Celine Dion recently sat down for a candid game of ‘This or That’ with The Scene, where she was asked to weigh in on number of topics, from fashion and Justin Bieber, to her favourite city.
When asked about her preference between tattoos or piercings, the 48-year-old confessed that she herself is considering a permanent ink tribute to her late husband.
“Since my husband passed away, they can make the tattoo as his heartbeat,” she said, tracing the pattern of Rene Angelil’s wavelength with her own finger.
“So, I might have his heartbeat on my body for the rest of my life.”

Up until the death of the icon’s loving husband, who lost his battle with throat cancer in January, the singer hadn’t planned to ink her body due to reservations about aging skin.
“In tattoos, I’ve seen so many people that, they have tattoos when they’re young and they get older and the name changes,” she explaiined.
“You know, it used to be ‘Louise’ and now it’s like, ‘Louis.’ You are goin’ down! It’s gravity, baby. It’s goin’ down!”
But six months on from saying goodbye, she feels that now is as good a time as any to ensure that his heart will truly go on forever.
The couple married in 1994, when Celine was 26-years-old.
Over the last couple of months, and after some much-needed family time with her three children, the singer has stepped out in good spirits as she promotes her upcoming album.
With a new stylist and the brightest smile we’ve seen in a long time, the mother-of-three is determined to move forward with her life, taking comfort in the fact that she found the man who “always made me feel that we were on our first date.”
Celine has found her smile once more.
Speaking recently of her daily battle to US talk show host Kathie Lee Gifford, who too lost her husband Frank Gifford less than a year ago, she said: “I lost the man of my life.”
“But I cannot live thinking this way. I have to say, ‘I found the best man in the world,'” she concluded just as Kathie began to tear up.
Turning to the Today show host, she added, “Like you did for yourself. We were both extremely lucky.”
