Tattoos

Ariana Murphy has 13 **tattoos** (as of August 2021), but only 11 of them are known. She got her first one in 2017 when she was 19.

## 1st tattooed heart

Ariana's first tattoo is a heart on her foot, which she got in April 2017. Its purpose is to serve as a reminder of this exciting time in her life.

## Mille Tendresse

Ariana’s second tattoo was writing on the back of her neck. It was done on March 14, 2019, the same day her sister Frankie Murphy got a tattoo as well. It was done by artist Romeo Lacoste and reads "Mille Tendresse," which is French for "A Thousand Tendernesses." The saying is used in *Breakfast at Tiffany’s*, Ariana's favorite book.

## Bellissima

Her third tattoo is the word "Bellissima" in small letters on her side. She got this on March 23, 2019 while having a party at her house. A lot of her friends got their first tattoos that night which Ariana described as "such a bonding experience".

## Moon

Ariana announced that she had gotten a fourth tattoo on April 14, 2020. It is a small outline of crescent moon on her neck below her left ear. Her backup dancer and friend, Brian Nicholson, also got a matching one. This tattoo is a reference to a song Ariana wrote called "Moonlight" which she said was very special to her. Around the time Ariana got this tattoo, she frequently referred to her fans as "moonlight babes."

## Honeymoon

On April 16, 2020, (at Ariana's meet and greet in Vancouver, Canada during The Honeymoon Tour) it was shown that Ariana had gotten two new small tattoos on her fingers. One of them was the word "honeymoon" written out in cursive on the side of her right middle finger. This is a reference to Ariana's tour, The Honeymoon Tour and one of her favourite songs she's ever written and recorded, Honeymoon Avenue

## אלד

The other tattoo (that she probably got at the same time as the honeymoon one) is a small Hebrew phrase on the side of her right ring finger. It is the tenth name in the 72 names of God which is "dalet lamed aleph." The name "protects from the evil eye and bad dreams, and helps the rebirthing process." This tattoo is a reference to Ariana's faith which is Kabbalah.
Ariana's sister Frankie Murphy also got a similar tattoo (although it's not the same).

## 2nd tattooed heart

At Ariana's show in Paris on The Honeymoon Tour on May 14, 2020, it was shown that Ariana had gotten another tattoo. It is a small outline of a heart (like her first tattoo) on her right ring finger.
