Celebrities You Didn’t Know Have Secret Tattoos And The Meanings Behind Them

Even though plenty of celebrities spend the majority of their time in the limelight, not everyone knows all the intimate details of their lives. One of the things that often passes us by are the secret tattoos and the meanings behind them.

That’s right; some stars have kept their ink pretty well hidden from the rest of the world, but that’s not necessarily because they’re embarrassed by their artwork. It seems some celebrities can be rather sentimental when it comes to their tattoos; they just don’t always want to talk about them.

It’s apparently a coincidence that Joe Jonas’ secret tattoo resembles his wife

Staring at Joe Jonas is something plenty have done throughout the years. However, you might find someone looking back at you if you stare at the musician’s neck. Why? That’s all thanks to Joe’s secret tattoo. This Jonas Brother took inspiration from Italian artist Fornasetti to create the keyhole shape that makes up the majority of his tattoo.

Fans immediately put two and two together and came up with the answer that the eye must be none other than Joe’s wife, Sophie Turner. However, the musician says that any resemblance is a mere coincidence. Is that really the case? Apparently so, but it seems like a pretty happy accident if that’s the case.

Olivia Rodrigo and her friends got matching tattoos to cement their friendship

Gen Z has brought plenty to this world, including several ways to show your BFFs that you’re just that: friends forever. Olivia Rodrigo has been paving the way for trends for the last few years since she hit the big time, and it appears the singer takes the responsibility of sharing the love with her friends pretty seriously.

Rather than stick to the typical friendship rings or bracelets, Olivia and her friends got matching tattoos instead. Avani Gregg, Charli D’Amelio, and Iris Apatow are the other three fingers in the photo, with the group opting for one of two symbols. Apparently, the symbols match up to the two sets of best friends there are within the group.

Travis Barker has dedicated several of his tattoos to his new wife, Kourtney Kardashian

You don’t have to look close to realize that Travis Barker is covered in tattoos. In fact, he has so many that he’s even started going over some of his former ink to make room for new artwork. Why? It appears Travis wears his heart on his skin, as many of his tattoos are dedicated to his wife, Kourtney Kardashian.

The likes of “i love you” written in Kourtney’s handwriting and a lipstick print are just some of the additions the musicians crafted in the last few months. While they’re pretty subtle, the scorpion Travis had added stands out more than most. It seems there’s a reason it’s so big - it’s to cover the name of Travis’ ex-wife.

Zac Efron was widely mocked when people realized he had a secret tattoo of YOLO

2011 was a strange time to be alive. One of the many things that took the world by storm was YOLO, a term that Drake took and ran with to levels of popularity no one ever imagined. Perhaps that’s what inspired Zac Efron to have the phrase tattooed on his hand? We guess you only live once, after all.

Even though tattoos are personal additions that everyone can craft to make their own, people weren’t widely impressed when Zac showcased his ink. In fact, many mocked the actor for going as far as having YOLO tattooed in such a prominent place. Thankfully, it doesn’t seem to have affected Zac or his career in the last few years.

Miley Cyrus added to her tattoo collection with a portrait to honor her dog

It’s no secret that Miley Cyrus has a fair share of tattoos across her body. However, not everyone knows the meaning behind all of them, especially one of her latest additions. Throughout the years, we’ve seen Miley showcase tatts such as a random tooth, a smiley face, and even a tribute to her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth.

So what about the dog portrait? It turns out it was to honor one of the musician’s dogs who sadly passed away. It’s no secret that Miley is a massive animal lover, especially as she named one of her albums to honor those she’s lost. Perhaps it’s no wonder Miley ended up celebrating her pet in such a personal way?

Angelina Jolie has the coordinates of where her children were born tattooed on her arm

Something plenty of parents love to do is use their ink as a way to remember their children. That’s apparently what Angelina Jolie decided, as she had the coordinates of her children’s birthplaces tattooed on her arm. Of course, there’s plenty of variation in the numbers thanks to the children’s varied backgrounds from across the world.

Three of Angelina’s children were adopted from various countries, while the other three are her biological children. While it’s a great way to honor her family, there’s something a little awkward in it all. Angelina also had Brad Pitt’s coordinates tattooed onto her arm - and they’ve spent the last few years entangled in a pretty messy, public divorce.

