A 2018 Vogue profile counted 55 tattoos and said King got her first at 14. She named an AC/DC reference, a tattoo for her childhood dog Ivy, and a winged $100 bill with “I’m here to win,” which she linked to her love of gambling. Photos show other pieces too: a neck snake, a knife through a heart on her chest, flowers, lettering, playing cards and small hand designs.

The collection moves between family, music, jokes and old-school imagery. The pieces don’t share one style, and they don’t have to.

Elle King’s snake neck tattoo is the piece people notice first

The snake runs down the front of King’s neck, with small star-like marks around it. Its dark outline stays clear in the red-carpet photo, while the smaller shapes break up the space around the main design.

Front-of-neck ink stays visible as you turn or speak, so the vertical shape has to work with a narrow, moving area.

Her knife-through-heart chest tattoo has an old-school feel

King’s chest piece shows a knife through a heart, with a banner across the design. Earlier reports linked the banner to her then-fiancé’s name. The image follows a familiar flash layout: the heart, blade and lettering each have a clear place.

A low neckline reveals the full tattoo; a T-shirt hides most of it. If you’re considering a partner’s name, think about whether you want that detail fixed in the design or would rather leave the image open to other meanings over time.

Elle King’s arms mix flowers, lettering, and odd little pictures

King’s arms hold flowers, script, small objects and darker illustrative designs. They sit as separate pieces rather than one continuous sleeve, with open skin between some of them. The event photo sets black and grey ink against a patterned dress, making the mix of shapes easy to see.

For patchwork, spacing matters as much as the images. Pick the larger pieces first and leave room for smaller ideas later; you don’t need to fill every gap at once.

Her neck and face details make the larger pieces feel sharper

In a close portrait, the snake and small star marks sit alongside King’s nose ring, makeup and layered jewelry. The surrounding styling changes how bold the ink looks; eyeliner, lighting and clothing can all affect its contrast.

Small marks near the face are difficult to hide. If you’re considering one, try the position with makeup and look at it in several kinds of light before choosing a permanent size.

Her hand tattoos are where the collection gets especially personal

King’s fingers and the backs of her hands show small lines, symbols, lettering and illustrative shapes. The marks come into view whenever she holds a microphone or reaches for something.

Hand skin moves and gets more everyday wear than many other placements. Keep small designs readable, and ask an artist which fine lines may soften as the ink heals. Short lettering and simple symbols stay easier to read on the fingers than an illustration packed with tiny details.

Bishop Briggs’ first tattoo was a snarling mountain lion from a medicine-card image she said kept appearing to her. She chose it for its association with leadership. A week later, during a difficult stretch, she impulsively added a crying heart-shaped face. The contrast still fits a collection that moves between deliberate references and spur-of-the-moment ideas.

Across her neck and arms are words, flowers, eyes, animal designs and smaller pictures, including a cherub and a skull-and-crossbones. The pieces don’t follow one strict style.

Bishop Briggs’ POWER neck tattoo makes a small word feel huge

The word POWER runs vertically along the side of Briggs’ neck, near a floral tattoo. She has another short word, WORLD, in the same area. They read as separate thoughts rather than one long sentence, and the narrow lettering follows the shape of her neck.

Her arms are a patchwork of eyes, animals, flowers, and small symbols

The forearms mix dark illustrations, small lettering, eyes, animal shapes, flowers and marks tucked between larger designs. Briggs has mentioned having several pairs of eyes on her arm. In a close photo they sit among the other pieces, not as a single sleeve image.

Different sizes help the patchwork stay readable. The larger designs hold their shape, while the smaller ones fill some of the gaps; the open skin between them keeps the arm from becoming one dark field.

Briggs’ colourful arm pieces sit beside darker black ink

One photo shows a large rose and leaves across Briggs’ upper arm. The petals bring in red and blue, against nearby black-and-grey designs. That bright section stands apart without turning the whole arm into a colour sleeve.

