Lynn Gunn has a Latin tattoo on her left elbow says “EID MAR.” It is an abbreviation for “Eidibus Martiis” a Latin phrase meaning “on the Ides of March.” The Ides is the middle of each month in the ancient Roman calendar, with the Ides of March falling on March 15th.  The Ides of March was a religious holiday, but is most famous as the date that Roman dictator Julius Caesar was assassinated on in 44 BC. The phrase “EID MAR” began appearing on Roman coins following Ceaser’s assassination.

For Lynn, the Ides of March has personal meaning because her birthday is on March 15th.

Ash Costello completed her hand tattoo in April 2015. She got “1031” on her knuckles to represent October 31st.  Halloween is her favorite holiday, but it’s really become more of a lifestyle for her. Artist Ryan Ashley Malarkey also added swirls all around Ash’s existing “Dead” tattoo, connecting the swirls to the new numbers with teardrop-shaped beads.

Becky G has a tattoo on her left wrist which says “Familia” — the Spanish word for family. She comes from a Spanish-speaking Mexican-American family and is very in-touch with her heritage. “Although my Spanish is flawed and I didn’t grow up in Mexico, I take pride in my roots. My family’s history and the fact that all the traditions and morals passed down have shaped me to be who I am today is what it means to be a second-generation-born Mexican-American for me,” she told PopSugar.

She got this tattoo from artist Dr Woo in September 2016 at the same time as the dragonfly on her side. “My tattoos went well. I was not in pain. I felt very relaxed, very calm. And I think it’s because I waited for the right person to do them. It was tattoos that I was very, very sure of and I just felt really right about it,” she said in a Q&A video. She’d been planning both of her tattoos for a long time and tweeted about wanting a cursive “Familia” tattoo back in April 2016.
