Selena Gomez has been slowly growing her tattoo collection for years. The Rare singer has gotten three new pieces of ink in the last four months alone for a grand total of 12 known tattoos to date. From a delicate number "4" on the inside of her arm to represent her best friends to the large praying-hands mural on her upper thigh, each one of Gomez's tattoos has a special meaning.

Most of her symbolic tattoos are by Keith "Bang Bang" McCurdy from Bang Bang Tattoo in New York City. This includes her most recent "Rare" tattoo behind her ear. Considering Gomez is a master at containing her tiny (and that one not-so-tiny) ink, it's possible she has more ink skillfully hidden and will be adding onto the collection again soon.

Get a closer look at all of Gomez's tattoos and find out what they mean ahead.
