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."
