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.
Sophie Turner paid tribute to her role as Jean Grey in the X-Men movie series by getting a tattoo of the X-Men logo on her left side. It’s not known exactly when she got the ribcage tattoo, which was first seen at the Beijing premiere of X-Men: Apocalypse in May 2016.
Rather than getting the classic X-Men logo, which has much thicker lines, her tattoo shows as updated version which serves as the logo for Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters in the film. Sophie played a younger version of Jean Grey who was a student at the school. She will resume her role as a more mature Jean Grey and alter-ego the Phoenix in the 2019 film X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
Fellow actress Alexandra Shipp, who plays Ororo Munroe / Storm, has a matching tattoo.
Noah Cyrus has a tiny “X” tattoo on her left elbow. Many people assumed that it was a tribute to deceased rapper XXXTentacion, who she collaborated with on her song “Again,” however she actually had this tattoo a month before his death.
It’s a matching tattoo that she shares with her boyfriend Tanner Drayton, though we aren’t sure why they chose the “X” design. Noah’s favorite tattoo artist Lauren Winzer inked the couple in May 2018. Rather than using her tattoo gun, she hand-poked them with a needle and ink.
Nia Lovelis gave herself this stick-and-poke “X” tattoo on her hand when she was 17 years old. Technically it’s her first inking, but she doesn’t count it as a real tattoo. “I don’t consider the “x” an actual tattoo,” she tweeted. “I don’t even remember that it’s there 90% of the time.” (more…)
Erika Costell has a red “X” tattoo on her right elbow for Team 10, the YouTube house which she is a part of. X is the roman numeral for 10.
She hates how this tattoo looks and actually wanted to get it removed. In a vlog she explained why she was planning to get rid of it:
“Right now it’s a bittersweet moment. I love Team 10, but it’s time to get my Team 10 tattoo removed…because the guy who did my tattoo completely screwed it up. It’s uneven. The color is ugly. It was just a total fail…That’s my seventh tattoo and I’ve had no problems with any other tattoos and I just can’t get used to this one. I hate it; it’s poorly done.”
However when she arrived for her appointment at LaserAway they told her that their machines were designed for black ink and they couldn’t remove her tattoo because of the color. She was warned that the lasers could actually make the tattoo worse or cause scarring, so she left with the tattoo still on her arm.
This little “X” tattoo on Tessa Brooks’ left side represents Team 10, which is a group channel of YouTubers founded by Jake Paul. She used to be part of along with her friend Erika Costell. The collective all live in the same house and create content together. “X” is the roman numeral for 10.
Tessa Brooks left Team 10 in January 2018. She credits the team with helping her grow her confidence in front of the camera and says it was a great experience that she looks back on fondly. However she and the rest of the team were headed in different creative directions. “You have to know when to let to go, and when to let things be,” she says.
Maggie Lindemann and her best friend Ellise got matching X X tattoos on their knuckles in January 2017. Both girls share a love of tiny hand tattoos and have other similar designs as well, such as dots and crosses.
In December 2015, Jessie J covered up the tiny stick figure tattoo on the back of her ankle with a large “X” and “O” made out of brushstrokes. She returned to artist Bang Bang, who gave her and her parents matching circle wrist tattoos only a few weeks earlier. (more…)
In July 2014, Halsey got an “XXX” tattoo on her right hand between her thumb and forefinger. “Now I’m the human version of a parental advisory sticker,” she tweeted.
