That might well be the motivation for one of the Sugarland singer’s three tattoos. She has the word “believe” inked onto her wrist, a spot that she’s bound to see frequently. She also has a flower embedded on her hip and a winged heart — very similar to the cover art for Love On The Inside — on her right arm.
“People tattoo for different reasons,” she told The Colorado Springs Gazette. “I use a tattoo as a marker of time, to be reminded of a time in my life. It is something special and personal. There’s a lyric in my song ‘Take Me as I Am’: ‘We all live with the scars we choose.’ Some scars are given to us and some we choose.”
Jennifer is taking her scars — both the physical ones and the emotional ones — onstage with her these days as Sugarland rolls through its Incredible Machine Tour. The concert schedule leads into the Incredible Machine album, set for release this fall.
“Kristian [Bush] and I wrote all the material and it’s an evolution; it’s growth artistically,” she said. “I have musical ADD or something, and I get bored doing the same thing over and over. I love different sounds, different influences. We are speaking to the human condition, and I think music is leaning that way. Music is so much more than what you wear and your hair.”
Or your tattoos, for that matter. You can catch Sugarland’s Incredible Machine Tour this weekend in the Northeast. They play Mansfield, Mass., on Friday; Holmdel, N.J., on Saturday; and Hartford on Sunday.
