Monica Brown
Monica used to have the word “knot” above the portrait of Jesus on her upper left arm. “Knot” is the nickname of her boyfriend Jarvis Weems and she got this tattoo as a memorial to him after he died by suicide in 2000. A few years later, she covered up his name with a flower over each letter.
His passing caused a major upheaval in her life. She felt unable to work and took a hiatus from her music career in order to heal. She cared for his daughter during that time and considered the young girl “the best therapy.”
The death was all the more traumatic because she witnessed it firsthand. She and Knot were visiting the grave site of his brother, who had died in a car accident two years earlier, when he pulled out a gun and shot himself in the head. “Someone passing is very different than seeing someone take their life, or if you’re there when someone else has taken their life. I think those situations make me the person I am today,” she told MTV. “People would never expect some of the things I’ve experienced and some of the things I’m not shy to talk about.”

Miley Cyrus
In July 2015, Miley Cyrus got friendship tattoos with Katy Weaver. The pair had a few matching tattoos already, so this time they got their nicknames for each other. Miley got a tattoo on the back of her left upper arm which says “KATZ” as a play on Katy’s name. Katy’s tattoo is on her right forearm and has her pet name for Miley: “MEOWTZ.” Miley placed her tattoo close to her “BIEWTY” tattoo which is another nickname for another friend, Cheyne Thomas. Both tattoos have the same style of simple capital letters.
At some point Miley decided “KATZ” just wasn’t cutesy enough for her and added a “Y” to the end so that now it says “KATZY.”