The floral image is familiar, but its scale and shading give it a heavier feel than a small, delicate rose. The surrounding dark work changes how it reads, so the colour becomes one part of a larger mix.

The hand and wrist tattoos are small, but they change the whole look

Briggs’ hands and wrists carry lettering, small symbols and illustrative shapes. The short phrase BECAUSE I’M FREE is visible on her hand; it takes little space but reads clearly. The ink shows in performance photos whenever her hands come up near the microphone or her face.

Hand tattoos get regular washing, sun and friction, and the skin moves constantly. Fine details can soften, so short lettering and clear shapes tend to hold up better than a crowded design.

The skull, shark tooth, and creature tattoos give the collection its edge

Briggs has said there’s usually some kind of creature on her mind. Her collection includes the mountain lion, a shark tooth, an owl, a tarantula, a moth and a dragon, alongside the skull-and-crossbones.

The skull came from a drawing her father made in a small travel encyclopedia, beside Led Zeppelin lyrics he had written there. Briggs had the image copied with its little imperfections; she said it reminds her of her father and the fearlessness she wanted to share with him.

She has described the shark tooth as a reminder to keep fighting for her dreams. The dragon carries a related but distinct idea: she wanted a reminder of power, and liked the image of a creature holding its fire until danger or protection called for it.

Mothica’s tattoos include a right-arm sleeve, a snake across her torso, lettering tied to her music and a back piece inspired by a painting. In interviews, she has explained the stories behind several of them. Her comments give context to the designs without requiring a guess at the meaning of every mark.

The sleeve tattoo mixes motion and structure

Mothica has said her right sleeve was done by Ian Healy. It includes a hawk in flight with an arrow through it, a ram skull and a fern leaf. The motifs move between an animal in motion, a skull and a plant; together, they cover much of the arm without becoming one uninterrupted image.

She has singled out this sleeve as a favorite, praising Healy’s work. The photograph shows how the different pieces sit together along the arm.

The snake tattoo turns her torso into a canvas

A red-lit Kerrang portrait shows a snake running across Mothica’s side and midriff. Its long curve follows the torso, making it look different from the separate images on her arm. The photo shows the placement, but doesn’t establish a meaning for the snake.

The full-arm tattoo coverage is the loudest part

The Wonderland portrait shows Mothica’s chest and both arms in one frame. With her arms crossed, you can see how much of her upper body is tattooed, and how the individual forms overlap in the photograph. The image is useful for seeing the overall coverage; close views make the separate designs easier to distinguish.

Chest tattoos and the spaces between pieces

The PM Studio portrait gives a front-facing view of the chest and forearm tattoos. From this angle, the chest pieces sit between the arm work, while the forearm designs remain distinct from the heavier coverage above them. The photo shows where the tattoos sit, though it doesn’t identify every image or explain its meaning.

The visible words in Mothica’s tattoo collection

In a 2020 interview with Inked, Mothica said the words on her body are titles of songs she has released or still has in progress. She named “chaos,” “VICES,” “heavy heart” and “NOW.”

She also has “forever fifteen” on her wrist. Mothica said the phrase recalls her first suicide attempt at 15 and reminds her to be strong for her younger self. She told Inked that three moths swarming a lamppost inspired the name Mothica.

Why the details feel personal

Mothica’s first tattoo was a geometric cube on the back of her neck. She told Inked that she was interested in minimalism and architecture at the time.

The back piece draws on the painting Lucretia. Mothica described the tattoo as a woman stabbing herself, cradled by Death in the form of a skeleton and surrounded by flowers. She said she saw her own experience with self-harm in Lucretia’s story and wanted the tattoo to reflect that. The meaning comes from her explanation, rather than from the image alone.

What makes the collection work

Mothica’s tattoos range from the hawk, skull and fern on her sleeve to lettering and a large scene across her back. Some are connected to her songs or personal history because she has explained them herself; the photographs show the rest of the collection without filling in details she hasn’t confirmed.

