Demi Lovato’s rib cage tattoo saw it’s third incarnation in September 2016, courtesy of artist Bang Bang. With each update the tattoo has grown larger and now the huge piece covers her whole side.
The tattoo began with the lyrics “you make me beautiful” from the Bethany Dillon song “Beautiful.” This was Demi’s very first tattoo which she got when she was only sixteen. The tattoo has religious meaning to Demi, reminding her that she can find confidence in knowing that God has made her perfect. A few years later, in 2011, she added a pair of feathers behind the writing.
For the latest update, Bang Bang drew a dream catcher around the lyrics, using the previous pair of feathers as part of the dreamcatcher while also adding three more smaller feathers floating at the bottom and some strands of beads. None of the beads or feathers are attached to each other, giving the design a light and ephemeral feeling.
Sofia Richie has added a discreet tattoo to her ink collection. She had her last name tattooed in script behind her right ear.

In September 2015, Demi Lovato got this writing tattoo on the inside of her left foot which is very faint in all photos. It says “Buddy was here” in memory of her dog Buddy who was killed by a coyote in her own backyard. The font was specifically chosen to look like a child’s handwriting and the letter “h” is written backwards. Demi has also created t-shirts with the same design which she sold during the Future Now Tour and in her online merch store.
Buddy, a maltipoo (Maltese/Poodle cross-breed) puppy, was a Christmas gift from Demi’s then-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama in December 2014. Though she had Buddy for than a year, the adorable pup garnered a following of over 300,000 fans on his instagram page. She first announced his death in Twitter post on July 28, 2015:
“We are absolutely heartbroken to be writing this but Wilmer and I are devastated to inform you that we lost our little angel Buddy last Sunday. He was taken from us way too soon in a tragic accident and though I will never know why this had to happen, I do know that God only puts us through situations that we can handle so with that, together we our staying strong. We have incredible people around us and so much love and support which is holding us up in this time of need. Buddy was loved by so many people and as small as he was, he made a huge impact in our lives. He truly was human in a way and we were so blessed to have him in our lives…We will never forget our baby boy Buddy and his gentle loving spirit will live on in our hearts forever. RIP my tiniest little nightingale, Buddy…”
A few days later, she wrote on instagram “This has been the most painful week of my life but because Wilmer and I had so much love and support, I’ve been able to stay strong and will continue to get through this difficult time.”
Demi Lovato got a new dog named Batman in August 2015, but that doesn’t mean she’s forgotten about Buddy. “Nothing will EVER replace my little lion heart @DemisBuddy… ever ever ever… but sometimes God puts new little souls in our lives,” she tweeted. On the one year anniversary of his death, she tweeted “RIP to my baby boy Buddy. You will forever be my baby angel. I miss you so much.. Wish Batman could’ve met his big brother. ???”

These five Roman Numerals on Demi Lovato’s left side represent the birthdates of her family members. She got the tattoo at Bang Bang’s New York City studio late at night following a concert. Though she first revealed the ink in a twitter picture in November 2014, it wasn’t brand new at the time. In a throwback instagram post she mentioned getting the tattoo done in the summer of 2014, but it seems most likely that it was on October 27, 2014 following her Demi World Tour performance at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.

Demi has had a complicated relationship with him due in large part to mental health issues, but he still hold a special place in her heart. “I was very conflicted when he passed, because he was abusive,” Demi says. “He was mean, but he wanted to be a good person. And he wanted to have his family.”
Not included in the tattoo is Demi’s older half-sister Amber, who is the child of Demi’s estranged father. Amber has not been a part of her life — Demi didn’t even know she existed until 2012.
