What Would the Tattoo Have Looked Like?

As the New York Post reports, the moment took place when the 30-year-old Hull was partying with a friend in Ibiza when she was only 17. 

The eighth-ranked female golfer in the world went through with the tattoo. However, Hull's friend convinced her to change its location. 

"I've got three tattoos. I've got one on my foot," she explained. "I got drunk when I was in Ibiza when I was 17 years old. Me and my friend James went out partying. I was coming back from the club, and I thought it would be a great idea to get a tattoo across my head, because me and my best mate, James, our favorite thing we always said to each other was 'Hold tight, hold tight.' 

"He wouldn't let me get it on my forehead. Instead, I got it on my foot, and it says, 'Hold tight.' He got a matching one on his arm."

Charley Hull Doesn't Remember Getting Inked

When Hull woke up the next morning, she didn't remember getting the tattoo. 

She said, "We went back to the hotel, woke in the morning hungover, and I went to James, 'Bloody hell, was I that drunk last night? I walked back with a plastic bag on my foot.'

"He said, 'No, Charlie. That's the wrapping after you've had your tattoo.' I was like, 'What? I got a tattoo?' He said, 'Yeah, you were trying to get it on your forehead, and we had to stop you there.'

Hull also talked about her two other tattoos. 

"I've got one of my ex-husband's name [John "Ozzie" Smith, an English MMA fighter] on my wrist, which I've tried to get removed," she shared. "And then me and Georgia [Hall, her best friend and fellow pro golfer] have matching lightning bolts. Mine is on my right pinky. We always do pinky promises with each other like that. And she's got the same one."

Hull was asked about the meaning behind the lightning bolts. 

She answered, "I would say that [Hall and I] are electric together, you know what I mean? We got each other's back."
