HALSEY’S HAD ONE HELL OF A YEAR—FROM HER WOMEN’S MARCH MOMENT TO HER CURRENT HOPELESS FOUNTAIN KINGDOM WORLD TOUR. WEATHERING THE STORMS OF HER PAST, SHE’S CHARTED AN ATYPICAL COURSE TO STARDOM.
Halsey likes serendipity—otherwise known as a happy accident—so it’s only natural that she would have the word tattooed beneath her left breast. For similar reasons, she has hopeless inked on her left butt cheek, although in this case the word also happens to be connected with the number-one album that has made her a star.
“I don’t like to overthink these things,” she explains as we head toward New York’s Bang Bang tattoo parlor on a hot spring afternoon to meet up with her favorite tattoo artist, JonBoy (also responsible for the tats of Kendall Jenner and Justin Bieber), for her 29th addition. Among her other tattoos are a pair of dice, a dagger, some blooming roses, a Playboy bunny, and the word salad (“because I need to eat more of it”). “I never know ahead of time what I’m going to get.”
“You were thinking about a bee,” prompts her manager Anthony Li. “A bee?” asks Halsey, who’s currently in the middle of her world tour supporting the album Hopeless Fountain Kingdom, in which bees are a recurring symbol. “I was thinking about getting a butterfly.…”
Because butterflies are symbols of the soul? She shrugs. “I just think they have a cool power.”
