So on Tuesday, Jackson addressed the controversy surrounding her tattoos by taking to Instagram to share a photo of herself (with the tattoos on her arms clearly visible) accompanied by a lengthy and thought-provoking message.
“The craftsmanship of tattoos will always be a controversy,” Jackson began. “Some people like them, some people absolutely hate them. I appreciate art, i always have especially when that art means something to me.”

Jackson then went on to reveal what her tattoos meant to her and how they have helped her to erase her dark past.
She wrote, “My scars and past of self-hatred have been covered by loving marks, creativity, ingenuity… and depth. Sure i will always carry my past with me, but i see ink as a way of changing for the better, always improving. They represent strength for me. I look back at my old self and then i look in the mirror, and i see a fighter looking back at me.”
Jackson went through a very difficult time following the death of her father, but she’s determined to stay strong, a message that she wants others to hear, as she concluded her message by addressing those who are struggling.
“So to anyone struggling, it gets better. You’re not alone,” she wrote.
Jackson’s message is beautiful, and has clearly served as an inspiration to many fans, some of whom voiced their thoughts in the comment section of the post.
