Arm Tattoos

Adele

Adele has added to the collection of tattoos on her wrist on three separate occasions. First were the three dots which she got as a matching tattoo with Joy Williams from the indie-folk duo The Civil Wars.

Next she visited artist Tanja Nixx who gave her a mimimalist coin design which is the largest of the tattoos on this wrist.  It is a simple circle with an outline of a heart and the words “ONE PENNY” for her mother Penny Adkins.

Most recently, she added a date inside of the coin.  The numbers are hard to read, but it is thought to say “1921” for her first two albums 19 and 21, which are both named after her age at the time.

Melanie Martinez’s upper arm tattoo is a young girl eating a bowl of alphabet soup — but she added some spiders to give it a morbid twist.  She explained to GRAMMY Pro:

It’s based off an illustration from the 50’s of a Campbell’s Soup girl eating soup, but I had him draw bugs next to it.

It was done by Pancho Placas at High Seas Tattoo Parlor in May 2016, at the same time as her clock tattoo. (more…)
