Charley Hull says her first tattoo came after a night of partying in Ibiza at age 17. She wanted “Hold tight”—a phrase she shared with her friend James—tattooed across her forehead, but he talked her into getting it on her foot instead. Hull says she woke up hungover and didn’t remember getting the tattoo until James explained what had happened.

By the Numbers
  • Hull has 3 tattoos.
  • She was 17 when she got her first tattoo.
  • She is a 3-time LPGA winner.
Yes, But

Not all of Hull’s tattoos are fond reminders: she says she has tried to remove the one bearing her ex-husband’s name. Her matching lightning-bolt tattoo with fellow English golfer Georgia Hall is a keeper—for now.

Bottom Line

Hull’s story is equal parts near-miss and lasting souvenir: her friend stopped a forehead tattoo, but the night still left her with an unexpected piece of ink—and a memorable golf-life anecdote.
