What do celebrities’ tattoo choices reveal about their personalities and what they want to convey to their fans?
Celebrities have the power to influence and inspire generations. Their style, fashion choices, and even their tattoos are often emulated by fans. However, not every tattoo decision made by a celebrity is a good one. Some tattoos are downright embarrassing and later end up getting removed. In this article, we will explore some of the celebrities who got really embarrassing tattoos removed.
The first one on our list is Ariana Grande. Ariana had a tattoo on her finger that read, “BBQ Grill.” She intended to get the tattoo in honor of her hit single, “7 Rings,” but the Japanese characters that made up the tattoo mutually translated to “Small Charcoal Grill.”
Another celebrity that had to remove an embarrassing tattoo is Johnny Depp. The Hollywood actor had the name “Wino forever” etched onto his arm in 1989. However, after his 1993 split with Winona Ryder, he changed the tattoo to read “Wine forever.” Later on, he ended up getting it surgically removed altogether.
Britney Spears is another celebrity who made a questionable tattoo choice. In 2004, the pop star got a design of a fairy on her back. While the fairy tattoo was not overtly embarrassing, the misspelled Latin phrase located right above the fairy prompted the removal of the tattoo. The phrase was meant to read, “I dare not be perfect,” but instead, it was misspelled as “I d-n’t n-ed your help.”
David Beckham is a fashion and style icon, but even he is not immune to embarrassing tattoo choices. In 2003, he got a tattoo of his wife’s name, “Victoria,” written in Hindi on his arm. However, the tattoo translated to “Vihctoria” due to a spelling mistake. The football star later got the tattoo corrected.
Lastly, Rihanna is known for her elaborate tattoo work. However, she too has had to remove an embarrassing tattoo. She had the words “rebelle fleur” tattooed on her neck in 2010, which was supposed to be the translation of “rebel flower.” However, the correct translation is “fleur rebelle,” prompting her to later remove the tattoo.
In conclusion, these celebrities may have regretted their tattoo choices, but they teach us the valuable lesson of being mindful before going under the needle. While tattoos can be meaningful and beautiful, it is essential to double-check spelling, translation, and meaning before getting inked permanently.
