Cursive Tattoos

Bethany Cosentino

Best Coast singer Bethany Cosentino has three tattoos on the onside of her left arm.

On her upper arm is an illustraion of a two-tailed mermaid, also know as a Melusine. The tattoo resembles the original logo of Starbucks coffee.

On her elbow are the words “California Dreamin'”

One her forearm is a solid black silhouette of the state of California with the silhouette of a bear, California’s state animal, in the negative space. Best Coast’s logo looks like this but with a cat instead of a bear.

Katy Perry Jesus tattoo

Katy Perry’s oldest tattoo is “Jesus” written on her left wrist, which she got when she was 18. Katy comes from a religious family and her parent are both evangelical ministers. She grew up listening to only gospel music and released her own gospel album under her real name Katy Hudson in 2001.

Katy got this tattoo as a constant reminder of her religious upbringing, which will always be a part of her. In 2009 she told Katie Couric “I knew I wanted this on me because no matter how much changes around me or how much I change, there’s not really an eraser for this.” She says that when she plays the guitar, “It stares right back at me. It’s like ‘remember, you came from this, and you can always go back to it.'”

Katy has not spoken much about her current religious beliefs, but it seems that this tattoo is mostly about how she has been shaped by her past. “I think I’m not exactly what I was born into, but I still have my roots,” she says. “I appreciate it, and I respect it to the fullest.” Katy has clashed with her religious parents over her partying and songs about kissing girls, but they remain generally supportive of her career.

Lily Allen

Lily Allen and her friend Lindsay Lohan got matching “shhh…” tattoos on their index fingers at Shamrock Tattoos in West Hollywood after a night of partying.

Unfortunately Lily didn’t realize that Rihanna already had the same tattoo, and now regrets it. In an interview on the Australian TV show Rove, she revealed “I since found out that Rihanna’s got the same thing, so it’s not really — I mean she’s very cool, but you know what I mean, it’s like I thought I was being original.” Lily and Lindsay got their tattoos in February 2009 but Rihanna has had hers since June 2008.

It’s a reminder that you should always do your research before getting a tattoo!
