Jelly Roll makes some questionable decisions.
The rising country music star is covered in tattoos, including those on his face and neck. In an interview with Howard Stern, Jerry Rolle admitted that some of his tattoos were done in unsanitary conditions, leading to him contracting staph infections.
He told Stern that when he was younger he tried to tattoo his face, but the artist rejected him, and it wasn’t until he was tattooed in prison that other artists agreed to work in his studio.

Stern points out that getting a tattoo while incarcerated is definitely unhygienic, and Jelly Roll quickly agrees.
“I got a staph infection from a bad tattoo,” he said. “I learned nothing. You’re talking about stubbornness. But I still went back to the person who gave me staph!”
“It’s crazy what you would do,” he added. “This is next level crazy.”

He said the tattoos on his arms looked “nice” because they were bunched together, but if anyone looked closer they would see “these tattoos are terrible.”

“It’s just bad art,” he admits. “There’s no other way to say it.”
