The country music legend Dolly Parton has revealed that she wears gloves and long sleeves to conceal tattoos on her hands and arms. These tattoos were originally inked to cover scar tissue that she developed due to keloid scar tissue. Parton also mentioned that she was trying to cover some scars, and her tattoos are all pastels and are not meant to make a bold statement. Some fans have speculated other reasons for her glove and sleeve choices, such as corrective hand surgery or personal preference, but her creative director clarified that it is Dolly’s personal choice to cover up the scars and tattoos. Despite the speculation, the truth behind Dolly’s fashion statement lies in her personal desire to conceal certain aspects of her hands and arms.
