Anitta’s tattoos range from tiny symbols to larger pieces tied to music, family and freedom. She spoke about five early tattoos in 2013, but some of that ink has since changed, so older photos don’t always show what she has now.
A key and an open cage with birds give a few of the designs a shared thread. Elsewhere, she has numbers, names and small personal marks that don’t follow one visual theme.
The first five tattoos
In 2013, Anitta spoke about five tattoos: a small finger heart she got with a friend, a treble clef on her shoulder, a feather with the words Love Life, the phrase “amor, respeito, verdade,” and birds flying from an open cage on her back. She also had a key on her arm, which she linked to new doors and opportunities.
The early designs mix music, friendship, a personal motto and a freedom image. The treble clef was later removed; the cage and birds remain part of the story behind the key.
The shoulder treble clef
The shoulder clef was a direct nod to music and one of Anitta’s most visible early tattoos. She later said she had grown tired of it and started laser removal in 2016. By 2018, reports described it as gone, so it’s best treated as part of her past collection rather than current ink.
Old photos still show the design clearly. That can make it easy to mistake a removed tattoo for one she still has.
The key with a heart
The heart-shaped key sits on the back of Anitta’s right arm. She connected it to doors opening in her life. Alongside the birds leaving an open cage, it gives the early group a recurring idea of freedom and opportunity.
The tiny finger heart.
Anitta got the small outline with a friend. It’s easy to miss in a full-body photo, but the shared story gives it meaning beyond its size.
Love Life and the feather.
The words sit in a looping, infinity-like line with a feather. The phrase and image make this one of her more visible pieces, and the feather echoes the lighter, open feel of the cage-and-birds design.
The 8 and 80 tattoos.
Anitta has an 8 and an 80 on opposite legs, forming the Brazilian expression “8 or 80,” used for extremes. The two numbers work as a pair; either one alone would lose the joke.
Names and family ink.
One photo shows the names Renan and Felipe on Anitta’s hip. Other coverage has linked name tattoos to family and a former partner, though the reports don’t always identify each name’s meaning. The hip placement keeps this piece less visible than the tattoos on her arms.
The cage and birds on her back
The older back tattoo shows birds flying away from an open cage. A separate later design has been described as a heart-shaped tree, with branches above and roots below. Anitta also explained an arm tattoo with small figures, a heart and stars as a family-constellation design. She connected it to her family and possible siblings. These are different tattoos, even though some photo captions and summaries group them together.
Small ankle designs.
A close-up shows two small ankle tattoos, including a delicate mark and an alien-like face. Their meanings haven’t been clearly explained, so the designs are easier to describe than interpret.
The hidden red “love” tattoo.
Anitta has said a small red “love” tattoo came from a playful challenge with her father about how much a tattoo would hurt. The artist later discussed the piece publicly. It’s one of the few tattoos in her collection that she has described mainly through the story of how she got it.
Other back and shoulder tattoos
Across her back, shoulders, arms, legs and hands, Anitta’s tattoos include lettering, numbers, names and small symbols. Some meanings come from her own explanations; others are simply visible in photographs. The treble clef is a clear example of why dates matter when comparing those images: she later removed it.
Final take.
Anitta’s collection has changed over time. The key and cage connect freedom with opportunity, while the finger heart, numbers and family designs each have their own story. Looking at the tattoos by date and placement makes more sense than treating every photo as a current inventory.
