Katy Perry has gotten a tattoo for each of her albums when she’s near the end of her touring cycle. With Witness: The Tour winding down, she finally got her Witness tattoo on August 17, 2018, a few days before the end of the six-continent world tour that started back in September 2017.
Her previous three tattoos — a strawberry, a peppermint, and a prism — have all been on her ankles and have all had a very similar style, turning symbols from the album into colorful cartoon characters with cutesy eyes. But everything is different with this tattoo: different tattoo artist, different body part, and a completely different design style.
She flew Los Angeles-based artist Dr Woo out to Sydney Australia to tattoo herself and many members of her crew. He is known for his intricate fine-line designs, and he applied his signature style to this tattoo. Katy had said a while ago that her Witness tattoo would likely be “some form of an eye,” and Dr Woo’s design is that, but there’s also a lot more going on in it.
The pupil of the eye has a ring around it to look like a planet and the white parts of the eye are drawn with architectural curved lines through them. The whole design has a very outer space feel, looking almost like a spaceship or a satellite, which is reinforced by the twinkling star above it. But the eye also has a little teardrop in the corner.
Katy chose an eye for her tour tattoo since eyes have been the most prominent symbol of her Witness era. The album cover features Katy with an eye in her mouth and eye motifs have been used for her stage backdrops and costumes. The elongated eye shape of her tattoo, with the whites separated from the iris, is copied directly from the eye-shaped video screens behind the stage.
The Saturn-like planet in her tattoo is also inspired by the tour’s stage art. Katy performed the song “Thinking of You” each night while flying through the air on top of a planet.
The Sanskrit is incorrect. It said “Anuugacchati Pravaha” but it’s “Anugacchatu Pravaham.”
You all just need to get over yourselves, Katy Perry is an amazing singer and she can do what ever she wants with her life. Just because she is a famous person doesn’t mean you all can come on here and be rude about what she decides to do with her life so stop posting stupid messages that are ridiculous because you are just making yourself look stupid so when you can finally stop bitchin* about Katy And every other famous person don’t post anything
I mean post something*
not, not post anything
Did you miss comma class?
I Love Katy Perry & Her All Songs Her Voice is Superb, I Have All Songs Of Her
am a big fan of KATY PERRY
Her parents must be heartbroken that she has chosen to reject the truth of the Gospel, and instead follow the broad road to destruction. Imagine rejecting truth for the lies of a false religion. To have been raised with the truth and then embrace a lie is like spitting in His face, as well as her parents.
Her parents are likely seeing many people get saved after hearing the Gospel … but as satisfying as that is, it would still be heartbreaking to see your own daughter choose the darkness over the light.
For what does it profit a woman to gain the whole world, yet lose her soul?
Shame on you for dishonouring your parents in this way. Honoring them is a command, not a suggestion. You are a role model for how young ladies are never to dress or act.
you choose to live YOUR life inside of a book. what then, prayer tell, are you doing online?
shut up John
I agree with you..she is like the prodigal son . God will strip her of everything so she can seek him. Her parents pray for hee to return to her roots and God will bring her back
Katy Perry I have the same amount of tattoos as you I like my tattoos and I like your music a lot Katy Perry
She actually has 8 tattoos. You’re forgetting her SUPERBOWL tattoo on her middle finger. “XLIX” there’s a picture of it on her instagram.
The diper ball tattoo
And a triangle face
Life is just like river. You have to flow accordingly till the end.
*8 small tattoos! she just got XLIX inked on the side of a finger which represents her halftime show performance at Super Bowl XLIX! (:
u konw dan sanskrit is mother of english even most european languages.
its not dead language.
Make tattoo, make love, marry and then divorce within a year. This is what our young generation have to look up to in their ‘stars’. I love Katy Perry but young people have to see their life critically. Just saying.
Chillax
Just an FYI. The Sanskrit tattoo actually says “Anugacchatu pravah” not “Anugacchati pravah”. “Anugacchatu pravah” would mean go with the flow. “Anugacchati pravah” would mean goes with the flow.