Julien Baker’s tattoos point to music, Memphis, a cicada sound she missed while touring, and a book she kept returning to. She has explained several of them in interviews; the sections below keep those accounts separate from what the photos show.

The two foxes on her left arm

The two foxes on Baker’s left arm face each other, their tails catching together. She told Mikiki the design was inspired by lyrics from Every Time I Die. In the same interview, she said she had also turned mewithoutYou lyrics into images after deciding she didn’t want her body covered in words; that was a separate reference, not the source she gave for the foxes.

The mockingbird and Baker’s arm collection

Baker identified the bird on her right arm as a mockingbird, familiar in Memphis, her hometown. Performance photos show larger animal shapes alongside smaller marks, linework and lettering, though stage shots don’t make every piece easy to identify.

The cicada tattoo came from life on the road

Baker told The Boston Globe that touring kept her away from the sound of cicadas and said she missed hearing them. She had one tattooed on her arm for that reason; the account is about a sound from home, not a general symbol attached to the insect.

Lettering that stays close to the skin

On her wrist, the phrase “Dios Existir” means “God exists,” Baker said. She connected it to Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, where residents post signs with words they need to remember during an outbreak of insomnia and memory loss. She chose a tattoo because it would be in her sight each morning.

Other lettering appears across Baker’s hands and arms, though live photos don’t make every word easy to read. Hand and wrist ink is hard to keep crisp; if you’re considering a phrase, check its spelling and look at the stencil at actual size before settling on placement.

The Underoath logo tattoo and music on the skin

The New Yorker reports that Baker has a stick-and-poke Underoath logo. When she was 12, she asked her father to take her to see the band; she later described the show as changing how she understood a performer speaking to a crowd. The tattoo keeps that early musical connection visible.

The small boygenius tooth

Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus each got a small tooth tattoo connected to boygenius. Dacus later said Phoebe came up with the idea and tied it to the song “Bite the Hand”; their tattoo artist advised them against placing it on their hands because the ink can fall out.

Why the collection feels personal instead of staged

In photos, Baker’s collection ranges from readable lettering to small motifs and larger animal pieces. The amount visible changes from one shot to another, and the interviews don’t explain every mark. This guide sticks to the designs with a source-backed account.

A better way to borrow the feeling

If one of these tattoos gives you an idea, start with the reference behind it, not the exact shape. A lyric, a local bird or a sound tied to home can lead to a design that belongs to your own life. Bring that story and your placement idea to an artist, then work out the scale together.

Rosalía’s tattoos mix album lettering with references to art, flamenco and people close to her. The designs covered here span her fingers, feet, thigh, ribs and back; some stories come from Rosalía, while others are documented through photographs and coverage.

Motomami finger lettering

She put MOTO across one hand and MAMI across the other, leaving the thumbs bare. Rosalía shared the process around the announcement of the Motomami World Tour and joked about her mother’s reaction. The short lettering makes the album title readable when she raises her hands.

Finger skin moves and rubs against things, so small letters need room to stay legible. Her four-letter words keep the design compact without adding a longer phrase.

RR sole tattoo

On El Hormiguero, Rosalía took off her shoe to show the double R on the sole of her left foot. She said the two names share an initial and confirmed the tattoo referred to her relationship with Rauw Alejandro at the time. She also said it hurt a lot and she had it done without anesthesia.

The sole is usually hidden by a shoe, which made the reveal part of the story; the tattoo itself is a small pair of overlapping letters.

Valie Export garter clasp tattoo

The outlined clasp on Rosalía’s upper left thigh refers to VALIE EXPORT’s 1970 Body Sign Action. Rosalía described the garter symbol as a statement that she decides when she is sexualized. She shares the design with her sister.

