Memorial Tattoos

Becky G

Becky G got a dragonfly tattoo on the left side of her ribs in September 2016. The delicate but intricate inking shows artist Doctor Woo’s signature style. She loves his work but had a hard time scheduling a session with the in-demand artist. “Just waiting for an opening with the tattoo artist I’ve wanted it from forever,” she tweeted.

The dragonfly represents the spirit of her deceased cousin Ceci, who was six years older than Becky and passed away when Becky was only three. She opened up about her cousin on E!’s Hollywood Medium with Tyler Henry, describing how one of the hardest times in her life was when her family lost their house when she was nine. “That’s when I turned to who I consider my guardian angel til this day. I lost her when I was really young. She was around the same age. She was just always with me, still after she passed away. She was with me, I could see her and I could feel her.” She had a framed photograph of cousin Ceci on her nightstand in that house and it’s one of the only things that she kept from that bedroom.

“If you look at the frame it has dragonflies on it, and I’ve always connected her to dragonflies. Just the other day I was on stage and I was about to perform in front of like 50,000 people and there was a dragonfly circling around me. I got very overwhelmed with emotions because I was very — I was at my limit, I was exhausted, I didn’t want to continue. And the dragonfly kind of just changed everything.”

Florence Welch and tattoo artist Miso have matching “V” tattoos on the outsides of their pinkie fingers as a tribute to artist Vali Myers, who died in 2003.

Maggie Lindemann

Maggie Lindemann tattooed the initials “CCH” on the inside of her left wrist in memory of an ex-boyfriend who passed away.  Cameron Cole Hudson was someone whom Maggie dated back in Texas before moving to Los Angeles to pursue her career.  Even though they were broken up before his tragic passing, he still holds a special place in Maggie’s heart. In a tweet she described him as the “only guy I’ll never lose feelings for” and said “I love you forever and always.”

Cameron was severely injured in a campfire accident on November 25, 2014, with burns on 90% of his body. Despite initial projections that he would not even survive for 24 hours, he managed to hold on until February 28, 2015, when he succumbed to his injuries. He was only 18 years old when he died. From his obituary:

“He will be remembered and missed immensely by the family and friends he loved so much. With his very first breath, Cameron charmed everyone with his friendly, outgoing, caring, kind and loving nature. Just a little on the mischievous side, he had an amazingly beautiful smile; and he was not afraid to use it! With his free spirit and adventuresome attitude, he lived life to the fullest! He loved anything with an engine, always looking for ways to make it bigger and faster. The memories of Cameron and the joy of his life will never be forgotten.”

Maggie got her commemorative tattoo from artist Romeo Lacoste on May 29, 2016, along with a music note next to it.

Maggie Lindemann

Maggie Lindemann wasted no time in going in for tattoo number two.  On May 9th 2016 – only four days after her first — she got this tattoo on her left forearm which says “always” in lowercase cursive letters. This tattoo is one of two which are dedicated to her ex-boyfriend Cameron Cole Hudson who passed away in a fire.

Maggie started drama in a now-deleted tweet in which she accused fellow internet star Arzaylea of copying this tattoo.  Thought it isn’t all that unique of a design, Arzaylea got a similar “always” tattoo only a day later.

Demi Lovato

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. ???”