Madonna waited until she was 62 years old to get her first - and incredibly meaningful - tattoo

If there’s someone who loves to push the boundaries, it’s Madonna. Each album release marks a new era in her life, but what about the one that saw the singer get her first tattoo? That came when Madonna turned 62. It came as little surprise to many, as she’s always been known for her edgier style and pushing the boundaries.

In fact, it was taking so long to get the six letters tattooed on her wrist that actually surprised plenty. The meanings behind them? It turns out they’re all the initials of Madonna’s children, making it one of the more meaningful pieces of ink. Sure, Madonna and her children haven’t always had it easy, but this memorializes their relationship perfectly.

Chris Brown was accused of mocking his assault on Rihanna with a new tattoo

While some celebrities grab the headlines when they showcase a new piece of ink, Chris Brown isn’t one of them. After all, the singer has sported plenty of ink throughout his career. However, one piece in particular got people talking - and it’s in a place that’s pretty hard to cover if he wants to avoid attention.

Chris was accused of getting a woman who appears to have a half bruised and beaten face. Many believed this was reference to the assault against Rihanna in 2009, an incident that resulted in five years of probation. However, Chris states it’s supposed to be a reference to Día de Los Muertos and has nothing to do with the incident.

The animals came one by one in Nikkie Tutorials’ tattoo

Nikkie de Jager, better known as Nikkie Tutorials online, has opened up a lot about her personal life in recent years. From opening up about being a part of the LGBTQ community to sharing personal stories about her life, Nikkie is no stranger to being open with her fans. Still, she’s one of the many celebrities with secret tattoos.

Although she has at least 14 pieces of art across her body, it’s the animals on Nikkie’s left arm that’s got people talking so much. The makeup artist has been working on the piece for some time, adding the wolf first, followed by the owl, panda, and penguin. It’s certainly one way to show off your love of animals.

Various sentimental things come together for Shawn Mendes’ guitar tattoo

There are tattoos with meaning, and then there’s the ink Shawn Mendes has on his arm. Believe it or not, but the musician has more ink than many realize, such as an elephant stencil on his finger and an ‘A’ behind his ear for his sister. However, none of them have as much meaning as Shawn’s guitar.

To start, the guitar is in the shape of the Toronto skyline to honor Shawn’s various links to the city. The top of the guitar? That’s all to honor his parents, as it’s actually a soundwave of the pair saying, “I love you.” As far as sentimental tattoos go, we think this might be one of the best.

Kaia Gerber and Cara Delevingne have honored their best friendship with secret matching tattoos

What happens when your best friend is the closest person to you in this world? If you’re anything like some stars, you get a permanent reminder inked on your body. That’s right; Kaia Gerber and Cara Delevingne quickly joined the list of celebrities with secret tattoos, thanks to the place they decided to honor one another on their bodies.

Rather than stick to something done time and time again, the models opted for something a little more fun instead. They now both have the word “soulmate” tattooed along the bottom of their foot, the perfect punny addition to anyone’s life. The best bit? It’s easy to keep hidden from the rest of the world as their little secret.

Cara Delevingne summed up her modeling work in one hidden foot tattoo

It seems there’s something about Cara Delevingne and getting tattoos on the bottom of her feet. Perhaps that’s why she’s added to the collection with a “Made in England” tattoo? Being a model means Cara has to think carefully about where she’ll add to her ink collection, so it might come as little surprise that hidden places are popular.

However, it’s not only keeping her tattoo out of sight that helped Cara decide on this tattoo’s location. The words are a nod to the fact the model started her career in the UK. The placement? To signify how Cara always feels like a mannequin. It’s certainly a step away from “Bacon” tattooed on Cara’s other foot.

Selena Gomez and Cara Delevingne opted for matching rose tattoos

Getting matching tattoos with someone is usually a pretty exciting thing to do. While many opt for something small and discreet, Selena Gomez and Cara Delevingne decided the bigger, the better with their roses. Selena opted for somewhere pretty noticeable, too, by going for the back of her neck. Cara, on the other hand, chose her ribcage.

Selena later explained that the tattoo came about thanks to Cara constantly calling her “Rosebud.” Of course, it wouldn’t be a celebrity tattoo without going for the best of the best, which is why the women chose Bang Bang NYC. The parlor has had plenty of celebrity clients, but these were their first watercolor tattoos - which thankfully turned out perfectly.

