Noah Cyrus got this “RIDE OR CRY” tattoo on her arm in August 2018 which is a play on the phrase “ride or die.” She has been playing up her “sad girl” persona recently in anticipation of her first headlining tour which is called The Good Cry Tour. “I can’t wait for [my fans] to come experience this sad girl’s dream world,” she says. “We’re either gonna dance or cry the night away.”
Noah Cyrus has a tattoo on her right wrist of a cartoon hand making the “rock on” hand symbol. The sign of the horns started out in the heavy metal subculture but is now used at many genres of concerts.
This sad little smiley face is one of four tattoos that Noah Cyrus got during a single session with artist Dakota Gomez in August 2018. She already had a similar tattoo on her wrist featuring a happy face with X’s for eyes. This time she got a frowning face with a tear drop below its eye.
Noah’s own sadness comes through in the new music that she’s been writing. She told Access:
I wanted to let people see where I am in my life right now as a person. Like how I deal with hella anxiety, and I get depression, and I get upset, and I have feelings, and I’m alone on tour sometimes, and I’m sad.
Noah Cyrus got a broken heart tattoo with her boyfriend Lil Xan in August 2018. The tattoo seems to be a nod to their relationship, either personally or professionally. The pair have been collaborating on some music which will be released soon. Heartbreak and sadness are likely to be the themes of whatever they’re written together.
Lil Xan has two broken heart tattoos of his own which look just like Noah’s, although he had his first. He has one broken heart on his face beneath his mom’s name “Candy.” He later added the word “Soldier” underneath in honor of his song “Hearbreak Soldier” as well as the mixtape and tour of the same name. His second broken heart tattoo is on the back of his right hand along with the bible verse Romans 12:21 “do not be overcome by evil,” his birth year “96,” and “No Rulez” for the No Rulez Recording Studio where he recorded his parts of his debut album Total Xanarchy.
The couple went to the tattoo parlor together. Noah got her broken heart and three other small tattoos while Lil Xan got a huge “Xanarchy” tattoo on his arm.
Charlotte Crosby has the name “Joshua” tattooed on the back of her neck for her boyfriend Joshua Ritchie. She started the Ex on the Beach star some time around December 2017 and got this tattoo in August 2018, less than a year into the relationship.
She has already laser removed tattoos for two ex-boyfriends so there were lots of critical comments when she showed off the tattoo on her instagram, but she’s got a sense of humor about things and had sassy comebacks for all of the negativity. She joked that she “chose the thin line work thinking ahead” to the inevitable laser removal but also wrote that she’s “got a good feeling about this one” and “I think 3rd times a charm.”
The removed tattoos were a fish for Stephen Bear and an initial “M” with arrows for Mitch Jenkins. “Technicallyyyyyyy this is the first boys name I’ve had on me, that’s just if were beingggggg technicallll here,” she commented.
Her Joshua tattoo was inked by artist Melina Wendlandt at her studio Vaders.Dye in Berlin, Germany using the artist’s own delicate handwriting.
LIGHTS has a tattoo at the center of her chest featuring a butterfly inside of a cameo-style frame.
Butterflies appear a few times in LIGHTS’ Skin&Earth comic book series, and most importantly a butterfly leads her character En through the woods to an important discovery.
Bernice Burgos has a tattoo with the word “Queen” on her left middle finger.
Before her album and accompanying comic book series Skin&Earth was even released to the public, LIGHTS has already gotten a tattoo on the back of her wrist matching the one on the character Enaia Jin (“En”), who she based on herself. But fans kept getting introduced to more new characters in the Skin& Earth universe with every subsequent issue.
LIGHTS added another tattoo featuring three different logos on her upper left arm after all six volumes had been released and the whole story was revealed. The design and the placement of this tattoo matches characters in the story, just as the tattoo on her wrist did. The mysterious goddess Mitsuki has these three symbols on her arm and she marks En with them as well. The meaning of the symbols is explained by Mitsuki in Issue #6:
“She marked my arm with three symbols: a moon, a soul, and a sun, to remind me of the true order of life. We are born, we live, then we die and give back, skin and earth once again as one.”
Although En is an embodiment of LIGHTS, she jokes that her own look is based on the character rather than the other way around and that she’s cosplaying every day.
Alexandra Shipp has a small tattoo behind her left ear.
LIGHTS and several members of her crew got matching tattoos on March 5,2018 during her We Were Here Tour. Artist Scott Sonner inked them at Divine Machine Tattoo in Buffalo, NY during a day off in the middle of the tour.
She has tattoos for many of her albums, but had never gotten a tattoo specifically for a tour until this one. However this tour was especially meaningful. Following the final show on April 8th she wrote: “That’s a wrap on #WeWereHereTour holy shit the best tour of my life, I love you all more than I can explain. I love my crew and band and am so proud of the last two and half months!”
The red gas can tattoos are inspired by the “We Were Here” music video and issue #4 of the Skin&Earth comic book, which both tell the same story. LIGHTS’ character Enaia Jin carries around a gas can from out of a gas station convenience store and eventually uses it to light a truck on fire. The gas can in their tattoo is embellished with the logo for LIGHTS’ Skin&Earth album. This exact design appears on the We Were Here tour t-shirts. Interestingly, the gas can in the video and comic has a different logo featuring a bird and an oil rig.
