Bella Thorne’s tattoos show up in different places and sizes: a number on her forearm, words on her calves, cats, hearts, and smaller marks on her hands and feet. Some have a story Thorne has shared herself; others are easier to describe than to explain. This guide sticks to designs shown clearly or discussed in public, and leaves uncertain meanings open.
Bella Thorne’s 93 tattoo sits on her forearm
The number 93 is on Thorne’s forearm. It isn’t her birth year; she was born in 1997. Early coverage suggested the number might refer to her sister Dani, born in 1993, but Thorne hasn’t confirmed that. In sleeveless photos, the small lettering is easy to spot. The number is one of the easier designs to identify. Its exact meaning is less certain than its placement.
The “Wild Kitty” lettering sits on both calves
“WILD” and “KITTY” are written on the backs of Thorne’s calves, one word on each. They are lettering tattoos, not an image of a cat. The words are easier to see when her legs are bare, and they fit with the cat imagery elsewhere in her collection. Thorne didn’t give an explanation for choosing them when she first shared the tattoos.
Bella has whiskers on a finger
Thorne also has cat whiskers on her index finger; some close-ups show a small nose beside them. The fine lines can disappear in a regular event photo and look different depending on the angle. She hasn’t given a reliable public explanation for the design, so the clearest account is what it looks like.
The heart on Bella Thorne’s palm
Thorne has talked about the heart tattoo on her palm, including the need to retouch it and cover it for camera work. That gives this design a firmer public record than pieces identified only in fan photos. A small outline on the palm can soften with time and everyday use; the heart is still recognizable in the available images.
There is another heart on her chest or shoulder area
Thorne has also described a small heart on her shoulder as a design she found on Tumblr. Photos don’t always make its exact position clear, so coverage places it around the chest or shoulder. Its origin is casual: she liked the image and got it tattooed. The shape echoes the heart on her palm, though the two tattoos sit in different places.
Her B2 wrist tattoo is a personal mark
The B2 tattoo is on the inside of Thorne’s wrist. She has said it matches a tattoo worn by her best friend Bella Pendergast. The design is small and easy to cover with a sleeve or bracelet, but its connection is clear from Thorne’s own account.
The star tattoo is for her sister
Thorne has a small star tattoo on her foot and has said it is for her sister. Shoes and socks often hide it; when it appears in a photo, the outline is simple and light. It is one of the collection’s smaller pieces, with a personal connection Thorne has explained.
The cat behind her ear is easy to miss
A small cat tattoo sits behind Thorne’s ear. Hair down can hide it completely; when her hair is pulled back, the placement shows. She has said she got cats because she loves them, and that she added another one later. The ear tattoo and the words on her calves are different designs, but both sit within the cat motif that appears in her collection.
Why Bella’s style feels so varied
The collection moves between a number, calf lettering, cats, hearts, a star and tiny hand details. It doesn’t follow one strict style. Some pieces have a story Thorne has shared, like the heart she found on Tumblr or the star for her sister; others are only clearly visible in photos. When an image is blurry, shadow, makeup or jewelry can be mistaken for ink, so this account stays with tattoos that have been shown clearly or discussed publicly.

Watch Bella talk about her style and tattoos
In WIRED’s interview, Thorne answers questions about herself and mentions having a tattoo gun. It isn’t a full tattoo tour, but it offers a little context for how she talks about tattoos and personal style.