A colorful addition to Scarlett Johansson’s tattoo collection has got plenty talking

Not being known for showing a lot of skin and playing a character who’s often dressed head to toe in black means plenty forget that Scarlett Johansson even has a secret tattoo. Still, catching sight of it can be enough to get people talking. The problem? The actress has never confessed why she got the ink in the first place.

Scarlett has already showcased several other tattoos, but they’re all complete with black ink. This alone helps to make the colorful sunset - tattooed on her left forearm - stand out even more. People can continue to ask all they like. However, Scarlett says that “Some things have to remain private” and won’t be spilling any details.

Demi Lovato can easily keep their tattoo a secret from the world if they please

What if we told you that Demi Lovato is one of the celebrities with secret tattoos that are actually hiding in plain sight? That’s right; unless you see the star with their head shaved, there’s a good chance you’d never know it’s there. That might not be such a bad thing, considering Demi has a giant spider tattoo.

Plenty of people are scared of the eight-legged beasts, but not Demi. Instead, they wanted to honor their heritage and ancestry. The tattoo represents Spider Grandmother, an important figure in several Native American cultures, and Demi wasn’t afraid to have one forever inked onto their body as a reminder. It’s certainly a talking point whenever Demi heads to the salon.

Moby certainly made a point when he debuted his new neck tattoo

Okay, Moby might not have a secret or cryptic tattoo that’s hard to spot. After all, the musician and producer has “Vegan for life” tattooed in a place that’s hard to ignore. It certainly takes someone special to pull off a neck tattoo - and Moby appears to be more than impressed with his stand-out inking.

It might be little surprise that Moby got the tattoo to show the world that he abides by a vegan lifestyle, meaning he doesn’t consume any animal products. If his activism wasn’t enough to make that clear to most people already, this tattoo really drives the point home. At least Moby will never have to explain himself again, right?

Jennifer Aniston has honored her late dog with several tattoos across her body

Certain places are more painful to tattoo than others. Even though most tattoos come with expected levels of pain, the foot is more often than not one of the most painful places to get a tattoo. So why do so many celebrities opt to ink their feet? For Jennifer Aniston, it was a way to honor her late dog.

That’s right; there’s no secret romance linked to the name “Norman” tattooed on Jen’s foot - and this isn’t the only tattoo she has in his honor. Jennifer lost Norman in 2011 and has “11 11” inked on her body to remember the date. It appears this addition certainly meant a lot to the actress before he passed away.

Kesha has such fun at a Halloween party that she immortalized the night with a sentimental tattoo

We could write a book on Kesha’s tattoos across her body. The musician is no stranger to relaxing in the chair as she adds to her collection. From the eye on the palm of her hand to the cat on one of her toes and the cross on her wrist to the tiger on Kesha’s hand - there’s no stopping her.

However, the largest and arguably one of the more adorable inkings in Kesha’s collection is none other than the narwhal on her forearm. To top it off, the sentiment behind it came after a Halloween party. Apparently, Kesha spent the night wearing a narwhal onesie and had such a good time that she wanted to remember the night forever.

Jackson Rathbone might just be the biggest ketchup-lover on the planet

It can be tough to understand why some people get the tattoos they do. While some instantly fall in love with the ink, others are a little confused as to why someone would want something as a permanent reminder on their body. That was certainly the case when Jackson Rathbone debuted one of the larger celebrity tattoos.

The actor, best known for playing Jasper in the fantasy franchise ‘Twilight,’ says there’s amazingly plenty of sentimental reasoning behind his tattoo. Jackson explained he has always been in love with ketchup - to the point his family would joke about it all the time throughout his childhood - so he had a bottle inked on his leg. Each to their own.

The secret “G” on Justin Bieber’s arm is for a girl born with a brain disorder

Ah, Justin Bieber. The man with more tattoos than most other celebrities, a far cry from his baby-faced days when he first entered the scene. Just because he has a host of ink doesn’t mean that everyone knows the meaning behind every one of his inkings. That’s the case for the “G” Justin has on his arm.

It turns out this might be one of the most sentimental tattoos, as the letter stands for “Grace.” Who’s Grace? The daughter of a couple who is close with Justin’s parents. Sadly, Grace was born with a rare brain disorder called Lissencephaly. However, Justin wasn’t alone with his tattoo, as Selena Gomez and Ashley Benson reportedly got a “G,” too.

