International singing sensation Charice showed off her short blonde hair and the new tattoo on her left forearm at the press conference for her Infinity concert in Manila on March 8, ABS-CBNNews.com reports.

"The tattoo that I have has a meaning," she is quoted as saying. "The tattoo says 'love eternally,' and it has an infinity sign. It's for my love for people, for my fans, and for my family, for everybody. So every time I do something, I always have reason."

Charice got her tattoo in Singapore. The singer held a concert there on March 5. She added that her mom knew about her decision to get a tattoo and was okay with it.

When the press asked Charice how she felt about rumors about her sexual preference due to her new look, Charice said she'd already seen negative comments and didn't care. "Whatever they think, maybe if I look [like] somebody or whoever, I don't mind. I mean, this is the look that I want, so the only thing you can do is to move on."

"For me, just love me," she added. "I'm a person, and if you think I'm a boy or a girl or if I look like a boy, then fine."

Charice will be holding her concert tonight, March 9, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Rapper Iyaz, who is featured in her song "Pyramid," will be joining her onstage.
