• Amy Winehouse Traditional Tattoo Design On Arm

Among Amy Winehouse’s tattoos was one of a Native American feather on her left inside forearm. Described in an interview as a symbol of courage, this feather tattoo was one of Amy’s first and, for her, it teemed of her Native American Indian heritage. 

• LIGHTS Traditional Tattoo Design On Arm

On March 5, 2018, Lights and several members of her crew got matching tattoos during the group’s We Were Here Tour. On a day off in the middle of the tour, Scott Sonner inked them at the Divine Machine Tattoo shop in Buffalo, NY.

Since her debut album, she has gotten a tattoo for every single album, but she hadn’t gotten one for a tour until this one. The tour this time was, however, particularly significant. On April 8th, when the final performance took place, she posted: “That’s a wrap on #WeWereHereTour holy shit the best tour of my life, I love you all more than I can explain. I love my crew and band and am so proud of the last two and half months!”

Tattoos on red gas cans are inspired by the “We Were Here” music video and issue #4 of Skin&Earth, both of which tell the same story. The character Enaia Jin in LIGHTS carries around a gas can purchased from a convenience store, where she finally uses it to start a fire under a truck. During the tattoo process, LIGHTS’ Skin&Earth album logo was added to the gas can. There is a replica of this design on the t-shirts for the We Were Here tour. It is noteworthy that in both the video and comic, the gas can displays a different company logo incorporating a bird and an oil rig.
