Jelly Roll's body is covered with dozens of tattoos the singer got when he was much younger, but as a 39-year-old, he now regrets getting most of them.
The hitmaker, whose wife Bunnie XO, 44, revealed they are trying IVF to have another child, opened up about his body art during a recent appearance on The Howard Stern Show.
When asked about if he regrets any of his body art, the award winning singer revealed, 'I have a tattoo on my arm that I gave somebody a quarter sack of bad weed for, and it looks like a quarter sack of bad weed tattoo.'
As a whole, the Halfway to Hell artist, whose real name is Jason DeFord, said the tats 'look decent because they're all grouped together, so you're like, "They don't look horrible, Jelly."'
'But until you dissect them and zoom in you're like, "These suck bad. It's just bad art. There's no other way to say it."'

Revealing one frightening detail the Dancing with the Devil artist explained, 'I've gotten staph infections from bad tattoos. I've learned nothing,' he said.
'You talk about bull-headed. And I still went back to the same guy that gave me the staph infection.'
The Tennessee native explained he got his first tattoo at age 14 and he obtained many of the now-regrettable images when he was behind bars.
It took years for the Bottle and Mary Jane artist to kick a drug habit, and as a result he was incarcerated some 40 times on drug charges.
One of the tattoos he is most upset about is of a baby smoking a blunt. 'It was a little excessive,' the Wild Ones artist now admits.
'I regret 98% of these tattoos, 97, almost all of them,' he told GQ in March.
'Like core philosophies are rooted in my life when I was 17 and now I'm 40, I'm like, "What the f**k was I thinking?"'
'I hate them all,' he stated.

The CMT Music Award winner, who has embarked on a healthier lifestyle, dropping 70 pounds over a five month period, has said he is training to participate in a 5K run by Thanksgiving.
'I've been really kicking a**, man,' Jelly Roll told People in April.
'I'm doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week. I'm doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in a cold plunge every day. I'm eating healthy right now.'
The Save Me singer, who said he has struggled with his weight since childhood, once topped the scales at 500 pounds.
'In 2015 I weighed over 500 [pounds] not sure how much, the [doctor's] scale only weighed to 500 [pounds] they suggested I go to a meat processor or truck stop to get my actual weight,' he said.
'It was the one of the most embarrassing days of my life , and the bottom line I had done it to myself.'

Jelly Roll has a lot of incentive to live a healthier lifestyle. In addition to trying to add to their family, he and Bunnie XO are parents to son Noah, seven.
The doting dad also has a daughter Bailee, 15, from a former relationship.
Jelly Roll just released his latest song, the heartfelt I Am Not Okay on June 12. The single reached number one on the iTunes chart, replacing Eminem's Houdini.
He will co-host the CMA Fest with Ashley McBride on ABC June 25.
