At the moment, the celebrity world appears to be preoccupied with obtaining tattoos. As we all know, the permanent jewelry craze is exploding (just look at our current fascination with ear piercings), so it’s only natural that getting tattooed is on the rise as well. However, many of our favorite celebs are eschewing the delicate look. Instead, they’re choosing bold, dramatic, and often garish designs (Billie Eilish, for example).
Selena Gomez is the most recent star to join the huge tattoo club, having shown off a cryptic back tattoo a few weeks ago that no one could figure out what it meant.
Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy, a celebrity tattoo artist, tagged Selena in a photo on Instagram, but it was challenging to tell what the tattoo was of due to the dim lighting. Bang Bang has now provided a much closer look, showcasing a big, water-colored rose that begins just beneath her neck and cascades down between her shoulder blades. The chosen colors are black and pink, which have been expertly combined to give a gentle aesthetic.
Despite the fact that the design is one-of-a-kind, Bang Bang reproduced it for Cara Delevingne, who debuted her matching ink in a video.
Bang Bang said:
“I had a lot of fun doing these tattoos, and I appreciate your trust in me, Cara. I didn’t tell them till the end that these were my first watercolor tattoos, just in case you were wondering .”
Cara Delevingne and Selena Gomez have been friends for a long time, and Cara is expected to appear in season 2 of Selena’s hit program, Only Murders In The Building, which is currently in production. Both actresses have matching tattoos, with Selena sharing several with her closest friends and Cara enjoying ink links with Kaia Gerber and Ashley Benson, among others.
