Demi Lovato got her first tattoo when she was 16, and she really hasn’t slowed down. Over the years, Lovato seems to debut a new tattoo every time she steps out on a red carpet or posts a photo on Instagram, and her latest pieces of ink seem to prove that.
On September 3, the star shared a photo on Instagram of a butterfly tattooed just below her ear. Similarly to her tattoo of the word “Survivor,” Lovato’s tattoos are known for having a deeper meaning. Tattoos like these are beautiful testament to her road to recovery and sobriety.
In a 2014 interview with iHeart Radio, Lovato revealed she doesn’t even know how many tattoos she has. “Well, it’s difficult because it’s like I lost count […],” she’s said. “Do you count the ‘Stay’ and ‘Strong’? Do you count the individual birds? And, then, I have feathers connected to an old tattoo, so I have no idea. I have a lot. It could be 10. It could be 26!” she said. “I have a very, very high pain tolerance.”
While Lovato might have lost count, we did our some investigative work to compile all of her ink. Brace yourself, because the list is extensive.
