MTV News caught up with Sky Ferreira recently, asking the 18-year-old about her tattoos.

“I got a teardrop because this was right before Lil Wayne was going to jail,” Sky said about one of her finger tats. “Even though that also means I killed somebody, but I didn’t kill anybody. Sorry.”

Pointing at the next tattoo, she said, “The star on the back of my head I got when I was fourteen, near my house, like just randomly again. Not much thought into that.”

As for a royal inking on the other side, she said, “I used to draw this crown on everything and it used to be my logo and I used to get people to spraypaint it everywhere, so this crown is on the back of my head also.”

Regarding the larger tattoo she has on her arm, Sky said, “I went to this guy Josh, and he did this huge tattoo on me. I was about to back out of it. I was like oh, I can’t do it. Then he gave me this whole story about how he had to do someone before and they couldn’t make up their mind for two days and how annoying it was, and I was like fine, I’ll do it. He’s like okay, you can back out, but just let me do one little line. It was not one little line, and I thought I was going to die at first. The first ten minutes was so painful, and then it felt like nothing. Then I got it done in an hour. I didn’t even stop. I was like just do it, because if I keep stopping, it’s gonna hurt more. It’s kinda corny to say this, but this (tattoo) was right when I got to New York and a few months before my 18th birthday, I was living on my own now. I guess when I look back on it that’s what I think of, when I finally became an actual adult.”

Out’s Face to Face with Sky Ferriera features the pop singer talking about her debut album, the video for ‘One’, her infatuation with David Lynch, cutting school to learn new things, and her tattoos. “I have a lot of ups and downs, and it quite shows lyrically,” Sky confesses. “My mind moves and my emotions are pretty extreme.”

Audio for Sky Ferreira’s debut UK single ‘One’ has been posted on Parlophone’s YouTube channel ahead of its Summer 2010 release. Look out for the full video shot by world-renowned photographer Rankin coming soon.

Buzznet caught up with Sky Ferreira in a video chat from the teen’s bed, where she talked about listening to music when she wants to be inspired, how her mother was her first role model, how Quentin Tarantino or Lita Ford would be celebrities she could be friends with, the late Michael Jackson being the most inspiring person she’s ever met, wanting to be on the cover of Rolling Stone, and more.

“Obviously listening to music, all different types of music,” Sky said about getting inspired, “and I watch a lot of short films and films directed by David Lynch, because I just love how he uses really dark lighting and the sounds he uses are insane, so that’s inspiring.”

“My first role model is probably my mother, because that’s the first person I was around,” she said.

Asked about something that makes her laugh, Sky said, “I’ve got a date, then you ask with who, then you say a fig.”

On a boyfriend deal breaker, she said, “That’s pretty difficult, with friends or boyfriends, which kind of ruins it. Obviously if they’re fake or liars or conniving, I don’t have the time to deal with it, or the energy. Obviously honesty is the best policy.”

As for online shopping destinations, she said, “I don’t really shop online because my mom gets pissed at me. The only thing I use is the iTunes store, because I don’t like to illegally download music. Also, I don’t know how.”
