Aaron Carter shows off giant butterfly face tattoo in honour of late sister

Troubled singer Aaron Carter revealed a giant butterfly face tattoo in honour of his late sister, who he previously accused of rape.

Aaron Carter is adding to his extensive tattoo collection.

On Saturday, the singer took to Instagram showing off a tattoo artist etching three new face inkings.

One of the tattoos is a massive blue butterfly on his forehead, in honour of his sister Leslie, who died of a drug overdose in 2012, at the age of 25.

“Every time I see a blue butterfly … she loved blue, it was her favourite colour,” the I Want Candy singer said. “She had the most beautiful icy blue eyes in the world.”

Carter reminisced about his sibling noting that she was better at singing than either him or their brother Nick Carter, 42, best known as a member of The Backstreet Boys.

“She could kick me and Nick’s a** as a singer like so bad,” he said. “She could sing as good as Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera. She just didn’t get through and had some struggles, you know.”

“So God bless my sister. She was an amazing person,” he later added of Leslie who was a mother-of-one at the time of her death.

Previously the singer, 34, accused his sister of raping him.

In 2019 he tweeted, “My sister raped me from the age of 10 to 13 years old when she wasn’t on her medications.”

The new ink may come as a distraction for the performer who is accused of domestic violence by his on-again-off-again fiancée Melanie Martin.

Earlier this month, Martin claimed that Carter broke three of her ribs during a recent domestic altercation. The couple who share a four-month-old son named Prince has long had a tempestuous relationship.
