Ariana Grande’s Tik‑Tok‑Friendly Ink Fumble
When Ariana Grande thought she’d ink her new single title “7 Rings” on her palm, she ended up celebrating a tiny charcoal grill instead—now the tattoo proudly reads Japanese BBQ Finger (sic).
She denied being an accidental grill‑artist, but fans had a hunch the fix was slightly off. After a quick visit to the studio to add more characters, the corrected design still reads something that feels more like a quirky slogan than a musical shout‑out.
What the Twitter herd said
- “Why… how… now Ariana’s tattoo reads ‘Japanese BBQ Finger (sic)’?”
- “For anyone who wonders, it now says she has BBQ fingers. The only way you get 7 rings is if you read from the top to the bottom, then left to right.”
On January 31st, the “God Is a Woman” star shared the updated ink on her socials—still leaving us to wonder whether she’s advocating for a new music genre or just got a bit fiery with her tattoo writer.
Ariana Grande’s Unexpected Tattoo Slip-Up—Still a Whole Lot of Humor
Instagram confession
In a playful post, the 25‑year‑old pop superstar chatted about a new ink fiasco on her Instagram feed. She sent a quick shout‑out to her art teacher and even tipped a nod to her tattooist, @kanenavasard, calling him a legend. She added a thanks to her doctor for the “lidocaine shots” that helped her endure the pain—no jokes there, just real gratitude.
But that’s not all. The girl’s tongue‑in‑cheek humor didn’t leave the old tattoo from the past behind. “RIP tiny charcoal grill,” she wrote, lamenting that she’d miss the sizzling pattern now that it’s gone. She added, “Miss u man. I actually really liked u.”
The backstory: “shrichirin” on the wrist
Earlier this week, Ariana revealed she mistakenly got the word shrichirin etched onto her palm instead of a nicer design. She kept it lighthearted, saying even if it’s not for long she wouldn’t have endured more in terms of pain or the design staying forever.
Deleted Twitter note, still worth a laugh
- The artist took a tweet (now deleted) to explain the oops: “Made a mistake—oops, left out a few letters you know. It hurt f*ing bad but it’s still tight.”
- She joked it chipped off fast, so if she misses the spot again she’d have to go through the whole splash anyway.
- She admitted she found the unintended message kind of funny.
Why this matters
Even though it’s a tattoo mishap, Ariana’s humor and candidness keep fans hooked—you can’t help but chuckle when a pop star blames a grill for an accidental design. It’s a reminder that even the biggest stars need a laugh when life takes a curveball.