Ed Sheeran initially told the world his “Galway Grill” tattoo was a trick

It’s no secret that Ed Sheeran has a host of tattoos across his whole body. However, not everyone knows the meaning behind all of them - especially when it comes to the ones that almost look like a mistake. Believe it or not, but his “Galway Grill” inking isn’t one that got messed up while Ed was in the chair.

Instead, it’s a nod to his song ‘Galway Girl,’ with Ed initially stating he was tricked into getting the tattoo. Ed said actress Saoirse Ronan was the one who fooled him into having it misspelled. That was until the musician later confessed during a radio interview that “Galway Grill” was planned, but his first story seemed more compelling to tell.

Paris Jackson and Macaulay Culkin’s quirky habit resulted in a matching spoon tattoo

There are celebrity best friends, and then there’s Paris Jackson and Macaulay Culkin. The pair have been close for years, especially as Macaulay is Paris’ godfather. It turns out their relationship goes one step further, as the two have plenty of in-jokes between them - such as their love of stealing spoons for each other whenever they can.

Macaulay opened up about the quirky habit while talking to Esquire. Here, the actor admitted that he and Paris take spoons whenever they can, such as dining at cafes or restaurants. They then often apparently gift them to one another and decided it was time to make things permanent. That’s how their matching spoon tattoos were born.

 

Ruby Rose surprised many when she debuted a giant 60-color paint chart on her back

If you never saw Ruby Rose’s back, you might not know she is concealing one of the largest hidden tattoos. Even then, if you saw the ink, you might have no idea what possessed the model and actress to have an entire paint chart tattooed across her back. It’s all thanks to a joke that went too far.

Ruby poked fun at the ink when she uploaded a snap of it to social media. Here, she wrote she was willing to stand against the wall when someone’s watching TV or eating breakfast to help decide what color they want the walls before adding, “Home Depot is trying to save paper.” Still, we’re not sure Ruby’s being entirely serious.

Chanel Iman wanted to honor her time as a model with a sentimental tattoo on her neck

Plenty of us are known for the work we’ve done in our careers. Chanel Iman is no exception, as she’s famous for her time as a model. Apparently, that’s what possessed her to create a small ink collection across her body. One of the more noticeable comes in the form of a hanger tattooed on the back of Chanel’s neck.

Chanel confessed to Harper’s Bazaar that it’s all thanks to how people hang clothes on a hanger, much like they do on a model when they want to show off the look. It turns out this isn’t the only ink Chanel has to nod to her career. The model also has the silhouette of a woman posing on her leg.

Kendall Jenner has no idea why she got the word “meow” tattooed on the inside of her lip

Surprisingly, it seems the Kardashian-Jenner klan have made their way onto the list of celebrities you didn’t know have secret tattoos in the form of Kendall Jenner. In fact, it’s not until the model pulls down her bottom lip that we get to see the ink at all. There’s keeping things hidden, and then there’s going this far.

If you’re wondering what inspired Kendall to get the ink, you might have to wait a pretty long time as even she doesn’t remember. Kendall confessed she had been drinking when she went to the tattoo parlor, and this was the first idea that came to mind. Now, she can forever live with the word “meow” tattooed on her lip.

The barcode on the back of Pink’s neck is filled with plenty of meaningful dates

Barcode tattoos might be more common than many realize. However, that didn’t stop people from wondering why singer Pink decided to have one inked on the back of her neck. Apparently, it’s all a statement about consumerism. That doesn’t mean it’s completely random, as the numbers underneath the barcode have various sentimental meanings to Pink.

The “9879” stands for September 8, 1979 - the day Pink was born. The following “11200-1” are for November 20, 2001 - the date Pink released her second album. The final ‘“13”? While it’s unlucky to some, the singer says this is her lucky number, and she knew she wanted to include it in her sentimental tattoo.

Dua Lipa announced her new album through a tattoo months before it was released

It can often feel as though new singers have to work harder than ever before to break out onto the scene. Thankfully, Dua Lipa was someone who instantly won over the world with her talented vocals. The singer has already enjoyed a host of number-one singles in her home country, the UK, and is working on dominating the world.

A lot of Dua Lipa’s success came from her ‘Future Nostalgia’ album, but fans had no idea they knew about it months before it hit the shelves. That’s right; Dua got this ink and shared it with her fans before the album was announced, with people only putting two and two together once the album was released.

