Tameka "Tiny" Cottle-Harris
Tameka Tiny Harris’ left arm tattoo is two shackled hands in a praying position. She also has the name of her R&B girl group Xscape.
She told Urban Ink: “I always tell people that the praying hands tattoo is about praying to escape. The symbol is the broken shackles on the arms. And you know, with the group I was in (Xscape) and going through a break-up. It’s a lot to deal with. So that was my first tattoo, so it symbolizes a lot and it means a lot to me.”

Sky Ferreira
Sky Ferreira has an ornate dagger tattoo on her left forearm. She wanted to get something big and something that was different than the usual girly tattoos. “It’s very masculine but the shading is very feminine, so it balances out,” she says.
This was like right when I moved to New York, a few months before my 18th birthday. I was living on my own now. So when I look back on it, that’s what I’m going to think of, is when I finally kind of became an actual adult.

Chrisette Michele
Chrisette Michele has a portrait of Audrey Hepburn from her iconic role as Holly Golightly in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. She later updated the tattoo to include a baroque-style frame.
Chrisette was so enamored with Audrey that she released a mixtape entitled “Audrey Hepburn: An Audiovisual Presentation” in 2012. She explained “I was in love with her movies and her humanitarian efforts. I was in love with her style, I was in love with her whole entire vibe which really spoke to me. My mom had always sung her songs when I was young. So I just wanted to capture whatever I could of Audrey Hepburn for myself.”