The tattoo is a light outline, with a few straight strokes suggesting the strap. Its high placement keeps it under everyday clothes and visible in some stage outfits.

Right instep mandala tattoo

One of Rosalía’s oldest documented tattoos is the black mandala along the top of her right foot, running from the toes toward the ankle. She showed it during an Instagram Q&A and rated the pain ten out of ten. No personal meaning is established in the account, so the design is best described by its concentric shapes, pointed details and dot work.

Flamenco lyric back tattoo

The script across Rosalía’s upper back quotes Manuel Molina’s flamenco song “Que nadie vaya a llorar.” The line says, roughly, that no one should cry on the day she dies because singing through sadness is more beautiful.

It is longer than her hand and foot tattoos, but the handwritten lettering stays fine and open across her back. The song is the reference she chose; the tattoo doesn’t need extra symbolism added to it.

RAUL rib lettering

The small uppercase RAUL beneath Rosalía’s left breast appeared in social photos. Coverage connected the name to Rauw Alejandro’s given name, Raúl, but that reading comes from reporting rather than a statement from Rosalía in the sources used here. The plain lettering sits close to the ribs, without decoration.

What makes Rosalía’s collection work

The six pieces covered here range from small hand and foot lettering to a long back lyric. Rosalía has explained some of their stories herself; for the others, the available reports establish the design or placement without giving a personal meaning. Keeping that distinction clear makes the collection easier to read without turning every mark into a symbol.

Beabadoobee’s tattoos range from a Peanuts strip she has tied to hard moments to a face Mac DeMarco drew on her during a karaoke night in Dublin. Photos also show a dark upper-arm design, hand doodles, a sternum butterfly, a shoulder flower and an unclear piece on her thigh. She has explained some of the stories; the rest are best described by what the images show.

The Peanuts arm tattoo

Beabadoobee has said the Peanuts strip on her arm first showed her that it’s okay not to be okay. Charlie and Snoopy’s friendship also reminds her that she has people to talk to when she feels sad. The tattoo is a narrow comic panel, not a large character portrait.

The sun and mandala-style upper-arm piece

Photos show a larger, dark, rounded design on her upper arm, with radiating details. It can read as a sun or mandala, but I haven’t found a public explanation from Bea that settles the motif or gives it a personal meaning.

Small lettering, knuckle doodles and loose flash

Pitchfork’s 2022 portrait shows a kitten face on her knuckle. Performance photos also catch small lettering, including XO, but the available sources don’t explain those marks. The doodle-like lines give this part of the collection its most casual look.

The butterfly, flower and softer placements

Pitchfork identified a pink butterfly near the top of her sternum. In a 2026 i-D interview, Beabadoobee showed a flower on her shoulder and called it her most recent tattoo. She said she often gets tattooed when she feels stressed or a little sad, and finds the sensation therapeutic.

A dark tattoo on the thigh

Concert and editorial photographs show a larger, dark tattoo on her upper thigh. The available images don’t make the design clear enough to identify, so its placement is the most that can be said with confidence.

How the whole Beabadoobee tattoo collection hangs together

The collection includes pieces with very different stories: the Peanuts strip has a personal explanation, while the face on her arm came from a night out with Mac DeMarco. Other marks are visible without a backstory in the sources used here. The mix of considered and spontaneous tattoos is more useful than trying to make every design part of one theme.

Beabadoobee tattoo ideas to borrow

Take the choice behind a tattoo, not Bea’s exact image: a comic panel you return to, a drawing from a friend or a motif connected to a memory. Keep the size and placement legible, and ask an artist how the design may change as it heals, especially on hands or near the sternum.

If you want the loose, mixed look, let each piece keep its own shape instead of filling every gap to make a matching set. A simple sketch can work at small scale; the artist can help adjust it to the spot you choose.

Tucker Pillsbury, who performs as Role Model, grew up in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Several tattoos point back to home: the Portland Press Herald’s script P on his right hand, a sack of potatoes, strawberries and a lobster trap. Photos also show loose arm drawings, a chest whale and the words “may women rule the world.”

