"Tattling about the tats!\r\n\r\nJust in time for her 42nd album to drop, the long-swirling rumor of Dolly Parton&amp;apos;s secret tattoos has once again resurfaced. The theory, as pointed out on Jezebel, is that the 68-year-old legendary country singer is covered in body art, hidden by her long sleeve tops.\r\n\r\nHowever, on Tuesday, May 13, Parton clarified the rumor. &amp;quot;People said the other day that the reason you wear sleeves is that you have snake tattoos all over you, and I said, &amp;apos;No, I don&amp;apos;t,&amp;apos;&amp;quot; the Steel Magnolias star told Savannah Guthrie on Today.\r\n\r\nShe did admit to being inked though. &amp;quot;I do have a few little tattoos, but they were mostly done to cover scars because I&amp;apos;m so fair,&amp;quot; Parton admitted. &amp;quot;So it started with that, and I&amp;apos;m not really one to have tattoos, but I do have a few and they&amp;apos;re not where you can see them.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nOther than a colorful coverup to her scars, the godmother to Miley Cyrus revealed another purpose for the hidden art. Parton said, &amp;quot;They&amp;apos;re mostly for my husband, [Carl Thomas Dean].&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
