Amber Rose got a tattoo on her right forearm in December 2015 of an open mouth blowing smoke and biting a cigarette. It blends in with the lipstick tattoo that she got from the same artist in a previous session.
Amber Rose added this tattoo of a tube of lipstick to her right arm sleeve in July 2015. A few months later she added a pair of lips above it, which seems to have been part of the plan all along.
In July 2017, Lena Dunham got a heart tattoo on her inner right inspired by New York doll artist Greer Lankton. The “Love Me” heart design appears on the chest of one of Lankton’s dolls. Lena showed off the new ink on her instagram, writing:
“So I cry, I pray and I beg… Greer Lankton’s last act on earth was this heart. These words were her mantra.”
Lankton used her own body image issues as the inspiration for her doll sculptures. The artist underwent gender confirmation surgery at the age of 21 and struggled with anorexia throughout her life. The personal nature of her art is what makes it so meaningful to Lena Dunham, who first saw Lankton’s work as a child. She told AnOther:
“I think Greer’s conflicted emotions about transitioning helped make her work just so emotionally resonant. We all feel that sense of being lost in and betrayed by our own bodies. She made it into poetry.”
Lena Dunham covered up the old “Staunch” tattoo on her right wrist with this ornamental cross-shaped design in early 2017.
This tattoo of a rose on Lena Dunham’s right thigh is the second inking which she got in quick succession in June 2017. She shared some pictures of the new rose and the Kewpie dolls on her hip on her instagram story, writing:
“Been tatting myself up like crazy this month. These Kewpies have been on me a few weeks. I think it gives me a sense of control and ownership of a body that’s often beyond my control.”
She suffers from endometriosis and has undergone many surgeries to keep the condition in check. She announced that she was disease-free in April 2017 following her fifth surgery, but unfortunately the disease had spread and she was rushed to the hospital for immediate surgery the following month.
Lena Dunham has a tattoo on her right hip of two mermaid-tailed Kewpie dolls scooping a bucket of tears. This drawing is one of the many cartons by Kewpie illustrator Rose O’Neill. It was tattooed on Lena’s hip by Robert Bonhomme in June 2017.
Zoe Kravitz has a tattoo on her right forearm of two black handprints — a traditional symbol of protection — with little dots and designs for decoration.