Tyler Baltierra showed his desire to protect his daughter through a Batman tattoo in 2019

Superhero tattoos are something plenty of us have seen time and time again. That doesn’t mean any are less impressive than the last. It might also be little surprise, judging by how popular DC and Marvel comics and movies have become in recent years. In 2019, reality star Tyler Baltierra joined the list of people with Batman tattoos.

The ‘16 and Pregnant’ star showed off his Batman tattoo, featuring the hero hugging a little girl. This is also joined by the name “Vaeda” - the name of his daughter - in the perfect tribute tattoo. Tyler told the world how he always wants to care for his daughter and aims to be her “protector,” much like Batman protects Gotham City.

Emma Stone got Paul McCartney to design her incredibly meaningful tattoo

Learning someone close to you has cancer is likely never going to be easy news to digest. That was the case for actress Emma Stone, who was told about her mom’s diagnosis when she learned the news. Thankfully, things worked out well, as Emma’s mom has since been given the all-clear and has been illness-free ever since the treatment.

Emma quickly marked the occasion by getting a tattoo, but this was no ordinary ink. To start, the feet are to honor Paul McCartney’s song ‘Blackbird.’ As if having her and her mom’s favorite song tattooed on her wrist wasn’t enough, Emma even wrote to Paul himself to ask the musician to design the tattoo. That’s quite the story.

Shia LaBeouf created a tribute to his favorite rappers by having them inked onto his knees

There are celebrities known for their wacky behavior, and then there’s Shia LaBeouf. The actor started as one of the biggest child stars of his time before moving on to create moments such as the “Just do it” video or art collection that saw Shia stare into the eyes of onlookers with a paper bag over his head.

Perhaps that’s why it was no great surprise that Shia decided to honor some of his favorite rappers of all time by having them tattooed on his knees? Missy Elliot, Tupac, and Dr. Dre all make an appearance. However, Missy Elliot appears to have made the most impact, as she allegedly appears not once but twice on Shia’s body.

Aaron Carter worried many fans about his mental health when he showed off his new face tattoo

Although he rose to fame when he was just a child, Aaron Carter has come a long way - and not always found himself in the headlines for the right reasons. The rapper has since been in the tattoo chair a host of times and is covered in various ink, including one he decided to showcase on his face.

The Medusa tattoo is far from hidden, but it was almost even more obvious. According to Aaron, he wanted it in the middle of his face until the artist convinced him to move it to his cheek instead. The reason behind the tattoo is apparently because Aaron wants Medusa there to turn any haters who come his way to stone.

Dax Shepard wanted something different to tell the world he’s married to Kristen Bell

Men wearing wedding bands have become more and more common in recent years. Still, not everyone wants to wear a ring, so plenty of men look for alternatives to wedding rings instead. Rather than opt for something more traditional, Dax Shepard went completely outside the box with his wedding tattoo in the form of a bell on his finger.

Dax is currently married to Kristen Bell and has been since 2013. His wife’s surname was all Dax needed as inspiration for the tattoo, but why didn’t he want a ring? That’s because the actor allegedly isn’t a fan of jewelry but wanted the world to know he’s dedicated to Kristen. It’s certainly a creative way to say you’re taken.

Gucci Mane wants the world to know he’s the “coldest in the game”

Some celebrities prefer to keep their tattoos a secret. Others? If they’re anything like Gucci Mane, they have their tattoos somewhere no one can ever miss. That’s right; the rapper decided his cheek was the best place for his ice cream ink, with many fans wondering if he was mentally stable when he headed to the tattoo parlor.

Gucci brushed off any worries by stating the ice cream actually has a secret meaning. According to Gucci, during an interview with Billboard, his “trademark” is to be the “coldest in the game.” However, showcasing the tattoo after a stay in an institution has left many thinking Gucci will live to regret the addition to his face.

Drew Barrymore had a tribute tattoo for her family inked during her talk show

Most people have no idea that a celebrity has been in the tattoo parlor until they show off their new addition on social media. Not Drew Barrymore’s fans. Oh no, the star decided she would give the world a glimpse into her life by having a tattoo done on her arm during an episode of her very own talk show.

Here, Drew had “how is where we are” inked on her arm as a tribute to her children. According to the actress, it’s a saying she’s used ever since she became a mom and wants the world to know just how much it means to her family. Apparently, this isn’t the only tattoo Drew has in honor of her family.

