Selena Gomez’s Tattoo
Tweet
Selena Gomez has two tattoos. The 20-year-old singer and former “Wizards of Waverly Place” actress has a music note on her wrist and a Roman Numeral on the back of her neck.
Selena’s first tattoo was a tiny music note on the side of her right wrist. “I was named after a singer [Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla-Pérez] and music obviously is a big influence for me,” Selena told E! Online. “And there’s music stuff with my mom that means a lot to me, too.”
The tattoo comes after Selena announced that she’ll be taking a break from music to spend most of 2012 focusing on her acting career. Perhaps she wanted the tattoo to remind herself that music is a part of her even when she’s not performing?

Selena got the tattoo at Under The Gun in Hollywood, CA by artist Louie Gomez on February 22, 2012. Initial reports mistakenly claimed that the tattoo was of a heart.

Selena Gomez’s next inking was a Roman Numeral on the back of her neck, which is believed to be a tribute to her mother. Tattoo artist Bang Bang explained “The tattoo was a tribute to a family member who she said means a lot to her.” The tattoo reads “LXXVI” which is the number 76. Selena’s mother Amanda “Mandy” Teefey was born in 1976.
The tattoo was done at Bang Bang’s New York City studio on September 29, 2012. He says “Selena was nervous it might have been painful, so she held her best friend’s hand the whole time. But she did a great job.”

These are Selena’s only real tattoos. She has previously been rumored to have a cross tattoo on her hand, but it turned out to be drawn on with pen. She also fueled tattoo rumors when she drew boyfriend Justin Bieber’s name on her wrist for a concert, but (thankfully!) that was fake as well.

The music note is so small! The roman numeral tattoo on her neck looks awesome though!
Beautiful Girl Selena Gomez. Very Nice tattoo Design.
Those are the tiniest fucking tattoos I’ve ever seen. Avril Lavigne’s tatttoos are just as bad. So annoying.
I love her and her work but tattoos are meant to be meaningful and I think her tattoos represent that. Selenator foreeves
yeah ,me 2 think same ,that she wll nvr get a tattoo ,but she is showing now that she is not behind in comparison to other celebrity who having tattoo like rihanna ,miley ,and justin,
but seleana only have like two tatoos so that is good
I agree that her little music note is so small (that’s still her choice, you can’t do anything about that) that it will probably turn out to be a black dot in a few years but it’s not because you’re getting a tattoo that you have to get it like super big with lots of color and in a place where everyone can see it.
OMg people get over yourself ( i agree with you ashley-sheree) ssoo what if its small thats probs what she wanted something small, meaningful etc, any who i have small tattoos, their meaningful for me not the whole world to see and thats probably what she wants!!!
i thout selana would never get a tatoo
I love tattoos but i’m not gonna get any cuz if it goes wrong it’s permanent and you cant do anything about and removal is expensive and it hurts.
exactly!!!!
She 20 not 18
She has another one it’s a roman numeral on her back of her neck.

That is pretty cute. I am going to get a small one as well. So good pick Selena!!!!!!!!!
Hey I love the tattoo I specialty like the Justin tattoo!!!!!
She got it done small because in her religion your not really suppose to get tattoos
WHY IS IT SO SMALL……WHAT IS THE WORTH OF GETTING A TATOO WHEN ITS TOO SMALL…..STUPID GIRL
Why so tiny? You know after she got that tattoo, that acting career she’s talking about is her starring in a movie where she smokes cigarrettes, is prancing around in a bikini, and is entering a world of sex, drugs, and stealing. Once a good girl turns bad, she’s gone forever. I’ll mourn forever. All it took was a teeny tine music note on her wrist. I’mma see that movie though!
Um…cute? It’s one of those tattoos that’s not worth tattoing almost. You might as well sharpie it on.
Selena has also a little cross on her left wrist!
