Acacia Brinley added many different types of flowers to her left forearm in October 2015 to create a half-sleeve. The shaded flowers are her original tattoo, which she has had since May 2014, which the outlines are all part of the new addition.
Acacia Brinley got this tattoo of a human heart pierced by three daggers as part of a major session with artist Romeo Lacoste in October 2015. After he finished this tattoo on the back of her forearm he surrounded it with flowers to connect it to the rest of her half-sleeve.
Acacia Brinley and her boyfriend Jairus Kersey got matching ring finger knuckle tattoos in August 2015. Hers is a crescent moon and his is the sun.
In August 2015 Acacia Brinley got a tattoo on her arm to represent staying positive even when things don’t go as planned. It says “The Show Must Go Wrong” which is a quote from Chris Pratt’s character Andy Dwyer in the television series Parks and Recreation, Acacia’s favorite show.
She explains: “As most of you would know, I have a very unhealthy obsession with the TV show ‘Parks and Recreation’. That show has made me laugh in the saddest of times for the past 4-5 years. Its always been the thing I turn to and it means the whole world to me. I have never felt this way about another object that isn’t human. So, I took one of my favorite lines and it got it tattooed in a place I will often see it. ‘The show must go wrong.’ Other than being a line from my favorite tv show said by one of my favorite characters, it symbolizes all the hardship I’ve been dealing with for past several years. The line after this one is ‘everything always goes wrong and you just have to deal with it’. Life can be (more than) rough sometimes and you really have to keep pushing through because (forgive me for being cheesy but) things get better and I really wanted to be reminded of that on a consistent basis. If you’re ever looking for a new show to watch, I promise you Park&Rec will not disappoint you. There’s 6 seasons on Netflix! LOVE YOU GUYS!”
Sarah Hyland got this tattoo of a hummingbird behind her ear in November 2014 from artist Dr Woo. She explained its meaning in an instagram post: “The hummingbird, though it be but little, can travel great distances. It is a carrier of joy and lightness of being. Independent and resilient; the hummingbird lifts negative energy from your life and shows you the perfect combination of playfulness and endurance. Thank you @dr_woo_ssc for giving me this little guy to always remind me that (and whisper sweet nothings in to my ear)”
Chantel Jeffries has a geometric tattoo on her upper back. The outside edge is made of overlapping triangles forming a solid black line, while the shaded dotwork interior is comprised of overlapping circles.
Both shapes are rooted in sacred geometry, the idea that certain shaped have divine meaning. The design of seven overlapping circles in a triangular lattice grid dates back thousands of years and can be seen in architecture from ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. In modern times it has become known as the Flower of Life.
The outline of her tattoo is a Sri Yantra, a symbol which can be found in Hindu temples. The traditional symbol is made of 9 triangles in various shapes and sizes which intersect to form 43 smaller triangles. Together they represent the totality of the cosmos and the human body. Chantel’s tattoo shows only the outer edges of the shape, so some of the interior triangles aren’t shown at all in her version.
Not all Sri Yantras share the same angles, and modern day researches have put a lot of effort in to coming up with an optimal version of the symbol. The design that Chantel used has plotted to placement of the triangles based on the Flower of Life — so the two symbols in her tattoo are actually connected to each other!
Chantel Jeffries has a tattoo on her right wrist of a queen playing piece from the game of chess. The queen piece represents power and independence. She encouraged her followers to forge their own paths by tweeting “Never be the pawn in anyone’s game. You are a queen. The most powerful piece in the game.”
Chantel Jeffries’s collarbone tattoo says “Je t’aime” which is a French phrase meaning “I love you.” She got this tattoo as a memorial for her grandmother. She explained on her Tumblr:
Well it says “i love you” in french. I got it for my grandma, who was french, so she can look down from heaven and see that I love her!
Chantel Jeffries’ hip tattoo says “Noir,” the French word for “black.” It means more than just a color. “Noir: black, dark, dreary, mysterious, raven,” she wrote in an instagram post.
Though perhaps unintentionally, the tattoo also pays homage two of her ethnicities: she is both Black and French (Creole) as well as Native American, Irish, and Italian.
When she got this tattoo in May 2014 she knew what word she wanted but hadn’t decided where to put it on her body. On May 4th she tweeted “Hint: my next tat is French & very descriptive of myself” then on the 9th she wrote “Idk where to get my small one word tattoo on me and @RomeoLacoste is on his way to do it!”
She ended up getting it on the side of her left hip in a vintage-inspired typewriter font.
Chantel Jeffries has Hebrew writing tattooed on her right side which is deeply meaningful to her.
“I got my tattoo in hebrew because of the meaning of what it says. Besides EVERYONE has arabic… Ill pass on that,” she tweeted.
We know that it is a religious message as the last word clearly says God. That’s the word on the left, since Hebrew is read right to left: אלוהים which is pronounced Elohim.
Our best guess is that the tattoo is meant to say “Jesus is God.”
The beginning of the tattoo is where things are unclear. We believe it says “ליעס הוא אלוהים“. This could be read in a way that the first word sounds a little like Jesus (though it’s more like Lias). However Jesus’s name in Hebrew in actually Yeshua (יֵשׁוּעַ) — Hebrew doesn’t have a J sound.
If any Hebrew speakers can make better sense of it, please leave a comment below.
