These tattoos can actually not be considered separate from the tattoo of the topless pin-up with the text 'Girl' below it. Although never confirmed, the horseshoe could have been a lucky charm. The top one says 'Daddy’s' above a horseshoe and is obviously a tribute to her father. The 'Hello Sailor' tattoo on her abdomen is another example of a mischievous tattoo.Īmy had four tattoos on her left arm. The ‘A’ could possibly refer to her former boyfriend Alex Claire or simply to the 'Ace of hearts’ (the ace of hearts in a deck of cards). Fans do not agree on the meaning of this. She also had a ‘romantic’ tattoo placed on her ring finger: a heart with the letter ‘A’. Amy apparently wanted this tattoo covered with a new tattoo. The tattoo was above her left breast and was placed above a ‘pocket’. The same applied for her 'Blake's' tattoo. The tattoo was not of great quality and she said many times that she did not intend for this tattoo to be permanent. She was only 15 back then, and in her own words, 'carefree and mischievous'. Amy had more than 10, some more meaningful than others.Īmy’s first tattoo was one of the popular cartoon character, Betty Boop. The best way to feel connected with their idol was to recreate her distinctive tattoos, whether or not permanent. Fans published covers of her numbers on You Tube, wore T-shirts with illustrations of her or copied her look and hairstyle. People started looking for ways in which to honor ‘their’ Amy very quickly. When she died in 2011 it unleased a shock wave on her fans and other musicians. The fact that she often made the news with less pleasant things, like drug and alcohol abuse, did nothing to change this.

Not just her music, also her no-nonsense personality and striking personality made her extremely popular.

In no time, she was adored by millions of fans throughout the world, certainly after the release of her album ‘Back to black’ in 2006.