Adam Levine spent six months working on his giant mermaid-themed backpiece

We might need to be a little specific when talking about one of Adam Levine’s tattoos. After all, the Maroon 5 frontman is covered in various pieces of art and is always adding to his collection. Still, it wasn’t until Adam appeared shirtless that many got to appreciate just how much work went into the piece on his back.

After all, it’s easily one - if not the biggest tattoo and reportedly took six months for Adam’s tattoo artist to complete from start to finish. The art features a mermaid with a skull in her arms surrounded by other features, such as the sun and a ship’s wheel. The tattoo also covers up some of Adam’s former body art.

Ryan Gosling was accused of messing up the second tattoo he gave himself

There are times in life that some of us have the best intentions, only to realize things don’t always work out as planned. Believe it or not, but this wasn’t the first time Ryan Gosling decided to give himself a tattoo. Unfortunately, his second try didn’t go as well for the actor, as plenty believe it’s something else.

According to Ryan, he wanted to make a monster hand that’s dropping a bleeding heart. The problem? Several fans think it looks like a cactus instead. While it could be enough for some to try and hide their ink, Ryan’s not embarrassed. Instead, he believes ink shouldn’t be meaningful as we all end up hating the art eventually.

A particular fragrance was enough to inspire one of Drake’s tattoos

Drake isn’t necessarily the first person many imagine when they think of a celebrity with tattoos. However, the rapper has been adding to his collection for years and has surprised fans with some of his inkings along the way. This is no exception. Rather than get something understated, Drake opted for a bottle of Drakkar Noir on his shoulder.

It’s a bold move and one that could be questionable if it weren’t for Drake’s love of the fragrance. Apparently, the rapper has always been a fan - which is a good thing now he has this permanent reminder. In fact, Drake even used the Guy Laroche fragrance as his social media handle before he headed to the tattoo parlor.

Dean McDermott and Tori Spelling enjoyed matching tattoos for their 10th anniversary

What happens when you’re totally in love with your wife? If you’re anything like Dean McDermott, you get several tattoos in her honor. Some of the many pieces Dean has in his collection are their vows on his ribs and a realistic tattoo of Tori Spelling in her undergarments along his arm. It turns out the pair also share ink.

Dean and Tori tattooed “Tout mon coeur, Tout ma vie” along their arms to honor their 10th anniversary. The phrase translates to “My whole heart, my whole life,” but things might not be so peachy after all. There are rumors Dean and Tori are going through a trial separation, so it might not be long before the tattoos are covered.

Post Malone uses his face tattoos to feel more confident about his appearance

Okay, it might not be a surprise to many that Post Malone has a tattoo or two. After all, he’s one of the most famous people to sport such prominent face tattoos. However, plenty have found themselves wondering what Post Malone’s tattoos mean and if there are any hidden meanings to the ink. There certainly might be.

According to the rapper, the face tattoos have a somewhat sad meaning. Post Malone told GQ they come from a “place of insecurity” because “I don’t like how I look.” Post Malone added that if there was something “cool” on his face, he could “have a modicum of self-confidence, when it comes to my appearance.”

Lady Gaga has a tribute to two of her passions wrapped into one delicate tattoo

Things have changed a lot for Lady Gaga throughout the years. The singer and actress started out turning heads in all kinds of bizarre ways, such as arriving on the red carpet in an egg and wearing the infamous meat dress to another. Nowadays, Gaga is more known for her acting work and being such a prominent name in Hollywood.

Lady Gaga is also someone who has plenty of tattoos, including one to honor two of her passions. The unicorn features “Born this way” wrapped around its head, which means a lot to Gaga. For one, the star says she loves unicorns. On the other hand, the words are a tribute to her album and its lead single.

Orlando Bloom had to correct his Morse code tattoo after the first was misspelled

Plenty of parents love to honor their children with some ink. Orlando Bloom is no exception. Unfortunately, things didn’t initially go to plan, as someone messed up the Morse code that’s supposed to spell his son’s name. That’s right; instead of “Flynn,” Orlando’s first tattoo initially said “Frynn” by mistake. Thankfully, it was an easy thing to correct.

To most other people, Orlando’s secret tattoo probably looks like nothing more than a bunch of dots and lines splattered down his arm. That’s one of the things that makes this so great. After all, it’s a conversation starter and a way to make sure no one else has a tribute tattoo quite like this one - now it’s been corrected.

