Merely a week after debuting her brand new neck tattoo, Demi Lovato is back with fresh ink—but this time the placement is a bit more subtle.
Located on the back of her neck, Demi got a new piece by renowned tattoo artist Alessandro Capozzi. The piece is a stunning micro realist rendition (meaning a tiny yet super detailed portrait) of the “Divine Feminine.” The duo decided to represent the concept with a winged female figure clad in loosely draped clothing and she’s being carried up by three white doves.
“We created this piece together to represent a rebirth of the spirit,” Alessandro explained of Demi’s new ink in his post. “The dark wings represent the bad times, their fading away is how she moved forward. The light from within represents the inner strength necessary for the change and the doves, pulling her up, symbolize the reach of [a] higher state of consciousness. Congratulations on your inspiring journey Demi, honored to have represented this for you.”
Apart from the super-detailed finished result, Alessandro also shared a behind-the-scenes look at Demi actually getting tattooed in his L.A. studio — which was no small feat. According to TMZ, Demi got tatted on Monday, Dec. 23, from noon until 8 P.M.—meaning the singer spent a total of eight hours at the parlor. Sure, we need to take breaks into account and all that, but Demi looks unbothered in Alessandro’s snap. We all know the singer is no stranger to tattoos so it’s no wonder she sat through it like a total champ.
Pain aside, Demi seems to be over the moon with her new ink. “Thank you so much ?? it’s incredible and you are so extremely talented ??,” she commented on Alessandro’s post. Apart from the thank you message, Demi herself has not weighed in on the meaning behind any of her latest tattoos and it’s unlikely she will. Per her latest Instagram post (dated Dec. 5), the next time we hear from her, she’ll be singing.
Until then, check out the singer’s new ink below.
