Miley Cyrus Says Controversial Breast Tattoo ‘Was Painless’

There has been a lot of talk and controversy surrounding the Miley Cyrus’ Tattoo which the media went wild for a few weeks ago.

But today is the first time Miley Cyrus has publicly spoken about the tattoo, saying she hardly felt the pain of the needle when she had it done. How did she dodge the pain? She concentrated on the three loved ones who inspired the body art.

The Hannah Montana babe had the words ‘Just Breathe’ inked below her left breast, in her mother’s handwriting late in 2009, which sparked controversy as a lot of states in America forbid tattoos for under 18-year-olds.

But the 17-year-old star insists she didn’t get the tattoo on a whim, as it’s a tribute to a close friend who died of cystic fibrosis in 2007, and her grandfathers who both died of lung cancer.

Speaking to Harpers Bazaar, she said: ”It really doesn’t hurt if you’re thinking about the meaning. I could never get a meaningless tattoo, but I think that if you’re doing something that’s important, that’s significant in your life, it takes some of the pain away. It reminds me not to take things for granted. I mean breathing – that was something none of them could do, the most basic thing. And I put it near my heart, because that is where they will always be.”