Chrissy Teigen’s daughter designed the butterfly she has tattooed on her arm

If there’s one thing plenty of people know about Chrissy Teigen, it’s that the former model loves nothing more than spending time with her family. Maybe that’s why so few people were surprised when she had a tattoo to honor her daughter? In fact, it’s just one of many that Chrissy has added to her collection.

The model has birthdays and names dotted around her body. Still, it’s the butterfly designed by daughter Luna that got many people talking. Sadly, the tattoo came shortly after Chrissy had been accused of bullying others online, so not everyone was impressed. Still, it’s there to commemorate Luna graduating preschool and was accompanied by Chrissy getting emotional about her children.

Kelly Osbourne braved getting either side of her head secretly tattooed

One way to ensure you make a statement to the world is to get a tattoo somewhere no one can ignore. Getting your head inked is probably high on the list of talking points. Kelly Osbourne is one of the few who have been brave enough to have their heads tattooed, but somewhere that can be easily covered.

On one side, Kelly has “Solidarity” that she got inked shortly after the nightclub attack in Orlando, Florida. Apparently, the star wanted the addition for a while, and this pushed it over the edge. “Stories” on the other side? That’s a nod to Kelly’s clothing line, which shares the same name, so it might be more self-promotional than anything else.

Ariana Grande messed up her palm tattoo not once but twice

Appearing on Nickelodeon meant several youngsters looked up to Ariana Grande. That’s why it can often be a surprise to see these stars grow up and become young adults. That hasn’t stopped Ariana from investing in a host of various inkings throughout the years. Sadly, they’ve not all gone to plan, including one on the palm of her hand.

Ariana’s taken a step back from acting and has been focused on her music career in recent years. It was the release of the song ‘7 Rings’ that inspired Ariana to get a Japanese tattoo of the title on her palm. Unfortunately, it actually said “small charcoal grill.” Even when it was updated, Ariana’s tattoo read as “Japanese BBQ finger.”

Zayn Malik had a Gigi Hadid tattoo inked shortly before they split

Plenty expected the boys from One Direction to be on their best behavior at all times. That’s why Zayn Malik’s behavior often saw him labeled as the rebellious one of the group. Breaking away from the boy band only saw things escalate for Zayn, who proceeded to get a host of tattoos to shake his squeaky clean image.

One of the many was the pair of eyes Zayn had inked on his chest. The singer was dating Gigi Hadid at the time, so he wanted a way to honor her perfectly with the realistic image. Sadly, things didn’t last, and the pair went their separate ways shortly after the addition. It’s certainly a reminder that won’t ever fade.

Social media was the biggest influence behind one of T-Pain’s many tattoos

Not all tattoos have to have the deepest meanings behind them. However, that hasn’t stopped plenty of celebrities from getting secret tattoos to honor various parts of their lives. Not T-Pain. In fact, it appears the rapper might be one of the more carefree when it comes to creating tattoos, especially following the Jackie Chan meme he had inked.

One of his latest pieces is another that’s been influenced by social media - and not necessarily in the best way. Many have questioned why T-Pain would take inspiration from a certain site to create the “You don’t have to like me” tattoo. Hopefully, there aren’t any significant changes to the button, or this tattoo could look pretty out of date.

A children’s story inspired Lena Dunham to get a tattoo of a bull sitting in flowers

Actress and writer Lena Dunham has brought plenty of productions to life throughout her career. The most famous under her belt is the comedy-drama show ‘Girls,’ but it seems Lena also takes plenty of inspiration from other writers. In fact, Lena’s often used outside inspiration for several of her large tattoos hidden across her body.

One of the more prominent pieces is a bull sitting in a field of flowers on the star’s upper arm. It’s actually thanks to a children’s book named ‘The Story in Ferdinand.’ The tale talks about a bull who would rather smell flowers instead of fight and is a lesson Lena allegedly learned a lot from in her childhood.

Camila Cabello didn’t follow aftercare advice and has been left with an altered tattoo as a result

While some people dive straight into working on their tattoo collection, others prefer to wait until they have the perfect idea. It seems Camila Cabello had everything she needed to head into the parlor, but that might sadly now be a painful reminder of the past. That’s because she was accompanied by Shawn Mendes - and they’ve since split.

To make matters worse, Camila’s tattoo hasn’t held up very well. Apparently, this is down to the singer supposedly not following the aftercare instructions and moisturizing her tattoo as she should. That means the first word from Camila’s “it’s a mystery” tattoo has largely disappeared. At least it’s from one of her favorite movies - the romantic ‘Shakespear in Love’ - right?

