Cher Lloyd got the question mark tattoo on her wrist in January 2011 and the peace sign shortly after in March 2011. She filled in her arm with a butterfly partial-sleeve in May 2011. She also added her husband Craig’s name in May 2012, after these photos was taken.
Demi Lovato showed off a new tattoo on the side of her left wrist in December 2013. It is a Roman Numeral “III” which represents the number 3. She got this tattoo in memory of her father Patrick Lovato who died in June 2013 after a long battle with cancer. Demi was not close with her father for the last few years of his life due in part to his struggles with alcoholism and mental illness, which she herself relates to.
She told Good Morning America: “My father and I didn’t have the most ideal relationship, but at the end of the day he’s still my dad and I grew up with him and he was a wonderful person…I’ve dealt with mental illnesses but my father also dealt with mental illness and he wasn’t able to function very well in society.”
Despite their strained relationship, Demi got the tattoo because she wanted to honor him positively. She also set up a scholarship fund in his name to help patients pay for mental illness treatment. “It’s the Roman Numeral three. It means a lot to me because my dad, it was his like number,” she told Craig Ferguson. “He passed this summer and I wanted to do something positive.”
The number three was her dad’s favorite number because he was a fan of NASCAR racer Dale Earnhardt, who drove car number 3. (more…)
Demi Lovato has a tattoo of red lips on left wrist which she got in July 2011 as a matching tattoo with friends Hanna Beth Merjos, Ivey Ensley and Lauren Pietra. Ivey and Hanna Beth had the kiss placed on their collarbones. The tattoo is of Ivey’s lips.
This playful tattoo stands in contrast to some of Demi’s other ink with much more serious meanings. She told Hollywood Life “I got like a kiss mark, and it’s just like a friendship tattoo and also it kinda reminds me not to take myself too seriously. I got like a fun tattoo rather than all these other ones that are so serious.”
You would have thought that having her feather ear tattoo turn out poorly would have taught Demi a lesson about getting tattoos in non-professional environments, but apparently it did not. She told MTV “It was also on Warped Tour. In a tour bus. Another one, different year,” while grimacing. In another interview, she said “It was just a spur of the moment stupid decision.”
Demi Lovato has come to hate this tattoo and joked that it looks like a vagina. Those comments upset tattoo artist Ashley McMullen, who claimed that Demi was drunk and rude when she got the tattoo, didn’t pay for it, and didn’t give Ashley any publicity. She put the blame for the bad tattoo on Demi, saying she gave Demi what she “specifically asked for…it is not my fault you wanted a pair of red lips on your wrist next to your upside down tattoo.”
She finally had the tattoo covered with a rose in April 2015. (more…)
Demi Lovato’s most well know tattoos are the words “Stay Strong” on her wrists. Demi added these tattoos in March 2011 shortly after she spent nearly three months in rehab treating her issues with cutting and bulimia, with which she had struggled for many years.
The tattoos remind her to think positively. She told 20/20 “The message is for me. It says ‘Stay Strong.’ So every day no matter if I’m putting on my shoes or putting on my makeup, I see it every day, to stay strong.”
They were placed on her wrists, an area that she used to cut, in order to cover her scars as well as to serve as a symbol of her tremendous growth and recovery. Demi says “It was very symbolic for me to be able to be able to cover that up and also replace it with something else that’s permanent so that I’ll never be able to forget the support that I had when I went in [to treatment].” (more…)
Naya Rivera has a Hebrew tattoo on her right wrist
on the back of Jodie Marsh’s left wrist are the words “Rock and Roll” surrounded by tiny music notes
The three members of Paramore – singer Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York, and bassist Jeremy Davis – all got matching tattoos in August 2011 to represent their unity as a band. Hayley and Jeremy both got it on their wrists while Taylor’s is a bit further up his arm, closer to his elbow.
Explaining the design, Hayley says “we just really wanted something simple that describes the three of us and the people around us.” The band drew a number of designs and decided on this one of a black rectangle with three white bars to represent the three band members. “It’s so simple, it really couldn’t get any more simple, but that’s the point,” Hayley explains. This logo was then used as the cover for Paramore’s Singles 7″ box set and digital release, the band’s first release a three-piece unit.
In a KROQ interview, Hayley joked that they can’t add any new members to the band because of the tattoos: “we just got tattoos that have only three white bars in them, so if we ever add any new members we’re screwed!” (more…)
In December 2010, Hayley Williams and her best friend Dakotah Rae got matching tattoos on their wrists of a tiny outline of a heart. (more…)
Asia Argento’s wrist tattoo is the name “PANOS”
She told BBC “It’s on my wrist, inside, and it says ‘Panos’. It’s this person that I met briefly that had a very strong impact on my life. I met him, like, for a day, and I had this name tattooed. It’s really crazy, this tattoo, I think it’s the craziest one I’ve ever made. But every few years I feel the urge to mark myself and mark the passages, as if my body was a map and every scar will always be with me, and every scar tells you where I’ve been, like an animal.”
She later had this tattoo lasered off and replaces with a new tattoo that says “Pause.”
