Selena Gomez Has 16 Tattoos — Here's What They All Mean

Music isn't the only form of art that Selena Gomez uses to express herself. Over the years, the pop star has accumulated a growing collection of tattoos as permanent mementos of dates, events, and people she's encountered in both her personal and professional life since reaching stardom. Selena has 16 tattoos to date, though since it looks like she's gotten into the habit of debuting a new one every few months over the last few years, we'd guess that she's probably not done adding to her collection just yet.

The "Rare" singer has tattoos of quotes, single words, symbols, dates, and more, and they're all delicately placed on various parts of her body from her neck to her wrist to behind her ear. Most recently, Selena debuted a stunning rose tattoo that she got after paying a visit to Bang Bang Tattoo, a New York City tattoo studio owned by her go-to artist, Keith Scott "Bang Bang" McCurdy. The rose is bright pink with a dripping design and sits in the middle of her back, and it's one of many matching tattoos that she's gotten with a few of her friends and fellow celebs.
