Asami Zdrenka got her first tattoo from artist GabzInk in September 2013. It’s an owl and roses on her upper left arm, which is a tribute to her deceased father.
She writes: “I got the owl because my dad was covered in tattoos so I always have known I wanted them too. He had an owl in his thigh and I loved it, and roses represent my family so he is always protecting us. So my tattoo is in memory of my dad!” (more…)
Leigh-Anne Pinnock has two tattoos which are both located on her back. First she got the word “Believe” on the back of her neck.
In March 2013 she added a large tattoo spanning from the center of her back onto her right shoulder blade. The design is of sheet music with a treble clef on the left side and four butterflies which get progressively larger in size from left to right.
Leigh-Anne had the design drawn up by her good friend Hannah Lisa, who is a Fine Art student at Arts University Bournemouth. “Inked again mixers.. Designed by my beautiful bestie @hannahlisab :) thanks chick i love it!” Leigh-Anne tweeted.
The tattoo seems to have been quite painful. “A lot of squealing but we got through it and it turned out beautifully,” Hannah tweeted. Another friend responded “a little squealing? That’s an understatement, I was covering my ears lol.”
Leigh-Anne has not spoken about the meaning of the tattoo, but it is possible that it was inspired by Little Mix’s single “Wings,” with four butterflies for the four members of the group. The song contains the line “Mama told me not to waste my life, she said spread your wings my little butterfly.” (more…)

Cher Lloyd got a pair of tattoos in memory of her uncle Edward ‘Boo Boo’ Smith, who died of an accidental overdose when he was only 34 years old. Boo Boo passed away in September 201o while Cher was competing on The X Factor, and she got the tattoos in March 2011 which would have been his birthday. “I got a tattoo in memory of my uncle which is a bird flying out of a cage,” she says. On her right forearm is a bird carrying a ribbon with the word ‘Boo’, and in the same location on her left arm is a birdcage with an open door. She shared a picture of the ink of her twitter with the caption “Happy birthday uncle boo, missing you. New tattoo. Xxxx”
Only two months later, she got a huge butterfly tattoo on her forearm which surrounds the bird but does not cover it.
One of Cher Lloyd’s oldest tattoos is the one on her lower back. “I’ve got a big ribbon, like a bow,” she says. This tattoo is not shown very often, but it can be seen in her “Swagger Jagger” music video. (more…)
Demi Lovato added a flock of flying birds on her right forearm surrounding her “faith” tattoo in November 2012. The tattoo takes up the entire length of her forearm and was her first large tattoo. There are twelve black birds with a little swirl behind them. This design later appeared on the cover of Demi’s self-help book Staying Strong: 365 Days a Year.
The birds are a symbol of freedom. She didn’t think much about the number of birds at the time, but she later realized a connection to the Alcoholics Anonymous 12-step recovery program, with each bird representing one of the steps towards her freedom from substance abuse. “I love the freedom that birds represent and I didn’t specifically have a huge reason why I got 12 of them,” she told iHeartRadio. “But one day, one of my friends that I was at Sober Living, I was living in her Sober Living house, and they asked, ‘So why’d you get … How many did you get?’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,’ and I was like, ‘Whoa, I didn’t mean to do that.’ But it’s like, it was kind of like a God thing, like I worked the 12 steps, so as I got that while I was in Sober Living, apparently it was really meant to be.”
The tattoo was done by celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D, whom Demi happened to connect with through a friend. “I wanted more tattoos and I’d never done anything big, and it was very impulsive of me, like the night that I got it. Literally, I had a friend who had a friend that worked with Kat Von D. And so, literally at like 4:00 p.m. my friend hits up her friend, and that guy was out of town but Kat was in town. And so I was like, ‘Let’s get a tattoo,’ which by the way, people like book Kat way in advance! But it was so impulsive, so it was meant to be.”
