• Adele has seven known tattoos.
• In a recent interview, the singer shared the meaning behind two pieces of ink.
• Adele's Saturn tattoo is a reference to her Saturn return, while the mountain symbolises the constant feeling of climbing to the top.

Any Adele fan is probably already well aware that the singer has multiple tattoos, but the meaning behind them had been kept quiet until recently. In her cover interview for Vogue [1], the singer opened up about the events in her life that led to two of her most meaningful pieces of ink [2].

On her right wrist is a tattoo of the planet Saturn [3] with a drawing of Los Angeles in the middle that she got after experiencing a bout of anxiety after having to cancel two shows at Wembley Stadium back in 2017. The tattoo is in reference to her Saturn return [4], which, in astrology, is an event that occurs every 27 to 29.5 years, when Saturn completes its full orbit around the sun and returns to the position in the zodiac that it was in when you were born. Everyone experiences a Saturn return between the ages of 27 and 30, and they can often mark the beginnings and ends of major moments in your life.

"When that comes, it can rock your life," Adele told Vogue. "It shakes you up a bit: Who am I? What do I want to do? What makes me truly happy? All those things."

Adele also spoke about the conversation with a friend that led to her getting a tattoo of a mountain on her wrist: "I told my friend, 'I feel like I'm on a steep mountain, trying to get up to the top,'" she said. "And she was like, 'You will get there. And you'll have a nice leisurely stroll down. And then there'll be another f*cking mountain.' And I'm like, 'I'm not even over this one yet.' And she was like, 'That's just life.'"

In addition to her Saturn and mountain tattoos, the singer has at least five others that we know of, including one that's rarely seen in photos and reads her son Angelo's name in special script. Read ahead to get a closer look.

Adele's "A" Tattoo

The singer has the letter "A" written in cursive behind her ear for her son, Angelo. She also has Angelo's full name written out on her right hand.

Adele's "Paradise" Tattoo

On her left hand, Adele has a tattoo of the word, "paradise." She has not revealed the meaning behind the tattoo.

Adele's Coin and Ellipsis Tattoos

On her right wrist, the singer has a tattoo of a coin that reads "One Penny," honour of her mother whose name is Penny Adkins. Below the coin is an ellipsis which, according to Body Art Guru [5], she got to match Civil Wars singer Joy Williams.

Adele's Saturn and Mountain Tattoos

Adele got a tattoo of the planet Saturn around 2017 when she hit her Saturn return. Two years later, as she explained in her recent Vogue interview, she got a mountain on her wrist to symbolize constantly feeling like she's trying to reach the top of a mountain.
