Dove Cameron has never been one to hide her tiny tattoos [1]. With ink dating back to when she was just 14 years old — she has admitted she got it illegally and without parental permission [2] — she has expanded and grown her collection of tattoos ever since and is an open book when it comes to the most intimate meanings behind each.

Cameron has 11 known tattoos to date, with one of the most recent being of a gun with a rose on her wrist in honour of her friend Cameron Boyce [3] who died at age 20 from epilepsy. She also has a tattoo on her arm in honour of her father who passed away when she was 15.

While most of her tattoos are on areas in plain sight, she has four that are usually hidden from the public eye — most of which are matching with people like her mum and sister and even past boyfriends. One of these hidden tattoos is the saying "Matière D'étoiles" on her ankle which she got with her mum and sister — it's the French translation for "Star Stuff," a bedtime story her mum wrote for them. Another is the sketch of a sunshine between her fingers that she got with her current boyfriend Thomas Doherty [4]. She also has the Capricorn symbol on her one hip (this is the tattoo from when she was 14) and the Gemini symbol on her other hip which is her ex Ryan McCartan's sign.

Ahead, see the rest of Cameron's tattoos and learn what each one means.

Dove Cameron's "Candy Is Dandy" Tattoo

Cameron opened up about her father passing away when she was 15 and said that the phrase "candy is dandy" [7] is her first tattoo in memory of him. It's located on her inner elbow of her left arm.

Dove Cameron's "Do It For Aphrodite" Tattoo

Aphrodite was an Olympian goddess of love, beauty, and sexuality. Cameron told Refinery29 she got it because, "to do something for the raw, sexual, female natural energy of the world — and do it on behalf of that, instead of doing it from a diminished, demure P.O.V. — is both powerful and what we need right now."
