Pink’s Birmingham show is the perfect opportunity for a Pink-obsessed fan to customize her new tattoo. A vast Pink fan, Caz Howett, booked to have Pink’s image etched on her arm in October.
Along with booking the tattoo, 52-year-old Caz also purchased tickets for her and their partner to Pink’s Villa Park show on Tuesday (June 13, 2013). Caz was then contacted last week to inform her that there was a cancellation in the Holy Spirit Tattoo parlour, Chesterfield. Roman, the artist, could tattoo Pink before she goes to Brum.
Caz spent seven hours getting her Pink tattoo and £800 on it. And is now hoping to get her Beautiful Trauma ‘signed, sealed and delivered’ by the star. She hopes A Million Dreams will come true when Pink comes to Brum. Caz loves Pink’s Raise Your Glass, Mr President and all of her songs.
From Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, Caz said: “I admire what she stands up for. Her music is so meaningful. She writes about her life in her songs and doesn’t give a ***t. She makes sense.”
Caz said she only has tattoos that are ‘meaningful’ to her, like one of the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis, who she has loved since she was a kid, going to his home, Graceland, in 2017. Or her mum and two dogs who have passed away” She added Pink to her left forearm as a tribute to the singer/trapeze artist who performs on stage.
The tattoo shows a pink image from her World Tour 2019 and a picture of her singing while on a swinging trapeze chair. She never thought she would get it before the Birmingham concert.
Caz said: “I booked the tattoo ages and ages ago – paid the deposit in January for it to be done in October. I booked the tattoo long before I received my Villa Park tickets.
“I got a call a couple days ago from the studio saying they’d had a cancellation. The tattoo was scheduled for the following day. “I finished it on June 8th.”
It was in the tattoo studio where the idea for Pink to sign my tattoo came about. Caz, who has seen Pink in Liverpool before and is going with her partner to Villa Park, with her ‘golden circle’ tickers near the stage.
She went on: “I also wanted a picture of Pink, and a picture of her on trapeze. This is something that no one else does in a show. Everyone in the studio loved the fact that Roman was Holy Spirit was incorporated into the design.
The studio asked me to interview one of their photographers. They said ‘maybe you could get it signed?’ I was like ‘oh, I doubt it’.

The idea to ask Pink to sign a tattoo was born in the tattoo shop. Caz has seen Pink in Liverpool before and is going with her partner to Villa Park, with her ‘golden circle’ tickers near the stage.
She has also had admirers in the past week, including a Next shop assistant who asked: “Is this new?” B****y hell, it’s amazing.
“If I met Pink, that would be incredible in and of itself.” I would be speechless. It would be complete if she signed my arm. Caz will turn 53 in one month.

“Then, it planted seeds in my mind. I’ve tweeted Pink and emailed Marshall Arts Entertainment to ask about her management. It won’t come to pass. That is the worst outcome.
“If she signs it, it is sealed.” It would be everything. If she agrees, the tattoo shop has told me to get her to sign your skin, not the tattoo, because it is still healing. They will permanently tattoo the image if you take a photo.

“If I met Pink, that would be incredible in and of itself.” I’d be at a loss for words. It would be complete if she signed my arm. Caz will turn 53 next month.
