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).
Adele has added to the collection of tattoos on her wrist on three separate occasions. First were the three dots which she got as a matching tattoo with Joy Williams from the indie-folk duo The Civil Wars.
Next she visited artist Tanja Nixx who gave her a mimimalist coin design which is the largest of the tattoos on this wrist. It is a simple circle with an outline of a heart and the words “ONE PENNY” for her mother Penny Adkins.
Most recently, she added a date inside of the coin. The numbers are hard to read, but it is thought to say “1921” for her first two albums 19 and 21, which are both named after her age at the time.
Bruna Marquezine’s second tattoo was a simple black cross on her left side, which is a tribute to her Christian faith. “The cross is because I have faith in God. I love it, and I like to look at it and to remember Him and how wonderful He is to me,” she tweeted. It’s also a reminder of her mother, who taught her to believe in God. “My mother always spoke highly of love and God to me,” she says. She had the tattoo re-done by artist Adao Rosa at Nautica Tattoo in July 2013 while getting a new tattoo of an anchor on her ankle. (more…)

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.
Kreayshawn has two knives on her right forearm. Her mother’s name “Elka” is written below her elbow. Elka Zolot was the guitarist of punk band The Trashwomen. She had Kreayshawn at a young age and raised her as a single mother.
Lights has a lion on her left elbow. She has a song called “Lions” and admires them as an animal. “I’ve always thought lions were the epitome of beauty and strength and power,” she says.
Lions are also tied to memories of her childhood. “My mom used to sit there in bed and read us the Narnia series growing up. And Aslan [the lion character in the books] represented something really great. It’s just kinda grace and power all in one.”
Rather than covering the old black ink heart and banner tattoo on her left forearm, Lights had it incorporated into a large and colorful new tattoo. It is a coat of arms which she designed to represents different aspects of her life. On the left side of the shield is Jesus’ name in Hebrew and and on the right side are the initials “EPVP” for her parents’ names Eric Poxleitner and Virginia Poxleitner. Planets, a raygun, and music notes reflect her outer space alter-ego Captain Lights. A lion and a griffin are on the sides crushing a dragon on the bottom.
Yasmine has a tattoo on her right index finger with the date “3-19-12” or March 19, 2012. Her mother got into a car accident on this day and nearly died. She tweeted “thankful my ma is alright. she got in a really bad accident today and the paramedics said that her seatbelt saved her life. BUCKLE UP, FOOLS”
