Amy Winehouse covered topless tattoo for Grammys

Amy Winehouse’s rehab stint has apparently borne fruit as the singer peacefully complied with Grammys producers’ request to cover up a tattoo on her arm which features topless woman. The 24-year singer used her black eyeliner to draw a bikini over the offending area before she performed for the awards ceremony via satellite.
Producers of the show had shown concern over the graphic nature of the tattoo on the singer’s left arm.

A source was quoted as saying:

Amy drew a little black bikini top on the large topless female tattoo on her arm, so as not to offend any of America’s puritanical viewers.


Ever since the now-infamous Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl half-time show in 2004, censorship on American awards show has become more severe.

The cover-up must have also comforted Amy’s mom Janis, who has admitted she isn’t a big fan of her daughter’s choice of body art, saying:

That dreadful one saying ‘Blake’s’ on her breast- I hate that. It was like when Amy got her ‘Daddy’s Girl’ tattoo. She asked me, ‘Do you want me to get mummy tattooed, too?’ I said, ‘No, don’t worry. That’s not my thing.’

I wonder what Amy’s ‘mummy’ tattoo would have looked like!
