Kelsy Karter Reveals Her Harry Styles Tattoo Was Fake

Kelsy Karter, the singer who went viral for tattooing Harry Styles‘ face on her own face, has revealed that the tattoo was fake all along.

The tattoo was part of a promotional stunt for her song “Harry,” which she recorded over six months ago and was inspired by the One Direction singer.

In a video titled, “How I rocked the entire world for $300,” Kelsy details the story behind the tattoo.

“What would the rock legends that inspired me have done in 2019?” she questioned before coming up with the idea for the tattoo. “To pull this off, we needed a celebrity tattoo artist to make it look real… He traced Harry‘s 2017 Rolling Stone cover, applied it to my face, and then a special FX makeup artist did her thing.”

“BTW. We know it looked ridiculous. That was the point,” Kelsy added.

“The tattoo was not real,” Kelsy said at the end of the video. “I love that Harry has introduced rock to a new generations of fans. Plus he’s nice to look at… This has always been about Rock & Roll. ‘Harry’ is an anthem for the fans. The tattoo is gone. All that’s left is the music. Which is what my rockstar team and I had planned all along.”