The Maine-inspired hand tattoos

The script P on Pillsbury’s right hand copies the Portland Press Herald logo. He told the paper he wanted a reminder of home, but not an obvious lighthouse or outline of Maine. It’s a small local reference that people familiar with the paper can recognize.

The potato, strawberry and lobster trap tattoos

The Press Herald lists a sack of potatoes, a box of strawberries and a lobster trap among the tattoos Pillsbury got to remind him of Maine. They’re ordinary objects tied to home, rather than a state outline or a generic coastal symbol; the reporting doesn’t assign a separate story to each one.

The loose arm and forearm designs

Photos show small black-ink drawings scattered across Pillsbury’s arms and forearms. The pieces vary in size and line weight, but the available images don’t identify every design or explain its meaning. I’ve left the unnamed marks as visual details.

The chest whale tattoo

Esquire’s May 2026 profile showed the whale on Pillsbury’s chest while he talked about taking up fishing again, a hobby from his childhood in Maine. The article doesn’t say the tattoo represents fishing or home, so the image and the interview detail should stay separate.

The lettering and the “may women rule the world” tattoo

A 2024 Vanity Fair profile noted the words “may women rule the world” among the tattoos visible on his arms. It’s a plain, direct phrase, distinct from the smaller local references elsewhere in the collection; the profile doesn’t explain when he got it or why.

Why the collection feels connected

Several tattoos connect Pillsbury to Maine, and the rest of the visible work broadens the collection without needing one shared theme. The local references are supported by his own comments and reporting; the photos alone don’t tell us what every other mark means.

Role Model tattoo ideas to borrow

Start with a place or object that belongs to your own life. A local logo or familiar piece of food can carry more meaning than a state outline when it points to a place you know.

For a loose collection, decide on scale and placement before adding more pieces. Ask your artist how small lettering and hand or chest tattoos may change as they heal, and leave room if you expect the collection to grow.

FLETCHER’s tattoos are easiest to see in photos from the stage. The clothes, hair and lighting change from one show to the next; the ink appears in flashes as Cari Fletcher sings and plays.

There isn’t a public list explaining each piece. Concert photos show her arms well enough to describe the placement and style, but not always enough to identify every small design or its meaning. I’ll stick with what the images show.

FLETCHER’s Arm Tattoos Are the Main Event

Several separate designs show across FLETCHER’s arms: a larger upper-arm tattoo, darker work lower down and smaller marks between. The gaps leave skin visible, so the collection reads more like pieces added over time than one continuous sleeve. As she reaches for a mic or guitar, the designs bend with her arm and show from different angles.

The concert shots are grainy, but the larger shapes remain clear. Smaller details are harder to separate from the stage lighting.

In this second shot, the upper-arm piece is easier to make out; smaller shapes and linework sit lower on the arm. The live lighting hides some detail, but the tattoos still read without a studio close-up.

The pieces vary in size and line weight; they don’t form one solid panel.

Close Views of FLETCHER’s Upper-Arm Ink

A closer photo shows an illustrative-looking tattoo on the upper arm. Dark shading sits inside a broader outline, and the shape follows the curve of her arm with skin left open around it.

The upper arm gives a design room to breathe and can be covered by a short sleeve. The photo shows its appearance, though, not what it means. FLETCHER hasn’t publicly explained this piece, so there’s no reliable basis for assigning it a story.

The Smaller Pieces Around Her Forearm

Other photos show smaller marks along the forearm, with designs near the elbow and wrist. Some are dark and easy to spot; fine lines fade into the stage light.

Because the forearm turns as she moves, a tattoo that faces the room while she holds a microphone can disappear when she turns her hand. The photos don’t offer a full inventory of the smaller pieces.

