Family Tattoos

Katya Elise Henry

Katy Elise Henry has a long roman numeral tattoo along her left forearm which says “LXVLXVIIILXXXVIIIXCIV”.  Though all of the digits are strung together on her tattoo, it represents four different numbers: “LXV” for 65, “LXVIII” for 68, “LXXXVIII” for 88, and “XCIV” for 94. We believe that this tattoo represents the birth years of her family members, with 65 and 68 for her parents Tawnya Nelson and Derick Henry, 88 for her older sister jewelry designer Tanaya Henry who was born in 1988, and 94 for her younger sister Gabrielle Henry.  However Tanaya’s is the only birth year that we can verify.

Sophie Turner

Sophie Turner has a tattoo on her right ring finger of five tally marks to represent the five members of her family: herself, her mother and father, and her two brothers James and Will Turner. She got the tattoo on February 21, 2016, which was her 20th birthday, because she was away from her family and wanted a reminder that they are always with her even when they aren’t physically present. She told Just Jared:

It’s like a tally of 5 for my family of 5. I got it when I was really missing them in Canada. It was on my birthday and it was me and one person. We were the only people there. And I was like, “I’m on my birthday and I woke up and my parents aren’t here and my family isn’t here” so I got this. I’m very tight with them. It’s faded in certain parts so I’ve got to get it topped off. It rubs away easier so I try and keep my fingers like this (spreads them out).

Bruna Marquezine

Bruna Marquezine visited artist Adao Rosa’s shop Nautica Tattoo in July 2013 where her gave her a this new tatto of an anchor on her ankle and also touched up her existing tattoos of a heart on her finger and cross on her side.  She chose an anchor to symbolically hold her down.  “The anchor is the latest, and I got it to remember that I have a safe haven and to keep my feet on the ground forever,” she told R7.  There is a little heart on the top of the anchor as a symbol of her family, who are her safe harbor.

Bruna Marquezine

Bruna Marquezine’s first tattoo was a heart on her left ring finger knuckle, where a wedding ring would be worn.

Some fans have speculated that it matches her ex-boyfriend and soccer star Neymar’s ring finger tattoo of a crown, which represents how his future wife will be his queen, but Bruna has said that her tattoo is about love in general and not for any specific person.

In an interview with R7, she explained (translated):

I am very moved by love, always was, and it always has been one of the most important things for me. It’s one of the lessons of my family. My mother always spoke highly of love and God to me. So I made a cross and a heart for it.

She has also tweeted about it’s meaning (translated):

The heart is because I’m in love with hearts! Every paper I take I draw a heart! I really love it. And I chose the finger where I will put my wedding ring! Then one day it will be my heart for love of my life. They say this is the only finger that is directly on the heart, so we use the ring on it! Beautiful is not it?! Love this tattoo.

Demi Lovato

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.

VIII VIII MCMLXII – 8/8/1962 – August 8, 1962 is the birthday of her mother Dianna De La Garza (nee Dianna Lee Smith).

II IV MCMLXXXVIII – 2/4/1988 – February 4, 1988 is for her older sister Dallas Lovato.  She is an actress and voice actress who has had minor roles in a number of movies.

XII XXVIII MMI – 12/27/2001 – December 28, 2001 is the birth date of her younger half-sister Madison De La Garza who is the child of Demi’s mother and her step-father. Madison portrayed Gabrielle Solis’ (Eva Longoria) daughter Juanita Solis on the TV show Desperate Housewives.

II XIV MCMLXIII – 2/14/1963 – February 14, 1963 is for her step-father Eddie De La Garza. He has been a big part of Demi’s life since marrying her mother when Demi was young.

X XXIII MCMLX – 10/23/1960 – October 23, 1960 is for her biological father Patrick Lovato, who died in 2013.  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.
