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.”