Why FLETCHER’s Tattoos Work on Stage

Here, she has one arm raised while singing, so the upper-arm tattoo faces the camera in a natural movement rather than a posed close-up. You can see how the design wraps toward the back of the arm and where it disappears under clothing.

Vests, sleeveless tops and open jackets make the ink visible while leaving the performance in view. Rings, bracelets, dark clothes and instruments share the frame; the tattoos sit among those details instead of taking over every look. Lighting shifts their appearance too: in a monochrome shot the lines feel sharper, while brighter portraits soften them.

There’s No Need to Force a Meaning Onto Every Piece

FLETCHER’s songs and interviews often draw on relationships, identity and touring, so fans may connect a tattoo to a lyric or a moment. Those readings can be personal, but a public photo doesn’t confirm them. It shows where the designs are and what their lines look like, not why she chose them.

A tattoo can have a private meaning, a passing one or no story its owner wants to share. When planning your own design, think about whether its size will leave the lines clear over time instead of shrinking it just to match a screenshot.

How to Borrow the Feel Without Copying FLETCHER

Use the images as placement references, not templates. Show an artist how an upper-arm design curves or how much space sits between forearm pieces, then ask for an original drawing suited to your arm.

Before settling on a spot, bend your elbow, turn your wrist and lift your arm. The stage photos show how a tattoo can look different as the body moves. You don’t have to fill the whole arm at once; leaving space lets the pieces stay distinct and gives you options later.

The Bigger Picture

Her photos show how the tattoos sit on her arms; the reasons behind most of them remain private.

Ana Tijoux’s most recognizable tattoo is 1977 on her wrist or lower forearm. It marks her birth year and is also the title of her 2010 album and one of her best-known songs. A colourful geometric design on her other forearm has been linked in reporting to the Whipala. Photos also show smaller marks on her hands, though not every detail is clear enough to identify.

Who Is Ana Tijoux?

Tijoux is a French-born Chilean rapper and singer. She first became known through the hip-hop group Makiza, then built a solo career with music that moves between rap, Latin American rhythms and electronic production. Her songs also address power and inequality.

That background helps explain why the year tattoo and the reported Whipala reference get attention. Interviews provide context for those pieces; photographs show their placement and appearance. The smaller hand marks remain less certain.

The 1977 Wrist Tattoo

The simple number sits across Tijoux’s wrist or lower forearm. She was born in 1977; it is also the title of her 2010 solo album and a song that helped bring her music to a wider audience. One short inscription connects a personal date with two parts of her career.

The lettering is plain and easy to read in close photographs. Its meaning comes from the references behind the number, not from an elaborate design.

The Colourful Whipala-Style Forearm Tattoo

A geometric pattern of stacked chevrons and coloured blocks runs along Tijoux’s forearm. Reds, greens and yellows sit between dark lines. Some photographs show it partly covered by a sleeve; others give a clearer view of the full design.

Rolling Stone Canada connected the tattoo with the Whipala, the multicoloured flag associated with Indigenous peoples of the Andes. That reporting places the design in a wider Latin American context; it’s more than a description of its colours and shape.

Hand Tattoos and Smaller Symbols

Profiles mention tattoos on Tijoux’s hands, and photographs show small marks around her hands and arms. Concert shots can be blurred or shadowed, so not every symbol can be identified.

Microphones, jewellery, sleeves and hand movements can hide details in one frame and reveal them in another. Without a direct explanation from Tijoux, the smaller pieces are best left undescribed beyond what the photos show.

A Reported Future Project

An AFP report said Tijoux planned a large tattoo of Latin America on her leg. The report records an intention, not proof that the tattoo was completed. The available photographs here don’t confirm a finished leg piece.

There is no need to fill in what the report leaves open. If a later interview or clear photograph confirms the design, its details can be described then.

Tattoo Details to Notice

The collection mixes plain number lettering, bright geometric colour and smaller hand designs. The 1977 tattoo is easy to read; the forearm pattern makes more of a visual statement, while the tiny marks are harder to see clearly.

