One of the questions that have continued to riddle fans of Dolly Parton is the country singer’s reasoning behind wearing long sleeves and gloves. The acclaimed singer, who rose to prominence following her association withThe Porter Wagoner Showand the success of her first album,Hello, I’m Dolly, has always preferred wearing fingerless gloves or long sleeves in public.

Although some reported that it was due to the potential scars on her hand from a corrective hand surgery, some fans speculated that it might be linked to the singer’s tattoos. Tackling the hoopla surrounding her arms, Parton revealed that it wasn’t as serious as everyone was making it out to be.

But during an interview withVanity Fair, the9 to 5singer delved deeper into the subject, stating that most of the tattoos were because of her“tendency to have keloid scar tissue”. Elaborating on it, Parton shared that those scars leave a purple tinge, which cannot be removed, and clarified that most of her tattoos are pastels and not her attempt to“make some big, bold statement”.

I don’t really like to make a big to-do of [the tattoos] because people make such a big damn deal over every little thing… [I] kind of have a purple tinge that I can never get rid of. I’m not trying to make some big, bold statement.
