View this post on Instagram

What: Her latest tattoo that inspired this very thread - an upside down quote from The Truman Show. It says: "in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight!"

 

Thanks to the Ariana Grande Wiki for lots of helpful info when compiling this! Don't let this thread flop because it took ages x

I didn't realise she had quite this many until compiling this :lol: :drama:

 

I voted for:

Crescent Moon

Honeymoon

Babydoll

Female/venus symbol

Bee

Cloud

Chihiro

Eevee

七輪指♡

 

Not sure what my absolute favourite would be, maybe the bee? Just because of the meaning and it looks adorable. I have similar feelings about the Chihiro one as well, I love Ari's reasoning behind that one and it looks cute. The Pokémon fan in me appreciates the Eevee one existing too. Basically up with the cartoons.

I legit didn't even realise she had any! :lol:

:lol: I can understand why tbh, they're covered up a lot (especially the random feet ones) - I only ever seem to notice a couple of her hand ones when she performs! Crazy that in reality there are actually 35 of them to be found.

She got even more :lol:
