She doesn’t have quite as many as Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus or even her boyfriend, Justin Bieber, but Selena Gomez has a new tattoo.
According to E! News , Gomez got new ink in New York City over the weekend. Tattoo artist Bang Bang, who has also tattooed other celebrities like Rihanna, Vanessa Hudgens, Katy Perry and even Justin Bieber, created the tattoo and it took about 20 minutes to complete. The 20-year-old Hotel Transylvania actress tattooed LXXVI on the back of her neck. LXXVI is the Roman numeral for 76.
So what’s the significance of 76? Bang Bang revealed it’s dedicated to a family member.
“The tattoo was a tribute to a family member who she said means a lot to her,” he told The Daily Mail “Selena was nervous it might have been painful, so she held her best friend’s hand the whole time. But she did a great job.”
And while the identity of the family member was not revealed, many fans speculate it’s for her mother Mandy, who was born in 1976.
Selena’s new neck tattoo is her second tattoo. She also has a tiny music note on her wrist, which represents her love of music.
