Manon Bannerman’s tattoos are mostly small pieces gathered over time. Teen Vogue counts more than ten, including finger dots, fine-line hand ink, words on her ribs, arm, foot and hip, matching stars with friends, and more pieces on her legs. The collection mixes personal details with designs that are only partly visible in public photos.
Teen Vogue provides the clearest inventory, though some designs are easier to identify than others. Its report names the tattoos that can be read or placed from photos; less clear details are noted cautiously below.
The Femme fatale rib tattoo is the easiest piece to place
Manon’s Femme fatale lettering sits along her ribs, just below the edge of her top in the Teen Vogue cover photo. The black script is fine and slightly loose, running in a compact line with space around the letters. It is one of the clearest views of her tattoos.
The placement keeps the phrase covered by an ordinary shirt and visible in a crop top or editorial look. The useful reference is its scale and position on the curve of the ribs. An artist can help size the letters for the body in motion, rather than copying what fits in a phone-sized crop.
A second view shows why the lettering stays delicate
A wider Teen Vogue image shows the same tattoo alongside Manon’s face, braids and outfit. It helps put the phrase in proportion: the lettering is readable, but it remains a narrow detail on her ribs. A close view shows the line work; the wider photo shows how it sits with clothing and the rest of her look.
Those two views answer different questions. If you are collecting references, keep both a close image and a wider one so the lettering and placement are easy to compare.
Small details that repeat
Teen Vogue lists dots on Manon’s three middle fingers. They can disappear in a full-body photo, then stand out in a close-up. Finger tattoos also get more friction and washing than ink on the arm or torso, so tiny marks may soften or fade with time. Their spacing and size are worth discussing with an artist before settling on a stencil.
Fine lines that follow the body
Teen Vogue credits Los Angeles artist Arbel for a fine-line design around Manon’s ring finger and notes that it appeared in a Glossier campaign and in selfies. Later public appearances show more delicate motifs extending down her left hand. Together, the images suggest that the hand work developed over time rather than arriving as one finished piece.
Fine lines can connect a finger, knuckle and hand without filling the whole area. The design still needs enough space to remain legible as it heals; an artist can advise what detail will hold at the intended size.
A joke shared with friends
Manon has the word Ham on her inner bicep. Teen Vogue quotes her saying she got it “just bc I’m hot as a mf.” Three friends each wrote one letter, so their handwriting is part of the design. The inner-bicep placement also lets her cover the word with a sleeve or show it when she raises her arm.
Keeping the letters in their original handwriting ties the joke to the friends who made it with her.
A softer note in the mix
Above her elbow, Manon has cursive lettering that reads Bliss. Fans first noticed it in 2025, and it later appeared at public events. The short word sits apart from the denser hand designs and the rib phrase, with no extra frame or ornament around it.
The space above the elbow gives a small script tattoo room while keeping it easy to cover. The artist still needs to account for how the arm bends.
Reading the details carefully
Teen Vogue says a fine script tattoo on the side of Manon’s left instep is believed to read Sophie. The wording is cautious because the tattoo is small and the available views do not clearly confirm every letter.
The instep is exposed to shoes and daily friction, and the foot flexes as it moves. Anyone considering script in that spot should ask an artist about a legible size and an aftercare plan that works with their usual footwear.
Two later additions with different moods
Teen Vogue also lists Rockstar on Manon’s hip, where the word is mostly covered, and matching stars on her hand with close friends. The stars were reported in December 2025. One is a short word with a bit of swagger; the other is a shared mark in a visible part of her collection.
The stars sit near her finger dots and fine-line hand tattoos. That makes the hand a place where several small designs can be seen together, while the hip lettering stays more private.
Some details remain outside the frame
During an Instagram tattoo tour, Manon reportedly mentioned “a bunch” of leg tattoos. The available photos do not show enough detail to make a reliable list of them. That is as far as the public record goes for those pieces.
What makes Manon’s collection feel connected
The collection moves between fine lines, short words, finger dots and matching stars. The designs do not all share one style, but most stay small and leave space around them. The contextual KATSEYE photo here sets the scene; it is not evidence of another tattoo.
For a reference of your own, focus on placement and scale rather than copying Manon’s exact designs. A short phrase can sit along the ribs, while hand tattoos can grow a little at a time. Leave enough room for the skin and the artist’s work.
Manon’s off-stage look is part of the reference
This portrait adds context, not tattoo evidence. Manon’s public styling ranges from curls to braids, editorial makeup and casual selfies. Clothing and hair can change what a photo shows, so one image is rarely a complete view of her ink.
The group setting around these photos
The group photo places Manon with KATSEYE but does not show her tattoos clearly. The embedded tour diary offers context for the article; the individual designs above are described from the reporting and photos that identify them.
