‘Across’! Jessie James Decker defends wanting to remove her ‘trashy’ tattoos

Doing things her way. Jessie James Decker defended her desire to get rid of her ink while pacifying “sensitive” fans.

“I want this removed as soon as possible. I want all my tattoos removed,” Kittenish’s founder, 35, wrote via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, June 7, pointing to a neck tattoo that appears to be the zodiac sign for Aries. “They’re nasty and I’m over it. BUT this is the priority.”

The “Boys in the Summer” singer asked her followers for recommendations in the Nashville area that would remove the design “in three visits or less.”

Moments later, James Decker shared another post about her tattoos — making it clear she was only interested in positive feedback.

“Just to clarify for the sensitive…I think MY tattoos suck and I don’t want MINE anymore,” she wrote via her Instagram story, highlighting a bumblebee design on her wrist. “Not yours. I like your tattoos. Fuck off. Otay?”

The Just eat author has a history of taking down haters and body-shamers. In November 2022, Decker caused a stir when she shared a photo of her kids on vacation that prominently showed their toned abs.

“When I posted the photos from our vacation and noticed the kids bending crazy on the beach on our Thanksgiving trip I had NO idea it would get the reaction,” she wrote via Instagram in November 2022 in response to the controversial photo. “But being accused of photoshopping abs in my kids (I can’t help but laugh) or… the opposite of ‘overtraining’ our kids makes me realize how bizarre our world has become regarding the body and what is normal is and what is not.”

James Decker added: “We preach about body positivity and acceptance of the body, but for my kids to have a huge amount of genetic and built-up muscle through athletics is ‘weird’? I want to raise my kids to take pride in their bodies and work hard, from Vivi’s elite competitive gymnastics to Eric Jr who wants to be like an NFL receiver dad to little Forrest who dances his heart out for hours.

The country singer – who shares daughter Vivianne, 9, and sons Eric Jr., 7, and Forrest, 5, with husband Eric Dekker – told exclusively Us weekly in January that she is not frightened by the criticism.

“I literally posted that and didn’t even think twice. So hours go by and all of a sudden I’m like, “Wait, what?” I couldn’t believe the reaction,” she explained at the time. “I was so confused, but there was never a moment where it upset me.”

The Dancing with the stars Alum recalled finding it “wild” that some of her followers were so concerned about her children’s muscles.

“They were ordinary [blessed with these] genetics and my kids are extremely active and I’m not going to apologize for it. There are a lot of times when I won’t speak up about things, but it’s my kids and I’m a mama bear,” said James Decker Us. “And to me it was ridiculous. I’m proud of them and they are very active and they have their passions with sports and performance and let’s encourage that.

Three months later, the Just Jesse author trolled mom-shamers as she promoted her latest Kittenish swimwear line.
