Madison Beer’s visible tattoos include fine script reading “life support” at her nape and the word “locket” on the back of her upper arm. In a Teen Vogue interview, she also recalled an early “B” tattoo.
Madison Beer’s “Life Support” tattoo
The words life support sit in small cursive at the back of Beer’s neck. TattooFilter’s listing identifies the studio as JonBoy Tattoo. The phrase is also the title of Beer’s 2021 debut album, but she hasn’t said whether the tattoo refers to the record.
It’s a short, fine-line phrase in a discreet spot. Hair can cover the nape, so the lettering appears mainly when it’s tied back or moved aside.
Madison Beer’s “Locket” tattoo
In October 2025, Beer shared an Instagram Story showing the word locket in cursive on the back of her upper arm. Coverage at the time described it as a new tattoo. The close photo shows the word on its own, without a frame or illustration.
Fans connected the word to her album locket. The matching title is easy to notice, but Beer hasn’t said whether the tattoo was chosen for the album. What the image confirms is simpler: a single cursive word on the back of her arm.
Her early years in the spotlight
In Teen Vogue’s 2022 “Firsts” interview, Beer said her first tattoo was a “B” she got with her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber. She didn’t give its placement or say whether it has changed. Beer first reached a wider audience with YouTube covers; her 2021 debut album, Life Support, was co-written and co-produced by her.
How to read the photos without guessing
Beer’s tattoos appear in close-ups, while the event and interview portraits here provide context rather than tattoo evidence. A frame shows what’s visible in it; it isn’t a complete record of her ink.
A personal style built from small choices
The script designs share a visual scale: short words in fine lettering with clear skin around them. At the nape and upper arm, hair or clothing can cover them or leave them visible.
If you’re considering a short phrase, check the lettering at the size you’ll actually get and ask how it may read after healing. A good artist can show you examples of healed script and adjust the spacing before the stencil goes on.
Placement changes how often a tattoo is seen. Try a stencil while standing, sitting and turning, and consider how hair or clothing will cover it. The aim is to choose a phrase and location that work for you, not to reproduce Beer’s tattoos.
