made, Miley replied, “A mistake that I made that I still think about is, like, 80% of my tattoos.”

As for which ones specifically she’s no longer too keen on, she continued, “I love my cat, but, like, I didn’t need that.”

In a similar vein, she added, “I love my dog, but, I don’t know, just having a pit bull in every picture for the rest of my life is kind of intense.”

“I don’t regret them enough to laser them,” she added. “There’s just a few I could do without.”

Still, Miley was photographed getting the word “muse” tattooed on her in cursive earlier this week, so she’s not over tattoos themselves.
