To say Ariana Grande is a successful pop star would be an understatement. The petite Italian-American diva is the only one in the music industry to have lead singles from each of her records debut in the top ten in America. She's also the first solo artist to have held the top three spots on the Billboards.
Ariana has thrilled us all with many glimpses of her private life. She has shared these special moments through her social media platforms. She has 150 million followers on Instagram and almost 71 million followers on Twitter. Thanks to her regular activity online, we can now estimate that she has roughly 46 tattoos. In this article, we will reveal 20 of them.
20 Her Pokémon Tattoo
Ariana is a big fan of all things pretty and cute, especially animals. She is an avid anime enthusiast and a huge fan of Japanese culture. It comes as no surprise that the Grammy-winning artist has tattooed Eevee, a Pokémon known for its 'running away ability' and 'fighting weakness'. on her arm.
19 Her Bee (And Moon) Neck Tattoos
The talented singer has gone through a series of traumatic events, one of them being the Manchester Arena Bombings. To show her support to the victims of the tragic and sickening events which occurred during her 2017 concert, Ariana got a bee tattooed behind her ear. This insect is a symbol of the city of Manchester.
18 Ariana's Bellissima
Bellissima means beautiful in Italian. It is also a sweet tribute that Ariana paid to her Italian roots, and to her grandfather in particular - he used to call her 'Bellissima'. The small and discreet tattoo is written in cursive and is placed on her side. This meaningful tattoo is so pretty.
17 Her Ribcage Tattoo
After a very public relationship (and a very public breakup) with comedian and SNL star, Pete Davidson, Ariana has altered quite a few of the tattoos she 'shared' with her ex. The singer has recently covered her "Always" ink, which matched Pete's, with a branch of leaves.
16 Ariana French Cute Piece
This gorgeous design on the back of her beck reads, "Mille Tendresse", and translates from French to "a thousand tendernesses". This is one of Ariana's first tattoos and is inspired by one of her favorite Audrey Hepburn movies, Breakfast at Tiffany's. The pop-singer has always been a big fan of the late actress.
15 Her Butterfly Arm Art
Ariana seems to have an addiction to tattoos, as she keeps on showing up with new additions to her body art collection. During the 2020 Grammys, many people noticed what appeared to be a butterfly on her left arm. The pop star has yet to reveal what this charming insect means.
14 Ariana's Night Sky Hand Tattoo
This is one of Ariana's most visible tattoos. Her gorgeous handpiece represents a celestial night sky and was tattooed on the back of the star's hand in 2018. It was revealed, through her Instagram, that her grandma got a tattoo the same day Ariana got her crescent moon and stars ink.
13 Her Spirited Away Design
This is another body art piece inspired by Japanese anime. This fun design might be Ariana's biggest tattoo so far. The Thank You Next singer has gotten Chihiro Ogino from the Award-winning anime, Spirited Away, tattooed on her inner forearm. Ariana is not only addicted to tattoos...she can't get enough of Japanese-inspired art.
12 Her Small Japanese Fail
Last January, Ariana made the headlines, but not for all of her achievements. It was because of a misspelled (you guessed it) Japanese tattoo. After her hit song, 7 Rings, was released, the pop star wanted to immortalize her success with a tattoo of her song title, but the hand tattoo wasn't spelled correctly, so it meant, "small charcoal grill". She has since had it corrected.
11 Ariana's Reborn Tattoo
Another tattoo that has been changed or replaced by a leaf branch is Ariana's "Reborn" tattoo. The original tattoo was yet another matching piece she was sharing with her ex, Pete Davidson, so she later had it altered. Her previous matching tattoo is now completely erased.
