From the quote on her neck to the letter on her finger, each of Ariana Grande’s tattoos has a meaning. It’s no secret that the 25-year-old singer has been through a lot since her rise to fame a decade ago. She’s been engaged, lost a boyfriend to an accidental overdose and been the target of a bombing at one of her concerts. Grande is the definition of strength and resilience, and many of her tattoos are an example of that.
Though the “Thank U, Next” singer has had her fair share of tattoo typos (like the Japanese characters on her palm that mean “BBQ finger” instead of “7 Rings”, like she wanted them to), the majority of her collection is still inspo-worthy. According to Insider, Grande has 37 tattoos—and counting, so, of course, she will have some regrets. (The tattoos she’s changed or covered after her breakup with Pete Davison are countless.) Still ,the “Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored” singer’s tattoo collection is one to be in awe at. From teeny-tiny marks on her fingers and ankles to deep quotes with significant meanings, the “No Tears Left to Cry” singer’s tattoo collection can only be described as eclectic and quintessentially Ariana. Check out what her tattoos mean ahead.
Heart on Her Toe
Grande’s heart on her toe is the first tattoo she ever received in 2012. She inked it while recording a duet with 8Sky for her album, Yours Truly. The song never made it to the album, but fans believe the track, “Tattooed Heart”, represents the tattoo. Grande documented the tattoo process in a YouTube video, with the caption: “This year has been 1 of the happiest and most enlightening years for me and I felt like I wanted to do something special to remind me of this time…Writing my 1st album, working with my castmates & best friends on victorious, being young, having fun and being surrounded by love.. so..I wanted to do something permanent to remind me to always be grateful and not take anything for granted so.. I got a little tattoo.”
“Mille Tendresse” on Her Neck
Grande’s next tattoo came in 2014 when she inked “Mille Tendresse”, French for “one thousand tendernesses”, on the back of her neck. The phrase came from the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring Audrey Hepburn, which Grande has said is one of her favorite films of all time.
