The name 'Pink' had been following her around since she was a kid from different places and meanings. When the movie Reservoir Dogs was released she says she was like the character 'Mr Pink' (she has a Mr Pink tattoo on her inner thigh).

I think the story goes that she wanted her stage name to be Mr Pink but couldn't because of copyright reasons, so she changed it to Mr P!nk which eventually became P!nk
