Sky Ferreira has an ornate dagger tattoo on her left forearm. She wanted to get something big and something that was different than the usual girly tattoos. “It’s very masculine but the shading is very feminine, so it balances out,” she says.
This was like right when I moved to New York, a few months before my 18th birthday. I was living on my own now. So when I look back on it, that’s what I’m going to think of, is when I finally kind of became an actual adult.
Teardrop tattoos on the face have many traditional meanings, one of their symbolisms is that the wearer has been to prison. Sky Ferreira got hers on her finger in honor of rapper Lil Wayne when he was sent to jail from weapon possession in 2010. Lil Wayne himself has multiple teardrop tattoos on his face.
She told MTV: “I got a tear drop because this was right before Lil Wayne was going to jail. Even though that also means I killed somebody, but I didn’t kill anybody, sorry.” (more…)
Sky Ferreira has V-shaped vampire fangs on both of her middle fingers. She got the tattoos on a whim while she was at a tattoo parlor with a friend.
Sky Ferreira has a cartoonish crown tattoo behind her left ear. It’s similar to the famous Basquiat crown, but with six points instead of three. “I used to draw this crown on everything and it used to be my logo,” she told MTV. “And it I used to get people to spray paint it everywhere.”
Sky Ferreira got this star tattoo behind her ear when she was only 14 years old.
Tove Lo’s third tattoo is this design on her right forearm of a heart with an eye in the middle and flames coming out the top. The image comes from the paintings of artist Mark Ryden. She told Idolator “It’s in a lot of his paintings, but really small. So I wanted to blow it up because I just love the eye so much.” Tove Lo’s tattoo combines details from multiple occurrences of the symbol: the eye in the heart comes from the painting Sophia’s Mercurial Waters while the flames look most like those in Swap Meet Man.
The tattoo was done at Infamous Studio in Stockholm, Sweden. She describes her artist as “a total asshole but very talented.”
Tove Lo has had three tattoos — this flaming heart, a scorpion, and a girl riding a bee — for the entirety of her career, so we’re not sure precisely when she got them. She first showed off this tattoo in a June 2012 instagram photo, though it could possibly be older than that. (more…)
