Adam Levinejust added to his tattoo collection — and debuted a major hair change!
On Monday, the Maroon 5 lead singer, 42, took to Instagram to show off a tattoo of a butterfly landing on a spiderweb right in the center of his neck. The fresh ink sits right above his “Family” tattoo.
“Had to,” Levine wrote in his Instagram Story along with images of his new ink.
On his main feed, he captioned a photo of the tattoo, “Wise man once said… ‘when Instagram goes down…tattoo your throat…’ his name was@nathan_kostechko.”
