Check out what we’re calling the most memorable celebrity tattoos, including Kaia Gerber’s minimal flowers, Rihanna with tiny stars cascading down her back, and more, below. You can thank us later.
Emma Watson
While all eyes were on Watson’s baby bangs at the Oscars 2018 Vanity Fair party on March 4, eagle-eyed fans were more interested in her “Time’s Up” tattoo. The only issue? It’s grammatically incorrect, as it’s missing an apostrophe. Here’s to hoping she makes a follow-up appointment with her tattoo artist.
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott got matching miniature butterfly tattoos on the back of their ankles to celebrate the birth of their baby girl.
Hillary Duff
The Younger star recently visited the infamous Doctor Woo to add to her ever-growing number of tattoos on her inner arms. This time, she went with an old quote by Bette Davis, who responded to the then-Tonight Show’s Johnny Carson “Take Fountain,” when he asked her how a young actress should get into Hollywood, as it used to be a shortcut that leads into the Los Angeles neighborhood. We can’t be sure what significance these words hold for Duff, but regardless, it turned out rad.
Selena Gomez and Nicola Peltz
Selena Gomez joked about turning newlywed cup Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham into a “throuple” while ushering in the new year together.

Chase Hudson
