It's been the burning question all the nation has been asking, apparently: Just what is tattooed on Megan Joy Corkrey's right arm?

The "American Idol" finalist - and 23-year-old single mom from Sandy, Utah - explained it in a Q-and-A session (which MTV.com dutifully transcribed here) after securing her spot in the top 13:

"It's a castle, and there's a night sky above it. And the glass is stained glass, and it's my fairy tale. And there's a king and a queen, and that's me and — who knows? And then there's a fairy godmother, my mom; a wizard, my brother; and a prince, my son. Then there's roses growing up the castle."

Corkrey has seven tattoos in all: Her son's name on her wrist, two stars on her back (representing herself and her mother), her middle name on her hip, and "a jumble of things I love" on both feet.
