Whitney Houston was one talented, award winning, recording-breaking diva, selling over 200 million records in her career. In terms of sales and some 35 years later, her debut and sophomore albums remain the biggest-selling first two albums of any band or singer in history.
Whitney’s talents extended into acting, starring with Kevin Costner in The Bodyguard (1992), which happens to be one of my favourite guilty pleasure films. Whitney’s version of “I Will Always Love You” is just so iconic and, dare I say it, even better than Dolly Parton’s original song.
It was genuinely sad to see Whitney succumb to addiction and ultimately lose her life on February 11, 2012. The music world lost a legend on that day over a decade ago.
Usually when a famous person passes away, I’ll see an influx of tribute tattoos, however that didn’t seem to be the case with Whitney. There’s currently so few decent tattoos of her – something I think should change.
With a Whitney Houston tattoo you could go full on ’80s style, inspired by her earlier music videos; or choose a more soft and etheral look from “Run To You”; maybe her futuristic and bad ass persona from “Queen of the Night”; or simply a favourite photograph of Whitney. One day, you might find your tattoo added to this very list.
