Ariana Grande is not only known for her hit music but also for making her body a work of art. All of her tattoos are equally important in Ariana's personal life and career. Each represents a milestone in her life but one particular ink seems to have brought the most pain for the singer.
Following the mega-success of her "7 rings" song earlier this year, the singer gave a tribute to the song by having a tattoo on her left palm. The ink is supposed to spell her song title in Japanese characters. The tatt reads "七輪."
Unfortunately, it wasn't an accurate translation of her song title. According to her fans on social media, it translates to "shichirin" or "small barbecue grill."
Grande admitted the mistake in a now-deleted exchange with fans. Then, a few days later, Ariana posted an updated picture of her new tattoo and it appeared that she attempted to correct the earlier mistake. She also thanked her tattoo artist and Japanese tutor for helping her out.
In the updated photo that Grande posted, a new character was added to the existing ink on her left palm. However, the singer got it wrong again.
The problem is that the new Japanese character was tattooed in the wrong place. Buzzfeed explained that the new character "指" was added directly underneath the original tattoo. It was added under the "七" character, which means "seven," instead of above and in between the two existing characters.
The site noted that it doesn't make sense in Japanese because they read from top to bottom and right to left. Therefore, Ariana's ink read as "輪♡七指" vertically and it means "Japanese BBQ finger ♡."
The "God Is a Woman" singer committed a back-to-back mistake on her tattoo. What makes this tatt more painful is that she tried to correct it by adding another character which means she went to another agonizing procedure again but still didn't make it right.
Though Ari has been familiar with the pain in having a new tattoo, she still feels it everything. In this particular tatt, she felt it twice based on the caption on her second photo.
"Slightly better. Thanks to my tutor for helping me fix and to [tattoo artist Kane Navasard] for being a legend. And to my doctor for the lidocaine shots (no joke)," she wrote.
