Lana Del Rey's “Nina Billie” Chest Tattoo

Inscribed on her upper left chest are the names "Nina" and "Billie." The script is done in a delicate cursive font and light ink, and refers to the first names of two of her most revered musicians — Nina Simone and Billie Holiday.


Del Rey also paid tribute to Simone by beautifully covering her songs "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" on her 2015 record "Honeymoon" and "The Other Woman" for her 2014 album "Ultraviolence." She also mentioned Holiday in her 2016 song "The Blackest Day," as she sings in the wistful chorus, "All I hear is Billie Holiday."
