background: melanie martinez got her first two tattoos in one session in july 2014 with artist lauren winzer. the larger of the two is a colorful pastel carousel horse on her left forearm. melanie has said that she loved carousels as a child. one of her first singles was the song "carousel" in which uses a carousel as a metaphor for a relationship which is stuck going in circles. the tattoo isn't specifically a reference to the song, but rather both are a reflection of the same aesthetic. "there are certain [tattoos] that mean different things. i loved carousels since i was little, but that's also why i wanted to write a song called carousel, so everything in my life kind of fits together," she told now 105.