Also, Sanskrit is not a spoken language. it is used in books. Most perfect and precise language..
Its an ancient (dead) language, certainly not spoke in India, though many other asian languages (including hindi, bangla, thai) have their roots in sanskrit.
It is not spoken in daily life but it is taught up to class 10 in almost every state of India. One may opt for further studies. so not dead. Also all the rituals and religious ceremonies are performed using Sanskrit in hindi language speaking states
Same thing
Shouldn’t this be “Anugacchatu pravaham”. Trying to recollect from my Grade 10 Sanskrit :-)
The dot above the last character would add “am” in the end.
they are not looking at their selves very good they are demonic girls but i do not know about katy perry
Yep:)
Both me and my 3 yrs old son love Katy Perry – in different ways ;)
Oh my goshh I love Katy Perry!!!! She is just so amazing!!!!!!! But.. I wish she did show her love for her religion aye!
I would say:
Pray for her :)
you mean the fundi religion that is ‘nutty’. (aren’t they all?) the one that pushed for prohibition? Where prohibition caused more deaths, disrespect for the law, eroded respect for region as a whole, created organized crime, corrupted law enforcement, court systems and politics. Changed drinking habits for the worse. Prevented treatment of drinking problems, a time that was economically extremely expensive. That evangelical religion?.. ah. Katy is smart.. sees through the BS.
Oh your not talking about the utopia of athesim called communism ? That is responsible for more wars than Christianity and those that follow Jesus. Your talking religion and man made governments.
You are the best and I look just like you I like the song part of me was he your boyfriend.
uhm, they’re cute, but this summer i’ll kick your ass with my new tatto: infinite with an anchor and the script “i refuse to sink”. kiss my ass.
No need to be rude.
Pretty sure everyone has a damn anchor tattoo now, so it’s not cool because it’s too popular. HA!
Can I see a picture of your tat? I love anchors and what yours represents !
but anchors sink….
That’s a really good point.
The lotus tattoo on her hand is so small! The peppermint and strawberry tattoos are too cute :)
That’s so true, you are so right Stephen! I agree. Seriously people… Those are specials meanings to her, find your own specials meanings instead of copying. Just try to imagine you getting a tattoo that means a lot you and someone copy it just because he/she likes it. I bet you wouldn’t be happy about it, would you?
Vicky, I couldn’t agree more with your last statement. My husband has 5 tattoos, and his step-sisters like the one on his left arm of a purple moon, which is actually symbolic to him, so they all have the plan of getting the same tattoo when they turn 18, just in different colors. This bothers him so much, but they always tell him “So? We like it, so we’re going to get matching ones.” They just don’t understand what it means to him.
Similarly, my buddy has 20 tattoos. Some are silly, some aren’t. My absolute favorite tattoo of his is of a feather with a key, but I’m not going to copy it because it doesn’t hold any meaning to me. However, once my husband’s step-sister saw his tattoos, she instantly started naming off all the ones on his arms that she’s “going to get” when she’s 18.
Everyone has other interests now. At my school everyone is 11, 12,& 13 year olds. No one likes Katy Perry anymore. Durring the summer break from 4th grade everyone loved her. Now it’s 2013 everyone in interested in other singers like One Direction. Not trying to be mean or anything. Just saying.
Ha.. you’re so wrong. Wait till you’re outta middle school. Katy Perry has always had an older, more mature fan base. She will be releasing new songs this summer, and then you will start to see her fan base pop up again. One Direction will be gone soon haha. Their new album didn’t do as well as the first one. Like you said, I’m not trying to be mean, I’m just saying. Katy will be here a long time regardless of what little middle schoolers think ;)
I couldn’t agree more with the above statement. Katy Perry is more adult and mature fan based than middle schoolers. I saw her in concert in Tulsa. AMAZING!!! To say the least. I think she will be iconic in music for decades. One direction is “just a phase”
personally I wont let my 6yr old watch her videos and I listen to the music before she (kiddo) does simply because Katy IS adult related. I personally love Katy. She has a great voice! Some of her music is inspiring…example RoaR…Lakewood High School all got together! it was totally awesome!
