Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj’s second tattoo is of the word “Barbie” on the inside of her right wrist. Throughout her career she associated herself with the Barbies as a symbol of female power. To her, the line of dolls represents how perfection can come in so many different forms. She told Wonderland “I feel like Barbie is great because it doesn’t only focus on beauty – you have Barbies that work, they have tons of different jobs now. And they come in different shades, which I love, and different hairstyles. So I think that they’ve gotten to the point where they’re making girls feel like it’s OK not to look like or be like the traditional Barbie.”
She calls her fans Barbz and has called herself a Barbie so many times that her Barbie image has taken on a life of its own. “It’s definitely a movement at this point,” she told MTV. “People really identify with me through that and I definitely don’t think that when we say ‘Barbie,’ we’re thinking of the plastic little doll with the blond hair anymore.”
She got her “Barbie” tattoo in June 2018 during the recording of her album Queen. The tattoo session was filmed for an episode of VH1’s “Black Ink Crew Chicago.” She called up Chicago-based artist Ryan Henry while he happened to be in Los Angeles and he met up with her in the recording studio to do the tattoo. “I have an album called Queen, and I want to always remember this era in my life, it’s like the best era that I’ve ever had making an album. So I want to commemorate that with getting a tatt.”
“I’m scared to do it here [on my wrist] because it everybody says it hurts, but I want to do it here,” she told the artist, who assured her that she could handle it. Having learned her lesson from the tattoo on her arm, which she initially wanted on her neck and has regretted changing her mind on, she was willing to endure the pain in order to get the tattoo on in the spot where she most wanted it.
It hurt a lot though! In a video which she livestreamed on her instagram, she can be heard crying out in pain. It was so bad that she had to stop midway through and numb the area. When it was finally done, she complained to artist Ryan that he hadn’t properly warned her how much it would hurt. But he was looking out for her interests and didn’t want her to back down because he knew that she wanted it to be on the wrist. And in the end she was happy with the results.

Katherine Heigl has a tattoo on her side reading “Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief”. The two lines are from the poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost:
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafs a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
