Alessia Cara got a band-aid tattoo on the back of her upper left arm in June 2018. The band-aid relates to her new music and seems to be a symbol of this album cycle, as she added a band-aid to her beanie girl logo. The lead single “Growing Pains” from her upcoming sophomore album includes the lyrics “No band-aids for the growing pains.” There may be other references as well–we’ll have to wait and see!

These lines come from the spoken word poem “To This Day” by author Shane Koyczan which is about the long-term effects of bullying.

On her right thigh, Juliet has some of her own lyrics. It says “Anticipation is killing me when butterflies have knives cutting up my insides,” which comes from an unreleased Automatic Loveletter song called “Someday.” The letters are stacked vertically and after the last words are the Japanese symbols for love and pain in red ink. Juliet jokes that the top symbol looks like a drunk smiley face.
