Celebrity tattoos and their meanings
    2020-02-14  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

THERE are many things to consider when you’ve decided to get some body art, including what sort of style and design would be good for you and where on your body you would want to have it.

Some of the main subjects of tattoos are family, religion and animals/pets. Here we’d like to give you a glimpse of the tattoos of celebrities.

Miley Cyrus

Miley’s latest tattoo is a sweet tribute to her dog, Mary Jane. The singer has a lot of tattoos, and they’re often tributes to friends, family members and pets.

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber got a new tattoo on his leg that says “Better At 70.” He explained the ink’s meaning in an Instagram caption. “I look back at a lot of things in my life, mistakes, insecurities, and although I have felt I’ve wasted a lot of time it also makes me want to be better faster! For me personally I want to work everyday to be better at 70,” he wrote.

Ariana Grande

According to the Sun, Grande and members of her 2017 Dangerous Woman tour were tattooed with bees backstage at the Manchester One Love show. A symbol of the city’s industrial heritage, the insect refers to Manchester’s textile mills in the 1800s, described as “hives of activity.”

Halsey

Singer Halsey broke down the meanings of all of her many ink etchings to iHeart Radio, where she explained that she chose the upside down horseshoe on her right arm despite the fact that it’s supposedly bad luck. “I got an upside down horseshoe to signify that I don’t need luck. I work really, really hard, and I believe in the stars aligning, but I don’t believe that anything happens to anyone based out of sheer luck. I believe people work really hard, and they manifest what they want, and what they need, and what they’re hopeful for, and that’s what this is — a reminder.”

Lily Collins

Lily Collins is all about the ethereal for her tattoo designs (she has a tattoo of a moonlit fairy under her left breast and an elegant back tattoo that reads “Love Always and Forever”), and the one on her foot is no exception. She said, “The one on my foot is a rose with the words, ‘The nature of this flower is to bloom.’ There’s a single petal falling off to symbolize that I may look delicate, but I’m as strong as a rose,” she says.

Lady Gaga

The singer has many tattoos and here’s a very special one — an etching of one of her idols David Bowie on her left rib is a tribute to the Thin White Duke in his Ziggy Stardust days.

Megan Fox

The “Transformers” star has been inked and de-inked a couple of times before (she got rid of her Marilyn Monroe tattoo to avoid “attracting negative energy”) but the most prominent is the script on her back that adapts a line from Shakespeare’s King Lear. It reads, “We will all laugh at gilded butterflies.” She was quoted as saying that it’s a reminder “to not get too caught up in Hollywood because people will end up laughing at you.”

Selena Gomez

The songstress got one of her newest tattoos in Arabic, which roughly translates to “love yourself first.” It’s all in keeping with her frequent championing of female empowerment and self-love.

Emma Stone

Emma Stone shares a special bond with her mom — and Paul McCartney. To celebrate her mother being cancer-free, Emma and her mother marked the occasion with tattoos that pay tribute to their favorite song — Beatles’ “Blackbird,” which were designed by Paul McCartney himself. The actress wrote a letter to the singer and “Blackbird” lyricist asking for a drawing of birds’ feet to tattoo, and he responded by sending over the drawings.

Vanessa Hudgens

The actress got her first tattoo when she was 22 — a butterfly on the back of her neck. “It was very last minute, but I’ve actually wanted it for years,” she said. “A butterfly landed on my mum’s stomach a week before I was born and that’s how I got my name, because Vanessa means butterfly — it’s a Latin derivative.”

Rihanna

The queen of tattoos had “1988,” the year she was born, inked on her right ankle. She also has an Egyptian falcon inked on her feet, “Thug Life” tattooed on her knuckles, the goddess Isis on her chest as a tribute to her grandmother, among others.
