Black-and-Gray Tattoos

Lena Dunham

Lena Dunham gets a nek ink with a girl skateboarding on her stomach. The artwork is inspired by Lauren Thornhill Caswell and was done abobe her scar from her endometriosis surgery.
According to the Skateboarding Hall of Fame and Museum, Laura Thornhill Caswell is a skateboarder who first gained notoriety in 1975 at the age of 13 and went on to become the first female skater to get a board named after her and a full feature interview in Skateboarder magazine.

“Very satisfying evening getting my (decade old!) tats touched up by my good friend @rbrtbnhm at Brooklyn Tattoo. He added this new one, a @langleyfox illustration of living legend @laurathornhillcaswell. Cuz sometimes I really need a reminder that we came here to rip shit up… Plz note she’s riding one of my Endo scars ???”, Lena wrote on her Instagram post.

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus got a tattoo of a fish on her upper arm from artist Dr Woo in February 2015.  It is a tribute to Miley’s pet blowfish who passed away. She has a history of commemorating her pets through both her music and tattoos. She wrote a song “Pablow the Blowfish” for her digital album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz which was released in August 2015, a few months after the tattoo.

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus got this tattoo of a planet on her left forearm in April 2016. She shared a photo of the tattoo on her instagram page and implied that the planet was meant to be Jupiter, tagging her post with “#lilbbjupiter.” Her followers rushed to correct her and tell her that the planet with rings is actually Saturn, not Jupiter. However Miley is not entirely wrong — technically Jupiter does have rings, they just aren’t as prominent as Saturn’s.

She edited the instagram caption, which now reads “permaaaa skinnnnn arrrrrttttt by daaaa mosssst bad a$$ @laurenwinzer ?????? #stonerasfuck.” We don’t know whether she realized she had made a mistake or if she stands by it and just didn’t want to deal with the criticism. Tattoo artist Lauren Winzer seems to think it’s not any specific planet, writing “Lil baby planet and healed kitty from 2 years ago for lil baby @mileycyrus always getting the cutest things.”

Zoë Kravitz went to her favorite tattoo artist Dr. Woo on December 27, 2015 to get a new tattoo on the inside of her left forearm. Her tattoo is a palm tree on the beach with delicate leaves in Dr Woo’s signature single-needle style. “Bahamas” is written vertically along the trunk of the tree.

Zoë has multiple ties to the Caribbean island. Her paternal grandmother was from the Bahamas and her father owns a home there. She spent the 2015 Christmas holiday writing and recording new music with her band Lolawolf in the Bahamas and then got this tattoo as soon as she returned home to Los Angeles.

Miley Cyrus and her mother Leticia “Tish” Cyrus went together to get tattoos from artist Dr Woo in April 2016. Tish got an arrow on her arm and Miley got a tribute to Elvis Presley. On her right arm, just below her elbow, are the letters of Elvis’ name in the shape of a heart. It’s shaded so that the letters are dark and the top and bottom and lighter in the center. (more…)

Miley Cyrus got a tattoo of jar of Vegemite on the back of her left arm in July 2016. The tattoo is a tribute to her long-time boyfriend/fiance Liam Hemsworth, who is Australian. Vegemite is yeast-based food spread which is popular in Australia — and generally hated everywhere else!

While most of Miley’s arm tattoos have a homemade look to them, she went to famed Los Angeles artist Dr Woo for this one.  He used his signature half-needle technique to cram lots of detail into the small tattoo. (more…)
