From Charlotte Crosby to Kylie Jenner: 15 celebrity tattoos and the hidden meanings behind them.

It’s safe to say that tattoos are everywhere right now.

Most likely, your friends, colleagues and favourite celebrities all have a few (or many).

Tattoos you can HEAR are a thing, and they’re pretty awesome. Post continues below.

Celebrities are known to be trailblazers when it comes to the latest trends in fashion and beauty, and it’s exactly the same when it comes to tattoos.

Many of them don some pretty funky tattoos that we now want, too.

But although they may just seem ‘pretty’ to us, to the people that got them, they represent something much more important.

Here are 15 celebrity tattoos and the hidden meanings behind them.

Demi Lovato

I recently went dark on social media in preparation for my Grammy and Super Bowl performances but while I was off socials I got this incredibly meaningful tattoo done by @alessandro_capozzi. Getting tatted by him was an experience I’ve never had before.. no idea what I was going to get done, I told him about my life and where I was at in that moment and we created a combination on images that best symbolized the spiritual awakening I was having. Having a fallen angel being lifted by 3, pure, angelic doves (the Holy trinity) as her inner light is being guided by a higher consciousness, and the disintegration of her dark wings was representing the darkness I was shedding. Alessandro – you are extremely talented and I can’t wait for more!! Thank you for this special experience.. the only bummer is I can’t physically see this amazing artwork because it’s on my back! Haha. Also shout out to @scooterbraun for introducing us! ???????????? ps. I still can’t believe how life like this looks and it healed amazing as well ????????????????????????

Demi Lovato’s most recent tattoo was created by tattoo artist, Alessandro Capozzi, to represent where she is in her life.

Alongside an Instagram photo of the new ink, she wrote, “I told him about my life and where I was at in that moment and we created a combination of images that best symbolised the spiritual awakening I was having.”

The fallen angel is being lifted by three doves (the Holy Trinity).

Lovato explains that it represents “her inner light being guided by a higher consciousness”, and says the “disintegration of her dark wings was representing the darkness I was shedding.”

Many fans suspect Lovato is referring to her near-fatal drug overdose in 2018.

The girl with the dragon tattoo ???? @callyjoart

A post shared by Charlotte Letitia Crosby (@charlottegshore) on Feb 24, 2020 at 5:41am PST

Charlotte Crosby only revealed her latest ink addition a few days ago.

Crosby explained that although it was an exciting tattoo, it was intended to cover up an older, embarrassing one.

Back when she was the host of MTV’s tattooing show, Just Tattoo of Us, she got her ex-boyfriend’s face tattooed on her back.

Her dragon was put there to cover the remainder of it, after three laser removal sessions.

Just a super tiny reminder on @hilaryduff , one of the best tips when you are driving in LA via #bettedavis ????

A post shared by Doctor Woo (@_dr_woo_) on Dec 7, 2017 at 1:41pm PST

Younger‘s Hilary Duff got the quote “Take Fountain” tattooed on her.

The phrase was originally said by Bette Davis when she appeared on a talk show and was asked what advice she had for actors trying to make it in Hollywood.

Her advice: “Take Fountain.”

This is because many LA locals know when there’s traffic on Santa Monica Blvd, take Fountain Ave instead.

A post shared by RITA ORA (@ritaora) on Jan 31, 2020 at 1:19pm PST

Rita Ora got the word “Zog” tattooed on her neck in honour of a nickname her mum used to call her.

Turner’s husband, Joe Jonas, got an outline (oddly similar to his brother’s) of a woman inked on his arm. Many fans assume it is an ode to Sophie Turner, especially as it looks a lot like her Game of Thrones character, Sansa Stark.
