From blooming back pieces to delicate and diminutive designs, these celebrity tattoos will help inspire you next body art session.

Celebrity tattoos are a fascinating art form. Body art may be a fundamentally personal choice, but when you spend your life in the public eye, ink becomes the topic of analytical conversation—and inspiration for similar themes. From intricate back pieces to arms full of delicate designs, the options are quite literally endless, and each and every selection is worth of attention.

Here, 30 celebrity tattoos to help influence your future ink.

Hailey Bieber

A neck tattoo may not seem like an obvious choice for Hailey Bieber, but her “Lover” script features a featherlight touch that’s a soft and pretty as the sentiment. 

Justin Bieber

Sometimes, life’s essentials call for a visual reminder. Justin Bieber’s vertically oriented “Patience” tattoo runs down the side of his neck—a bold statement for a quiet concept. 

Sabrina Carpenter

Sabrina Carpenter’s tattoos are all tiny and super cute. The butterfly on her ribcage was done by her go-to artist Dr. Woo. She got it in early 2022 as a matching tattoo with her older sister Sarah. Both have half a set of wings on their left ribcage.

Evan Rachel Wood

A poetic quote is a quintessential tattoo choice, and Evan Rachel Wood’s choice, a quote from Edgar Allen Poe’s “A Dream Within a Dream," is the perfect balance of timeless and haunting. 

Kate Moss

There’s something classically anarchic about Kate Moss, but her delicate Americana anchor signals stability and steadfastness—that, or an unquenchable yearning for the sea. 

Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey’s bran is dreamy and rebellious, a combo embodied by the singer and songwriter’s “Paradise” tattoo, an homage to her 2012 album scrawled down the outside of her hand. 

Harry Styles

From a set of swallows to a topless mermaid, many of Harry Styles’s long menu of tattoos are inspired by classic Americana designs. 

Rihanna

Another celebrity with a tattoo collection, Rihanna’s iconic chest piece is a depiction of Egyptian goddess Isis, her wings offering an unexpected accessory to crops and cut-outs. 

Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish’s trio of fairies are all whimsy and sweetness. The pop start took to Instagram Stories to share that the fairies are guardian angels, and inspired by a favorite childhood book. 

Selena Gomez

Given her commitment to championing mental health, Selena Gomez's "sunshine" tattoo—the world delicately scribbled on the outside of her foot—takes on additional (and inspiring) meaning.

Lucy Hale

What better way to honor seven seasons of Pretty Little Liars than with a commemorative tattoo? Lucy Hale and the other actors from the show marked their time with an “A,” the letter appropriately placed on their shushing finger. 

Kaia Gerber

Kaia Gerber's selection of inked art tends toward tiny designs and single lines, making the baby angel (head and wings only) one of her largest pieces.

Justin Bieber

Along with kind words, Bieber’s assemblage of tattoos includes a set of angel wings on the back of his neck, the work tattoo artist Dan Price.

Halsey

Halsey’s scripted quote from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, “These violent delights have violent ends,” adds an underlying narrative to her surrounding collection of playful and pretty art. 

Cara Delevigne

She’s got eyes in the back of her head—or rather, her neck. The eye-catching design is the work of tattoo artist Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy, but the owner of the gaze that inspired the ink is unclear.

David Beckham

David Beckham wears his heart on his hand. Wife Victoria Beckham’s name features along with a collage of other words and symbols. 

Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie furthered her impressive selection of ink while filming in Cambodia, with a series of yantra-style tattoos containing Buddhist blessings.

Scarlett Johansson

A thorny vine of climbing roses makes Scarlett Johansson's backless red carpet moments all the more striking.

Ariana Grande

Look closely and you'll spot one of Ariana Grande's covert tattoos: a small outline of a crescent moon positioned beneath her ear.

Zoe Kravitz

Zoe Kravitz's "Mississippi Goddamn" tattoo is a nod to Nina Simone's song of the name name.

Lily Collins

A sweet line of text ("Love always and forever") and a line drawing of a woman seated on a lily pad combine in Lily Collins's pretty pairing, the designs positioned between her shoulder blades.

Victoria Beckham

Though it seems Victoria Beckham's striking tattoo may have been removed, the sentiment remains strong: the line of Hebrew text is a twin to one of husband David Beckham's designs, and reads, "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine."

Priyanka Chopra

A line of script reading, "Daddy's little girl" adorns the outside of Priyanka's Chopra's hand.

Miley Cyrus

Another celebrity with a wide array of body art, Miley Cyrus's Native American dreamcatcher was inked in Venezuela and intended as a symbol of protection for her siblings.

Charlotte Lawrence

Charlotte Lawrence's tiny drawings adorn both her arms, with a diminutive wine glass and the silhouette of a naked woman featuring in the line-up.

Megan Fox

Another Shakespeare nod, Megan Fox's "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies" is a quote from King Lear.

Dua Lipa

As an alternative to angel wings, the word itself communicates Dua Lipa's assertion of virtue.

Lady Gaga

Why not wear your influences on your sleeve—or your side? Lady Gaga's admiration for David Bowie (or in this case Ziggy Stardust) makes for excellent body art inspo.

Sienna Miller

A teeny tiny line drawing of a heart adds some appropriately understated sweetness to Sienna Miller's always chic style.

Dakota Johnson

Dakota Johnson's trio of birds—which can be spotted in flight over one shoulder—are thought by some to be a tribute to grandmother Tippi Hendren's iconic role in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds.
