Ariana Grande got a “lumos” tattoo on the side of her hand in May 2018. In the Harry Potter universe “lumos” is the charm for creating light in the dark.
This tattoo has many personal meanings for Ariana relating to her music, her life, and her relationship — all of which are deeply entwined. Her new album Sweetener has lots of references to brighter times ahead including the song “the light is coming.” Her tattoo also relates to a huge Dumbledore quote that Pete has on his forearm saying “Happiness can be found / Even in the darkest of times / If one only remembers to / Turn on the light.” So the lumos spell, turning on the light, is the key to inviting happiness into her life.
Ariana Grande and her ex-boyfriend Ricky Alvarez have matching tattoos that say “hi” on their toes. Ricky was one of her backup dancers and they are thought to have dated from April 2015 to July 2016.
This tattoo was revealed at the American Music Awards on November 22, 2015 but is rarely ever seen since Ariana almost exclusively wears closed-toed shoes.
Sia tattooed the words “don’t think” on the back of her left hand to remind her to trust her instincts.
Fans are split over what this tiny writing on Ariana Grande’s ring finger says. At first glance it looks like “pete,” which would be an obvious choice seeing as she and fiance Pete Davidson have gotten many tattoos dedicated to each other and it’s on the same finger as her engagement ring.
But upon closer inspection, there’s no stem on the letter “p” and an extra up-swipe before the “e.” That’s why others are convinced that it says “arte” which is the Italian word for “art.” Ariana has drawn heavily from classic Italian art for the visual accompaniments to her single “God is a woman.” The music video reinterprets the Capitoline Wolf sculpture as well as Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam while her VMA performance of the song was based on Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper. She is ethnically Italian and one of her earliest tattoos was of another Italian word “bellisima” on her side.
We initially thought the tattoo said “pete” but after staring at it for way too long, we’re team “arte.” Unless perhaps it’s an ambigram meant to show both words at once, implying that Pete is art?
Either way it matches the location of one of Pete’s finger tattoos — and we have no idea what his says. His ring finger ink pre-dates hers, which she got in July 2018.
Ariana Grande has a tattoo of the word “always” on left side of her rib cage. The inking was revealed in the music video for “Bed” with Nicki Minaj in June 2018. It’s another token of her whirlwind relationship with fiance Pete Davidson and it appears to be written in his handwriting. Fans have compared it to a letter that he wrote to show that it’s a match.
Her choice of the word “always” is presumably a reference to the Harry Potter series. Both Ariana and Pete are huge fans and they’ve got other Harry Potter tattoos as well. He has the Deathly Hallows symbol on his arm, a lightning bolt on his wrist, and a long quote in the Harry Potter font. Ariana’s an even bigger fan and he’s mocked her encyclopedic knowledge of every minor detail in the books.
Kyra Santoro has “LOA” inked on her left ankle. LOA stands for “Law of Attraction” which is something she believes strongly in. Law of Attraction is the idea that people focusing on positive thoughts, your positive energy will bring good experiences into your life; and dwelling on negativity will do the opposite.
Jillian Rose Reed has a tattoo on her left side reading “out of my hands”.
Julia Michaels has talked about how much she hated the lotus tattoo on her elbow, which she got the day than an ex-boyfriend dumped her. She thought it was poorly done and looked more like a “colorful artichoke.” So in July 2018 she had artist London Reese draw an “X” through it and added the words “BAD IDEA” with “BAD” above the lotus and “IDEA” below it. “Because it was. And he was,” she wrote.
Freja Beha Erichsen has a tattoo on her left forearm reading “redemption” in cursive font.