I let my 5 & 8 yr old boys watch her Part of me tour on foxrel & we are all going to her brisbane show.. She truly is one of a kind. At least she actually sings the songs and doesnt fake it.
So Me & my family think she is Awesome
Are they all that thick they need a tattoo to remind them of a life long mantra or dramatic moment? Whats wrong with just remembering it, not wasting the money and not looking like a dick head?
It would make me reall angry I had a beautiful tattoo that meant something to me and my sis decided she was going to get it just because she liked the look of it.
Well she’s not a great singer but her songs are catchy I guess and she seems nice so I can understand why she has so many fans. But I think it’s scary that many of you want tattoos like hers, especially ‘go with the flow’. It is special to her but half of you I’m sure don’t even know what the phrase means. I think ppl should get tattoos that mean something to them not just to copy a singer that you might not like anymore in 5 or 10 years. Just saying copying is ok if you can live with it the rest of your life.
The bible says you shouldn’t mark or pierce your body in any form.
You are right there … very good point made.
The bible says a lot of things that neither Katy (or many other people) believe or adhere to.
The bible also says you shouldn’t wear mixed fabrics. Are you absolutely certain you have no polyester & cotton blends in your closet?
I personally don’t like tattoos, but hers are generally very small so I don’t mind them too much. With so many pop icons today that are covered with so many tattoos they scarcely look human anymore, I have to say Katy Perry is refreshing. She even wrote a song about how Christ helped her through a particularly difficult part of her life and it has done quite well on the charts. Unfortunately she has also written songs filled with foul language and too many of her songs seem to be about sex, but I just have to make sure I buy the g-rated versions of her music. I don’t mind a bit that she is my 11 year-old’s favourite singer. Most definitely better her rather than someone like Marilyn Manson!
hi sad. you’re so fucked up. that’s sad.
she got a lotus flower tattoo on her right wrist this past Jan! xxxx
[…] We first gawked at the, er, kinetic lingerie during a screening of Perry’s new docu-flick, “Katy Perry: Part of Me,” which shows the 27-year-old singer performing on her 2011 tour in a shiny candy-inspired outfit complete with twirling peppermint candy-shaped pasties. (FYI, Perry also has the peppermint logo tattooed on her ankle.) […]

It sucks that Katy & Russel are not together anymore, now they both have constant reminders of what didnt last, HOWEVER i love all of the tatoos and they hold meaning which is even more amazing!!! <3
I Love the Tattoo “Anuugacchati Pravaha” in Sanskrit language Which Signifies “Going With The Flow…..
I LOVE her tattoos! Especially the strawberry & peppermint! She is one of the only celebs who has tats that I like!
we’re discussing “why”..
My tattoo was stolen from a kid my freshman year of college named Zak. He had lyed down on the floor in a t-shirt & his sleeves came down & he had two different tribal bands on each arm & I thought it was cool u could tattoo jewerly onto ur skin & not have to put it on. So I guess it’s a ring really but for what I don’t know. I then went home & used Cadkey drafting software in 2d to come up with a flat design I wanted. When I threw away the box of folders on wembly drive the orignal scotch taped together template was in it. But anyways I wanted the lines as thin as possible to reflect the delicay of the art & how fragile EVERYTHING in life, especially art truly is. So I went to Capital Tattoos in Silver Spring & listened to Allen Coe while the artist told me he had to beef up the lines & couldn’t do the fine ones I’d choosen. I passed out & sesured in the middle of it & ate peanut m&ms in the middle of the tattoo to regain concisness. It was a badge of honor when the wound is fresh & u know what U designed will be bold. I want a 6 on my neck bad.
The Sanskrit tattoo is nice but Sanskrit is not spoken anywhere. It use to be spoken in India but it is no longer a spoken language. Too bad hers matches Russell Brand’s tattoo.
all of you guys are fukinn retarted if you like her tattoos so much go get one ur fukin self
Maniac. Shut the. Fuck up.
