- Becky G’s tattoo collection is growing.
- The singer has been getting inked since 2016 and has around 10 designs in total.
- She’s gone to a few different artists for her designs.
Becky G is quickly adding to her tattoo collection. The singer started getting ink back in 2016 and since then, has added numerous designs to her arms, back, and neck. Though she clearly has a favorite style – black ink, fine-line tattoos – she likes to switch up the artists she goes to. Her oldest known designs are a small dragonfly on her side and a wrist tattoo for her family.
Back in February 2021, Becky G visited a tattoo parlor and left with not one but two new pieces of ink. The “MAMIII” singer revealed via Instagram that she got the tattoos on Feb. 8, 2021, after a visit to famed Los Angeles-based tattoo artist Saul Lira. One of the pieces of ink was placed under her right ear and reads “resilient” in cursive. The other one is on her right inner wrist. The Treslúce Beauty founder shared the designs with the caption “Inglewood, CA. “LA 🌴🖤💯.”
Then, almost exactly two years later, in February 2023, Becky G added two more tiny tattoos to her collection. This time, Michelle Santana, an artist at Bang Bang Tattoo, was behind the ink. According to Santana’s caption, she’s been tattooing the star since 2018. Most of Becky G’s tattoos hold a special meaning to her – many of her designs represent her family, while others are for her hometown.
Ahead, get a closer look at all of Becky G’s tattoos and learn the meaning of each design.
