Tove Lo
Tove Lo added new ink to her collection of tattoos with this huge lynx on the back of her hand. Lynxes are her favorite animal and “Lo” means “lynx” in her native language Swedish. The singer-songwriter, whose real name is Ebba Tove Elsa Nilsson, explains how the nickname came about in a YouTube vlog:
Basically there was a lynx in a zoo that was named Tova and I fell in love with it as a kid. So after that my family and relatives starting calling me Tove Lo. I think I kind of stuck with that name because I wanted it to be me and at the time I didn’t know anyone else who had the same. So I kept it as a writer and it then it just felt natural to keep it as a solo artist. It feels like my spirit animal just because it’s been one of my favorite animals since I was so little.
She visted artist Alex McWatt, founder of Three Kings Tattoo in New York City, while on tour with Maroon 5 in September 2016. She didn’t think too much about the specific details of the tattoo, but she wanted it on her microphone-holding hand so that it would be very visible.
Most people would stress about where and when and why to get a tattoo because it is for life. I honestly did not think about it too much. I just figured it would be so nice with the little tassels on the ears. And it’s my mic hand so I figured it would look cool. (more…)

Cheryl Cole
Cheryl, who’s maiden name is Cheryl Tweedy, got this “Mrs C” tattoo on the back of her neck after getting married to football player Ashley Cole in 2006 and changing her last name to Cole. Unfortunately the couple were divorced in 2010. She told The Guardian that she does not plan to remove this tattoo, saying “I’m not ashamed of anything. I’ve got nothing to rub away.”
She did not immediately change her name either, adding “I don’t feel sentimental about the name. If I went back to being Cheryl Tweedy, I’d be… I’m not ashamed of my marriage, it’s a period in my life. And I am Cheryl Cole. That’s how I feel.” However she took on the name Cheryl Fernandez-Versini after marrying Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini in July 2014.

Amanda Seyfried
Amanda Seyfried and two of her friends and co-stars have matching “minge” tattoos on their feet. To her minge just a funny nickname, even her instagram handle is @mingey. But it’s a very vulgar slang term in the UK, describing a woman’s hairy labia.
The joke originated on the set of the 2008 film Mama Mia! Actor Colin Firth would say “minge” and Amanda, being American, didn’t know what it meant. British actress Rachel McDowall had to explain it to her. Rachel has a bunch of tattoos but Amanda had never gotten one before and was curious what it was like. So she got the matching “minge” tattoos with Rachel and a third Mama Mia! actress Ashley Lilley. The three of them got to be very close during the filming of the movie. She told Seth Meyers:
We’re best friends, my girlfriends Rachel and Ashley. We got “minge” tattooed on our feet. It’s a term of endearment and in England it means ‘vagina.’ But in the U.S., where I spend most of my time, it just doesn’t mean anything. So we commemorated our friendship with “minge” tattoos.
It turns out she’s not so into tattoos and probably won’t get another, at least not on her own. She told 5 News:
I didn’t really love the experience — I liked the bonding experience I had with my girlfriends.
However she loves the resulting tattoo and told Chelsea Handler:
It’s to make me laugh, and every time I look at it, I do.
People in England aren’t so amused. When she first got the tattoo she would cover it up with makeup when coming to the country. Describing the reactions that she gets to the vulgar ink while in the UK, she says:
They roll their eyes, it’s always a judgement. Which is fine. It’s fine because it means so much more to me than vagina.