I like her, but her Sanskrit tattoo has 2 spelling mistakes, LOL.
I love Katy Perry! She’s beautiful. Her songs, outfits, nails, tattoos, are so cute!
Everything about her is beautiful! <3

i love love love katy perry so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so much
luv katy perry soooooooooooo much:):):):):):):):)
I actually do love her tatto’s. She’s young, funny, and outgoing. Her tatto’s definitely reflect that, especially the strawberry. Oh, and also, for all the commenters here who say “i don’t like her tatto’s, they’re stupid, etc..” Those obviously have meaning to her and SHE chose to get them. Not you. They aren’t yours. Are they really bothering you? Get over it and stop being so judgemental.
” She’s young, funny, and outgoing. Her tatto’s definitely reflect that, especially the strawberry. ” And when she gets old she will get ones to reflect that ? Goes to show you don’t need brains to have money.
It just means her body will have meaning and her life written all over her body. So fuck off and find an original answer.
i love allof katys tattos:P
what a shame… The sanskrit’s gone a bit wrong there:
anuugacchati pravaha = अनूगच्छति प्रवाह
her tattoo says anugacchatu pravaha… ~Oh well…
I love Katy!!! She is an insporation to me!(:<3 #1Fan(: And cassie you need to get a life and start figureing out good music and pure beauty!<3 Love you Katy Perry!!!(:<3
katy perry looks great with blond hair
Katy I love you literally more than anything in existence. You are unquestionably the sexiest human in history, the most talented female artist of our generation, have a really good sense of humor AND an incredible personality. I’d kill just to be with you. Russell Brand is the luckiest male alive because he has you….. I wish I was your husband…..
Not a big fan of her tattoos. The strawberry is cute, but not something I’d want permanently tattooed on my body. Just my opinion.
omg katy perry is awosome
I saw her in concert! She is amazing and really inspiring! I love her tattoos:)
Whoever says my girl Katy isnt inspiring must not have listened to the teenage dream album.. Teheh she inspired me to do lots of great things soo suck it

To Cassie: You actually have your own opinion and in my opinion katy perry ROCKKSS!!!! and you suck cassie(: not katy perry you!
i love her tattoos
i am going to steel her strawberry tattoo
They may say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but I don’t think that holds true with tattoos. I know several people who would feel insulted if someone copies their tattoos. Don’t get a tattoo just because you think it’s cute at the time; if you must get a tattoo, get one that holds special meaning for you. That way you will never tire of it. Now that Katy and Russell are divorced, I’m sure it won’t be long before she heads in to have her matching tattoo removed or at the very least alters it someway to make it her own.
WTF.!! i’m gonna have that straberry tattoo soon :] <3 love it.!
katy Perry sucks no talent slut only losers like her
Oo emm G! I love those tats!
your music is awesome. you rock P.S. YOU ARE AWESOME.
katy parry has awesome tattoos. Her music video fireworks everytime i hear it i feel like getting up and dancing to it all the time.
Kids don’t get tats – age will catchup with them!!
in ”FIREWORK ”your song i saw your tattoo.
The Jesus tatoo is because her parents were Christian pastors and when she was a child she was only allowed to sing Gospel songs. It’s just a tribute to where her career started and I guess her belief system. (:
hiya i love you tattoos

every on e loves them

O M G ! i love that sanskrit ! so beautiful like katy ! :DD
I LOVE that strawberry! i want a tattoo like that! and i reallyyyy love her nails in that pic too!
cool, love the sanskirt :)
I like Katy’s music and I think she’s hot, however… I don’t know what there is “inspirational” about her. I guess if you aspire to be a singer, (especially if you’re a woman who wants to make dance/pop music like hers), then I could see it, but if you’re just a fan, then I’m curious as to just what she is inspiring you to do or be, and how is she doing that for you? …Or are people simply saying “she’s so inspiring” as a nice thing to say about her to show how much they like her?
