Florence Welch has a birdcage tattoo on the knuckle of her right middle finger. She collected birdcages as a child. “I got it done in Austin, Texas, at the Black Cat Tattoo parlour, where I got my first tattoo of a heart and a bird,” she told GQ. “I got it done at 2am by some massive guy with flame tattoos on his skull called Animal. It was a proper tattoo experience but it hurt so much.”
Fans who want to recreate the look without the commitment can buy a birdcage ring inspired by this tattoo from Florence’s jewelry line Flotique.
Four of Maggie Lindemann’s five knuckle tattoos are astronomy-related, so this dagger on her thumb seems out of place. Maggie explained in a tweet that this tattoo isn’t connected to the others: “I’ve wanted a knife for a while but didn’t know where to put it, so I saw someone with one on their thumb and fell in love.” She did however put dots below her nail like the tattoos on all of her other fingers. She got this tattoo from artist Romeo Lacoste on October 16, 2016 at the same time as the star on her pinkie. With all five fingers covered, she announced that her hand is now complete — but she’s still got room on her lower knuckles if she changes her mind!
The knife represents Maggie’s interest in blood and gore. “I’ve always been so fascinated with horror, murders, etc. so I felt it was appropriate,” she tweeted.
