Halsey got this Star Wars inspired tattoo from artist Darci Munster in August 2013. It is the face of the fictional creature Mythosaur and it’s also the emblem of the Mandalorians in the Star Wars universe. In a tweet a few months before getting the tattoo, Halsey wrote “I just love Star Wars so much it makes me emotional. Padme is crying I can’t do this. I’ve seen it 472953 times and I’m still not ready.” The tattoo is on her right elbow.
Kelly Clarkson has a tattoo of puzzle pieces on the right side of her upper back. The flesh tone puzzle piece is pulled away to display a scene inspired by The Wizard of Oz. She told Gay Times:
“How it is on me is, it’s like you’ve removed the top layer of me and you can see inside. So inside the puzzle piece is this little tornado with a golden brick road and a hot air balloon, a kind of Wizard of Oz theme. It’s like you peek inside. It’s a very dark tattoo actually, it was a childhood thing I loved but also it worked for my life at the time. I feel like when I got this tattoo, I don’t even know how many years ago, I felt no matter how hard I clicked I just couldn’t find a home. And by home, I just mean I’ve always longed for a family. A solid family foundation and I just hadn’t had that.”
She might not remember when she got it done, but we do! She got inked at
All I Ever Wanted TourBunny Meyer (grav3yardgirl on YouTube) got her first tattoo in December 2010. It’s on the inside of her left wrist/forearm and it says “Real Horrorshow.” This phrases comes from the movie A Clockwork Orange which one of her two all-time favorite movies (the other is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas). It also has a deep personal meaning.
In a YouTube video, Bunny explained “They speak a special language in that movie which is kind of like slang, like from Russian slang, and it’s called Nadsat. ‘Real Horrowshow’ is a codeword for something good or something awesome. I was going through some really rough stuff in 2010. I was in and out of the hospital a lot. I had gotten into a really bad car accident and broke my hand. So I got this tattoo kind of in homage of feeling good, feeling better. It has a lot of symbolism for me.”
Chrisette Michele has a portrait of Audrey Hepburn from her iconic role as Holly Golightly in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. She later updated the tattoo to include a baroque-style frame.
Chrisette was so enamored with Audrey that she released a mixtape entitled “Audrey Hepburn: An Audiovisual Presentation” in 2012. She explained “I was in love with her movies and her humanitarian efforts. I was in love with her style, I was in love with her whole entire vibe which really spoke to me. My mom had always sung her songs when I was young. So I just wanted to capture whatever I could of Audrey Hepburn for myself.”
