Ariana Grande

After trying to get "7 Rings" tattooed on her palm in Japanese, but unable to finish the job due to pain, Ariana Grande was left with the word "shichirin" on her hand which translates to little barbecue grill. Ari at the time clarified that she wasn't too upset with the result. "Also..... huge fan of tiny bbq grills," she wrote. In an attempt to fix the mistake, Ari went back under the needle.

On Instagram, she explained that she talked to her tutor Ayumi, a teacher from a Japanese language school in LA who is teaching the singer the language. With the help of some lidocaine shots (which probably numbed the area), Ariana had her tattoo artist add the "指," which means finger, and "♡" on the bottom. She hoped this would alter the kanji "輪," which means wheel or hoop, to ring, resulting in the "7 Rings" tat she desired.

Unfortunately, that didn't exactly fix the issue. Because of the formatting of the tattoo, and the fact that Japanese is read top to bottom and right to left, the tattoo doesn't really make sense anymore. Kotaku.com explains, "In English, this would be like writing 'rings' as 'ri' and then 'ngs' in another paragraph." With the addition, Ari's tat now more or less reads: small charcoal grill, finger.
