Kesha Gets “C” Foot Tattoo for Conan O’Brien

Pop star Kesha may finally be over the obnoxious dollar sign in her stylized stage name, but the inked-up singer hasn’t quite given up on her love for random tattoos. Kesha kicked off 2014 with a smiley face tattoo on her foot, for example, and just last week, she appeared on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, where she debuted a small “c” she had inked on her foot the night before, in honor of the late night talk show host. Kesha’s latest tattoo is inked on the outside of her right foot, near her ankle, and features a lowercase letter “c” done in black, which the singer apparently inked herself, DIY-style.

A yellow-haired Kesha appeared as a guest on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien on August 14, to promote the ABC series “Rising Star,” but her tiny “c” foot tattoo definitely stole the show. “I have to tell you this before I leave you,” Kesha said to Conan. “I was so excited to see you last night I was in a frenzy. I was running around with my cats. I tattooed a ‘c’ on my foot.” Kesha isn’t the only one sporting a “c” tattoo tribute to Conan O’Brien though. Kesha said to Conan, “I did it last night for you and my assistant, who is the sweetest little angle. I said come here, and I chased her down and I gave her one too.”

Since she finished treatment at a Chicago-area rehab facility in March, Kesha has made an effort to turn over a new leaf, beginning with changing her name from Ke$ha to Kesha, even on her social media accounts. The dollar sign symbol was initially inspired by Kesha’s dollar sign tattoo on her hand, which was inked as an ironic gesture during a time when the pop star was struggling financially, but quickly became a representation of her crazy party lifestyle. Now that Kesha has pulled in the reins a little bit after her stint in rehab, we’re happy to see she is staying true to her tattoo-loving self, but in a more low-key way.

Kesha is best known for her random collection of tattoos – in addition to her unique style and brightly-colored hair, that is – and her most famous are the “YEAH!” tattoo on her foot, the dollar sign tat on her hand, and her “SUCK IT!” inner lip tattoo, most of which don’t have any particular meaning for the 27-year-old. So, as seemingly random as it is to have a tattoo tribute to Conan O’Brien, at least her “c” foot tattoo stands for something, right?? And if Kesha decides that she no longer likes having a tattoo dedicated to a talk show host, at least she can add a few more letters to her “c” tat and make it say “cool,” or something, right? “YEAH!”
