JD has quite a few tattoos to the point he’s not even sure how many he has in total. On the radio show, Off Topic With The Scott Brothers that aired on the radio November 24, 2013, JD said that he loves the art of tattoos and wasn’t sure how much ink he had done, but guessed around 10 or 11 if he had to say.
On the episode, they had a tattoo removal specialist to talk about “thinking before you ink,” and although JD is a big fan of the art, he did reveal that the first tattoo – a compass he got at the age of 17 in Mexico-and said that while likes the design, he would consider removing it because it doesn’t fit with his other tattoos. Ever since his first, he has added several larger pieces, like a family coat of arms, bands on his arms and more.
He Keeps it Local
“What an honor to be recognized by MyVegas Magazine in their ‘Top 100 Men of Success’ issue. I am extremely proud to call”... posted by JD Scott on Tuesday, September 23, 2014. One reason you may not hear much about JD is that he focuses much of his undivided attention at the local level. In fact, he’s done a lot for Las Vegas, so much that MyVegas Magazine named him one of their Top 100 Men of Success for making a big difference in the community there.
To show his dedication to this end, he contributed in the Kili Climb 4 Kids charity event, where he among other participants went on an 8-day climb of Mount Kilimanjaro to promote awareness for child slavery around the planet. He went to areas of Tanzania to participate in programs that empower young women and girls so they can resist exploitation. JD is passionate about helping children and maybe that’s why he stays out of the public so much. He is a passionate altruist in his community and around the world.
His Girlfriend
JD is in a committed relationship with model and professional makeup artist Annalee Belle. Despite JD staying out of much of the limelight, the two have a very strong presence on social media, though not much of it has resulted in much publicity outside of the social media universe. They make YouTube videos together, including their infamous 2015 “Onesie party,” and are very involved with Facebook and Insta.
It’s not difficult to locate bloopers from a New Orleans photo shoot, footage from the Producer’s Ball and many Instagram and FB posts, not to mention JD’s ancient Vine posts). Also, they’ve made speaking engagements at Montserrat Secondary School about making your dream a reality and have a joint Facebook page called Pinky and Proppy.
His Own HGTV Web Series
Jonathan and Drew aren’t the only Scott brother’s you will see on HGTV these days. Every once in a blue moon, JD makes an appearance with this brothers, but not many people know he did an online series with other celebrities called Can I Come In: Las Vegas where he led the audience through some of the most interesting homes in his home city.
In one, he checks out Lonnie Hammargren’s house, theme park and museum called Catillo del Sol. Another episode has him introducing us to a small community of homes. Although JD is fun and entertaining in these videos, they weren’t heavily promoted.
He Has a Secret
On a Facebook video, JD confessed to a deep, dark and shameful secret. His fans waited in anxiety-filled anticipation as the stat welcomed people to the Facebook Live video and had some personal words for all his adoring fans. The climax to all of this was the stunning admission that JD is a big Crash Test Dummies fan. He even played their one hit wonder song, ”Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm,” and sang along for quite a bit.
Surely, this came as a gigantic shock to everyone who has followed his career from blackjack pit to blackjack pit, but luckily for him, he didn’t seem to lose a single fan that day. As for the Crash Test Dummies... perhaps it is the Canadian connection. No matter how you slice it, keeping things from your adoring fans is never easy or a good idea. This could be why he is constantly sidelined-poor choice in music, but I don’t think he’ll mind.
