Halsey Gets Tattoo Literally SECONDS Before Going On Stage For ‘SNL’ & I Love It

Halsey is the definition of a total badass in my book. Just seconds before heading to the Saturday Night Live stage on Saturday, the singer got and debuted a new tattoo. 

The ink came right before she performed with Lil Wayne for their new song “Can’t Be Broken.” The rapper was SNL’s musical guest, and Halsey made a surprise appearance. Meanwhile, Halsey’s new tattoo was hidden underneath an oversized jacket during the performance. 

“Thank u for making this lil girl’s dreams come true. Just performed “Can’t Be Broken” on @nbcsnl with @LilTunechi!!!!! PINCH ME,” she tweeted. 

She marked the moment in ink and even had Lil Wayne write the lyrics from his song “She Will” on her arm. Halsey showed a close up of the new ink on Instagram and said, “‘On my Libra scale I’m weighin sins and forgiveness’ Got this yatted by @jonboytattoo seconds before walking onstage thanks for writing this one out for me @LilTunechi.”  The photo shows a still reddened tattoo of a scale between the words Sins and Forgiveness. 

Honestly, I am impressed that she pulled off a flawless performance after just getting a tattoo. If that were me, I’d probably wouldn’t have been able to move.
