Ella Mai is adding to her tattoo collection [1]. On Nov. 2, the singer paid a visit to celebrity tattoo artist JonBoy [2] to get some new pieces of art on her neck [3], ankle, and elbow.
Each tattoo was in a delicate, fine-line style [4] in all-black ink. On her neck, the words "icyline" and "percival" were stacked on top of each other. The tattoo on her ankle read "ninety four" — a nod to the year she was born. The last design on her elbow says "heart on my sleeve."
Though these aren't Mai's first tattoos — in fact, she has an impressive lion-themed arm sleeve [5], amongst others — tiny tattoos [6] make a fantastic first foray into the world of body art. Not only does the style typically use a single needle or a really thin grouping of needles and therefore, is reportedly less painful than traditional tattoos, but they are also easy to disguise if you want to keep your tattoos hidden [7].
Whether you're thinking of getting your first piece or just want to add a new dainty design to your catalogue, take a closer look at Mai's tattoos and learn their meanings, below.
