Ariana Grande Has an Impressive Collection of 50+ Tiny Tattoos

Updated on 8/22/2023 at 11:40 AM

Ariana Grande may not be the most tattooed celebrity in history, but her collection of ink is still pretty impressive. Over the years, the "Wicked" star has amassed more than 50 designs, and she doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon. In fact, she just revealed in an interview with Allure that she filled the blank space on the back of her right hand with a Glinda design, in honor of her character.

Grande's tattoos span her entire body, from her neck down to her feet, and each one is uniquely her. Many tell a story and hold sentimental value. She has a tattoo of the nickname her grandfather gave her, a few that reference her favorite movies, and various other culture–related designs (like a "Breakfast at Tiffany's" quote). She also has a long list of designs that represent her career in music, like a "Sweetener" World Tour tattoo she got with her bandmates. But that's not to say that all of Grande's tattoos are meticulously thought out or always go as planned. There was that incident with the infamous "7 Rings" tattoo, and over the years, she's had to get quite a few old tattoos from past relationships covered up.

Some of Grande's designs are in not-so-obvious spots, like her ribcage, while others are on full display. By far her easiest designs to spy are her many hand and finger tattoos. But fear not: we rounded up her full collection ahead.

To get a closer look at Grande's tattoos and learn about their meanings, read on.

A dedicated fan of Hayao Miyazaki's films, Grande told fans the permanent significance behind Chihiro in a now-expired Instagram Story. According to Grande, this character sheds her own fears throughout the film and matures into a "courageous, quick-witted, and reliable girl." It makes sense that Grande would resonate with the movie's brave heroine.

Ariana Grande's "7 Rings" Hand Tattoo

In 2019, Grande attempted to get two Japanese characters on her hand in honor of her new song, but it didn't go as planned. Instead of spelling out "7 Rings," the characters described a small barbecue grill.

Grande responded to fans who pointed out the mistake with a series of tweets that have since been deleted, which read, "Indeed, I left out 'つの指,' which should have gone in between. It hurt like f*ck n still looks tight. I wouldn't have lasted one more symbol lmao. But this spot also peels a ton and won't last so if I miss it enough I'll suffer thru the whole thing next time." She then followed up with, "also...huge fan of tiny bbq grills."

The singer later attempted to fix the ink and shared an update with her fans. "Slightly better. Thanks to my tutor for helping me fix and to @kanenavasard for being a legend. And to my doctor for the lidocaine shots (no joke). Rip tiny charcoal grill. Miss u man. I actually really liked u."