Using These Ideas

If a year tattoo appeals to you, start with a date that has a real connection to your life rather than copying Tijoux’s numbers. A birth year, a record or a personal milestone can work in a clean, simple style.

For a geometric forearm design, consider how the pattern will wrap when your wrist turns. Repeated chevrons and stepped blocks need to follow the body’s curves. If you’re drawn to the Whipala, take time to understand the flag and think about your own connection to it before using the reference.

Final Take

The 1977 tattoo links Tijoux’s birth year with her music, and Rolling Stone Canada connects the colourful forearm design to the Whipala. The smaller marks are visible but not fully identified. The reported Latin America leg tattoo was a plan, not a confirmed piece in the reporting used here.

Lauren Jauregui’s tattoos include small tributes to family, a date tied to her first solo performance, a lucky number and a phrase about faith. Six pieces have been documented. Some meanings come from Jauregui’s own comments; the bee on her wrist remains unexplained.

Lauren Jauregui’s dragonfly neck tattoo

Jauregui’s first tattoo is a black dragonfly on the back of her neck, just below the hairline. Her hair can cover it, while an updo leaves it in view.

She chose it for her grandmother. After her grandmother died, Jauregui noticed dragonflies everywhere and took them as a reminder that her grandmother’s spirit was still around.

The “Angelica” forearm tattoo

The cursive name Angelica on Jauregui’s forearm honours her paternal grandmother. Jauregui has spoken about their close relationship and shared a tribute after her grandmother’s death. The lettering reads like handwriting, keeping the focus on the name.

Her bee wrist tattoo

A small bee sits on the inside of Jauregui’s left wrist. It is drawn in fine black-and-gray lines, with its wings open. Jauregui hasn’t publicly explained what it means.

Some fans connect it to the House of Aureum in Halsey’s Hopeless Fountain Kingdom world, since Jauregui worked with Halsey and appeared on “Strangers.” That remains a fan theory, not Jauregui’s confirmed explanation.

The 6.6.18 tattoo that marks her solo start

The date “6.6.18” on Jauregui’s forearm marks June 6, 2018, when she performed her first solo show in São Paulo while opening for Halsey’s Hopeless Fountain Kingdom tour. She had already performed with Fifth Harmony; this was her first time onstage with her own songs and direction.

Jauregui has described that night as the moment she realised she could do it on her own. The date marks a career turning point for her, even if its meaning isn’t obvious to anyone seeing the tattoo.

Why Lauren has an XXVII tattoo

Jauregui’s Roman numeral tattoo reads XXVII, or 27, and sits near her right elbow. The number recurs in her life: she was born on June 27, Fifth Harmony formed on July 27, and the group released the album 7/27.

She has also called 27 a lucky number and said she notices it repeatedly. The tattoo gives that number a lasting place in the collection.

One more personal phrase

The phrase “I Am That I Am” runs along Jauregui’s spine in lowercase cursive. It comes from Exodus, in the story of Moses and the burning bush. She has connected it with gratitude and being alive, rather than presenting it as religious branding.

The lettering follows the length of her back and is less visible than the forearm pieces. Its placement keeps the phrase out of view in everyday photos unless she chooses to show it.

What ties the whole collection together?

The tattoos mark different things: two tributes to her grandmothers, a career milestone, a number Jauregui considers lucky and a phrase she connects with gratitude. The bee is the exception; its meaning hasn’t been confirmed, despite the fan theory linking it to Halsey’s fictional world.

The designs don’t need to match for the collection to feel personal. Each one has a different reference, and the confirmed stories are specific enough without filling the gaps with guesses.

If you’re looking for ideas, focus on a person, date, number or phrase that has a real connection to you. A small tattoo can hold that meaning without copying Jauregui’s design. For more of her music, here’s the official video for “Trust Issues.”