Not sure what is going on with the Jesus tattoo. I would hope that she believes He is her Savior. That doesn’t take away from her individuality or fun personality. Face it. We need some things to govern how we live. She’s a smart one…
love the inner arm tattoo. my grandmother had something similar when she was alive. same position on arm too. it was an arabic prayer.
She’s a great singer, and has gorgeous eyes, but she’s no reason to hate yourself because you don’t like her.
I also don’t understand why people would get the tattoos she has. They’re her individual pieces, who wants to be a copy or clone? You should want something of your own, be original, not a copy cat. Cute berry, yes, but why get it just because she has it? And do you really want to have a tattoo that tons of girls now have?
Should her marriage to Brand fail (here’s hoping it doesn’t!) she may herself regret getting a tattoo that is just like his. So what’s to say you all won’t someday no longer like her, or her music, but still have that tattoo almost permanently stuck on you?
Laser tattoo removal isn’t cheap. ;)
I love the go with the flow I was seriously considering getting it but I don’t want to copy her exactly would be lme would it not? Strawberry one is awesome wish I could pull that off.
i have the go with the flow one on my hip (:
I love her strawberry tattoo sooo much! i got one like it :) Katy Perry is amazing!
Her nails are cute, look like artwork from Romero Britto!
Omgg im in love with her jesus tattoo!!!!! i want one soo bad now.. shes soo gorgeous i love her! i love her vintage style ;) and also love alll her songss!
love you katyy!! mwahh :D
Sad, I really hope you’re being sarcastic. No one should want to die because they don’t look like a celebrity. Yes, she’s beautiful, but how does that reflect on your worth as a human being?
The Jesus tat makes me want to gag, but I will forgive her because I chose to believe she got it while still brainwashed by her father. Hopefully she is thinking for herself these days.
hmm i really can’t say katy isn’t inspiring because to me she is. she’s gone so far in such short time and that is trully inspiring. There is no need to say she sings bad or she’s pathetic or any of that cuz she’s just very talented in some way, plus everyone is free to express themselves and to have their own opinions, right? so “KATYSUCKS” keep your own fuckin opinion to yourself, if your so fuckin mad at the world why even bother talking? lol; you’re trully pathetic :) haha…oh and about the us “getting an education” part, why don’t you go ahead and get one yourself? maybe you wouldn’t be waisting your time writing comments for katy perry’s pictures with a “katysucks” name…idiot:) oh and we can put as many fucking happy faces as we want:):):):) what can you possibly do about it? lol
anyway…katy perry, you’re awesome(:
she makes me upset. she’s really attractive, and that’s why i hate her. because i am jealous of her. and i just want to die when i see that i don’t look like her. the fact that she is that thin with naturally large breasts causes me physical pain from jealousy.
the fact that people consider her inspiring, honestly, makes me nervous about the worlds future.
The strawberry is cute, but I wouldnt get one. The glow with the flow is nice, but I think the bicep is not the best place to put it. The wrist or the ankle wouldve looked better. & I LOVE KATY, so katysycks STFU :)
katy perry whatt a babee ilove herr millions im doin my school work about her (: <3 <3 <3 love youu katy perry
i love the Jesus one. the strawberry one is cute, too, and the Go With The Flow one is awesome, too. :) i agree with rachelvictoria <3. katy is VERY inspirational. =)
i AM katys number one fan. you dont even knoww. shes so gorgeous (: and i love her tats! the strawberry is so cute! i want the go with the flow one on my arm aswel.
; god love katy perry, she is an inspiration to all ♥
OMG I wanted a tattoo on my wrist saying jesus! Oh well i’ll still get it AHAHAHh
You swear (blaspheme the name of God) breaking the 3rd commandment while claiming you want a tattoo of Jesus? That won’t help you on judgement day.
Catharine: I was totally thinking that! haha
I <3 tattoos :)
ohmygod! i love her nails on the strawberry pic!
:D
