Demi Lovato faith elbow tattoo

Demi Lovato tattooed the word “faith” on her right arm, below her elbow, in December 2011. This is a matching tattoo with her friend Lauren Martin, whom she met in treatment at Timberline Knolls.

Demi’s father isn’t a fan of her tattoos and she has a history of getting tattoos without telling him. She didn’t tell him about her “faith” or finger tattoos. However she plans to keep getting more tattoos despite his disapproval. When asked if she was thinking about a new tattoo, Demi responded “Always! I’m like ‘what can I get next’ and my dad’s like ‘nooooo!’…He does not approve of them.” (more…)

Demi Lovato has “Rock N Roll” tattooed on the middle finger of her right hand. Though she herself is a pop artist, Demi is a big fan of rock and roll music.

Demi’s friend Hanna Beth Merjos also has a “Rock N Roll” tattoo in larger letters on the side of her hand. Though Demi and Hanna Beth got matching kiss tattoos together, Hanna Beth has had this particular tattoo for quite a while and it’s not clear whether Demi’s intention was to match her.

Demi has suggested that she might consider laser tattoo removal in the future since this tattoo and many of her others are very youthful. On Live! With Kelly & Michael, Demi said: “I’ve thought about it [tattoo removal] before, because when I get older I don’t know if I’m going to want to have ‘rock and roll’ on my middle finger. But whatever, I’m young and I can rock it now and when I get older I can worry about that later.” (more…)

Some time in late 2011 Demi had “peace” tattooed in a script font on her finger. It is on the side of the middle finger of her left hand beside the knuckle. This is not an ideal spot for a tattoo because the fingers rub together and cause the ink to blur or fade. In Demi’s case it seems that the letter “e” is already wearing off.

Demi’s finger tattoos are her most discrete ink and aren’t very noticeable unless you are looking for them. She says “I have I think like 12 tattoos now, but I have them all in…not hidden places, they’re just places you wouldn’t think.” (more…)

Demi Lovato’s most well know tattoos are the words “Stay Strong” on her wrists. Demi added these tattoos in March 2011 shortly after she spent nearly three months in rehab treating her issues with cutting and bulimia, with which she had struggled for many years.

The tattoos remind her to think positively. She told 20/20 “The message is for me. It says ‘Stay Strong.’ So every day no matter if I’m putting on my shoes or putting on my makeup, I see it every day, to stay strong.”

They were placed on her wrists, an area that she used to cut, in order to cover her scars as well as to serve as a symbol of her tremendous growth and recovery. Demi says “It was very symbolic for me to be able to be able to cover that up and also replace it with something else that’s permanent so that I’ll never be able to forget the support that I had when I went in [to treatment].” (more…)

Avril Lavigne La Vie En Rose arm tattoo

Avril Lavigne’s biggest tattoo yet is the writing on her left forearm which says “La vie en Rose / Vivre le moment présent”, which is French for “Life in Pink / Living in the moment.” She got this tattoo with her husband Chad Kroeger, though they weren’t yet dating at the time. Avril and Chad were working together writing songs for her self-titled album when she suggested the tattoos. Avril told Chelsea Lately “When I met him I was really surprised that he didn’t have any tattoos, so the second day in the studio I’m like, ‘I’m so getting you your first tattoo.’” The tattoos weren’t intended to be matching — originally Avril had just the first line “La vie en Rose” and Chad had “Vivre le moment présent,” but she later added the second line in order to match his.

Demi Lovato’s first tattoo was revealed in June 2010, 2 months before the Disney star’s 18th birthday. However Demi stated in an interview that she got the tattoo when she was 16. “I was 16. And I got it in some tattoo artist’s apartment. Like it was so sketch, it was in L.A. But I wanted to get tattooed so bad. I do things out of rebellion. So that was like one of the main reasons why I got it so young.”

She kept the tattoo secret for a long time because as a young Disney star, she felt like she had to keep up a clean image for her young fans. Back in April 2009 she tweeted: “I’m not going to, but if I wasn’t a rolemodel and I didn’t have young fans, I would definitely have tattoos and piercings.” She was afraid of the public backlash even though she didn’t believe that having tattoos would make her a bad influence. “If a young Disney actress got tattoos and piercings, she would get eaten alive in the media.”

The tattoo is of the words “you make me beautiful” written on the right side of her ribs. The phrase comes from the song “Beautiful” by Bethany Dillon, a song which Demi claims changed her life. When asked about it’s meaning, she explained: “The words were so encouraging and lifted me through a really dark time in my life. It’s kind of a Christian tattoo, so for me it’s religious, but it could be for anybody.”

Demi first heard the song when she was 13 years old and it changed her outlook on life. She connected with the song because she has dealt with eating disorders, self-harm and low self-esteem for many years. Demi had the uplifting words inscribed in a time when she was still struggling, before receiving treatment. This tattoo is very rarely seen so it seems that Demi got it mostly as a reminder to herself. She told MTV “It’s one of my favorite songs ever. I got it because I was dealing with self-image issues. So I got it tattooed on me to look in the mirror every day and remind myself that I am beautiful.”

She has added onto this tattoo twice, with a pair of feathers in 2011 and a dreamcatcher in 2016.
