Zara Larsson has described her tattoos through the people and work attached to them. The clearest examples are matching dolphins linked to a high-school friend, “Lush Life” shared with bandmates, and an H for her sister Hannah.
Zara Larsson’s Dolphin Tattoos
Body Art Guru places a pair of dolphins on Larsson’s right ankle and says they match a high-school friend’s tattoo. Photos show small black outlines in side profile, with curved backs, pointed snouts and raised tails.
The linework uses little shading; small marks define the dolphins’ faces and fins. The pair stays light and compact, without a larger scene around it.
The Dolphin Tattoo Pair on the Ankles
A 2016 event photo shows Larsson with an inset of the ankle designs. Other photos sometimes show the dolphins together as a mirrored set. Shoes and hems can hide them; swimwear, short dresses or seated poses can reveal them. The photos don’t establish a larger leg design.
The Lush Life Arm Tattoo
In a 2024 Audacy conversation, Larsson said “Lush Life” on her arm was one of her first tattoos. Her bandmates have the phrase in different placements. She tied it to the song that changed the scale of her career and to the travel that followed its success.
The H Ribcage Tattoo
The Associated Press identified an H on Larsson’s ribcage as a tattoo for her sister Hannah in its review of Venus. The initial carries a family reference in a small, private placement.
The Venus album artwork recreates Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus and exposes the ribcage, making the letter visible. The AP connects the H to Hannah; the reporting doesn’t give it another meaning.
Matching Tattoo Bonds
Larsson has talked about matching ink as a way to keep shared experiences in view. The dolphins connect her with a school friend, while the same song title appears on bandmates in different places. The common thread is the relationship behind each tattoo, not a single design or placement.
The Musical Timeline
These records place the tattoo stories in different parts of Larsson’s public life, but they don’t date every application. The dolphins are visible in a 2016 event photo; Audacy later records her account of “Lush Life,” and the H appears in coverage of Venus.
The Documented Record
Body Art Guru describes the matching ankle dolphins, Audacy records Larsson’s explanation of “Lush Life,” and the Associated Press identifies the ribcage H for Hannah. The photos add placement and appearance; the sources leave other tattoos unidentified.
