Carly Smithson has been voted off of this year's American Idol but that doesn't mean that the world has forgotten her quite yet. She's still making the headlines of gossip sites as people try to predict where it is that she's going to end up. One of the things that regularly gets talked about on these sites is Carly's numerous tattoos.

There is one tattoo in particular that's gotten a lot of attention. It's a tattoo of a woman on Carly's arm which many - including American Idol guest star mentor Andrew Lloyd Webber - have assumed was a tattoo of Amy Winehouse. Carly insists that it's not Winehouse on her arm at all, that it's a geisha that never got colored in which she's had as a tattoo since before she'd ever heard of Winehouse.

Although she's out there setting the record straight, the confusion could have the potential to impact Smithson's career. If she wants to make it as a singer, she probably doesn't want to be associated with being a Winehouse groupie. As a result, she might want to consider laser tattoo removal (or at least coloring in that tat) at some point in the near future.

Question of the Day: Does Carly's tattoo really look like a drawing of Amy Winehouse?
