Selena Gomez just got a new ink and it has a very important meaning!
The 21-year-old pop star is sporting a new tattoo, courtesy of celebrity tattoo artist Bang Bang McCurdy, who dished on the beauty’s new body art.
Bang Bang reveals that the singer got her tattoo “about a month ago”, adding that “she had been wanting this one for a while.”
The new ink is located on the upper right side of her back.
“Its meaning translates to ‘Love Yourself,'” Bang Bang shares about the script, which appears to be an Arabic translation of “Love Yourself First.”
The celebrity tattoo artist inked the singer in NYC after she came in “with a couple of friends.”
“Selena already had it written out how she wanted,” he says. “The tattoo is about 4 inches, and didn’t take too long, probably about 30-45 minutes. The longest part is laying it out. We played with it a bit laying it out, until we found the perfect spot.”
“She loved it; she flipped out!” Bang Bang happily reveals.
According to Bang Bang, Gomez “has about 5-6 tattoos now”, adding that he has tattooed her about three times.
Gomez later shared a photo of the tat on Instagram and captioned the pic, “Art by @bangbangnyc –from my first to my last. It’s always this fool.”
