Paris Jackson Claps Back at Claim Her Tattoos Make Her Look “Dirty”
Paris Jackson doesn’t mind what critics think about her ink.
The 28-year-old daughter of late pop icon Michael Jackson clapped back after an Instagram user commented under a photo of the colorful chakra design inked on her chest, “She is gorgeous, but those tattoos just make her look dirty and takes away from her look.”
Proving that she doesn’t have time for haters, Paris sarcastically replied alongside a cold sweat emoji, “oh no what ever will I do?”
And she didn’t stop there, jokingly telling the user, “i’m dirty without the tattoos.”
Paris has over 80 tattoos on her body, including many in honor of her dad Michael, who died in 2009 at age 50. In 2016, she had the words “Queen of My Heart” in Michael’s handwriting inked on her arm.
“To everyone else he was the King of Pop,” Paris explained of the body art’s meaning in an Instagram post at the time. “To me, well, he was the king of my heart.”
She also has the word “Applehead”—a term of endearment that Michael was known to use with his loved ones—on her foot, with the ink being the 10th piece of art dedicated to her dad.
"He's brought me nothing but joy," she told Rolling Stone in January 2017. "So why not have constant reminders of joy?"
But her ink collection extends beyond just a homage to Michael. As Paris previously explained, tattoos have also helped her find meaning during dark moments, reminding her that she’s “a fighter.”

"The craftsmanship of tattoos will always be a controversy,” she wrote in a since-deleted 2016 Instagram post. “Some people like them, some people absolutely hate them. I appreciate art, I always have, especially when that art means something to me."
"I don't see a dark past anymore. My scars and past of self-hatred have been covered by loving marks, creativity, ingenuity and depth,” she continued. “Sure, I will always carry my past with me, but I see ink as a way of changing for the better, always improving. They represent strength for me."