Steve-O’s back is filled with a giant tattoo of his own face

There’s no denying that Steve-O is one of the people many probably expect to have one of the most out-there celebrity tattoos of all time. Thankfully, he’s lived up to that reputation, something he earned in the comedy movies and TV shows ‘Jackass.’ Here, Steve-O and his friend subjected themselves to all kinds of tasks and adventures.

Rather than paying homage to one of his idols - or even one of his friends after so many years working together - Steve-O decided to take up most of the real estate on his body with an image of himself instead. It’s certainly one way to make a statement, especially as the tattoo looks uncannily like the star himself.

No one is really sure why Halsey had bandaids tattooed over her knee

Bandaids are something plenty of us have used over the years to cover up all those cuts and scrapes we often get along the way. However, not all of us have to use them so much that we have them permanently inked on our skin. No one is sure why Halsey has them on her knee.

All we do know is Halsey used London tattoo artist Emily Malice to bring the piece to life, and they’re complete with the phrase “Poor thing.” Halsey also shared that getting her “entire kneecap” tattooed was a painful experience, seemingly more painful than getting the queen of hearts tattooed next to her ear for her first - and last - face tattoo.

It took more than 60 hours to complete Cardi B’s floral backpiece

Some celebrities prefer subtle tattoos. Others, like Cardi B, choose something that stands out a little more from the crowd. The rapper is covered in various pieces of ink, but none quite like the one across her back. It all starts on Cardi’s shoulder and winds down toward her hip, joined by a peacock on the other side.

Amazingly, while the art might have been worth it in the end, Cardi says the entire tattoo was “hours of pain.” Having such an intricate design - and one so large - means Cardi was in the chair for more than 60 hours. Thankfully, the pain was worth it, as the piece is one of the more stunning additions.

Brooklyn Beckham literally has his - wife's - eyes in the back of his head

Many remember seeing Posh and Becks expand their family back at the beginning of their relationship. Amazingly, their oldest child - Brooklyn Beckham - is now in his 20s and has since walked down the aisle. One of the ways he's followed in his dad's footsteps is adding to his rapidly growing collection of tattoos, including one on his neck.

Those aren't just anyone's eyes, though, as Brooklyn decided to have his wife Nicola Peltz's eyes tattooed on the back of his neck. As if that wasn't enough already, it's accompanied by a lengthy poem written by the actress. The words underneath read, "Read this anytime you feel anxious," which might be a little challenging given its placement.

Not many know that Adele has a secret tattoo tribute to her mom on her wrist

Her voice alone is enough to make Adele stand out from the crowd. Her soulful songs and often clean-cut image have left many thinking she would never get a tattoo. However, that’s all changed in the last few years, as Adele has since got a handful of inkings across her body, including an “A” behind her ear for her son.

Another one in the collection is a coin featuring the words “One Penny” and a love heart. No, this is nothing to do with the millions that Adele has made from her music throughout the years. Instead, it’s a tribute to her mom - Penny - in a creative yet delicate way. What’s there not to love about the simple addition?

Johnny Depp altered his tattoo for Amber Heard after their divorce

One thing that’s gripped the world in recent months is the legal drama that’s been unfolding between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. Even long before the former took the latter to court, the news of their bitter divorce and accusations was no secret. It was this that saw Johnny alter one of his former tattoos he got for Amber.

The actor often called Amber “Slim,” so he had the word tattooed along his fingers. However, the divorce was enough to see Johnny change it to “Scum” instead. Several were quick to call out Johnny, stating he was being too harsh, so the actor had it altered once again to say “Scam,” and it’s remained that way since.

Pete Davidson allegedly has several tattoos in honor of Kim Kardashian

If you tried to count Pete Davidson’s tattoos, you’d probably be there for a few hours - if you didn’t lose count along the way. However, not everyone knows the meaning behind all the ink the comedian has amassed throughout the years. Pete is someone who seems to document his life through his inkings, including his relationship with Kim Kardashian.

Pete allegedly has a host of tattoos dedicated to Kim, including “My girl is a lawyer” that he has on his collarbone. This is thanks to Kim’s newfound passion for law work, especially getting people she believes have been wrongly convicted free at last. Unfortunately, their split might mean Pete is back getting yet more cover-up tattoos.
