Celebrity tattoo artist Bang Bang revealed Selena Gomez’s latest ink: a huge watercolor flower on her upper back
Selena Gomez’s new tattoo is even more epic than fans predicted.
Celebrity tattoo artist Bang Bang teased a large design on the “Rare” singer’s upper back last week, and now he’s revealed the artwork as a huge watercolor flower, dripping between her shoulder blades.
“Thank you for always being wonderful,” Bang Bang captioned a close-up photo of the bright pink bloom via Instagram on Tuesday.
But that wasn’t the only surprise. Shortly after giving fans a close-up look at the star’s new ink, Bang Bang revealed that he also did a matching design on Cara Delevingne’s side.
“I had so much fun making these tattoos— thanks for always trusting me Cara,” the tattoo artist captioned a photo of the model. “Fyi I didn’t tell them til the end that these were my first watercolor tattoos ever.”

Delevingne and Gomez, both 29, have been friends for years, and recently shared a sweet moment on the Kiss Cam at a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden last month. The British beauty has also landed a role on the second season of Gomez’s Hulu series, “Only Murders in the Building,” which is currently filming.
Though the meaning wasn’t immediately clear — and neither Gomez nor Delevingne have posted pics or addressed the design on social media — both stars are well versed in friendship tattoos.
Gomez shares a few tattoos with some of her closest friends, while Delevingne has ink bonds with Paris Jackson, Kaia Gerber and ex-girlfriend Ashley Benson.

Though the flower is certainly one of Gomez’s largest tattoos, it’s hardly her first. She also has a pair of praying hands with a rosary on the side of her hip, which she debuted at the 2019 American Music Awards.
Additionally, the actress has “Rare” inked on the side of her neck, the date of her kidney transplant on her arm, Arabic script and more. Delevingne is similarly covered head to toe, including tats on her forearms, hands, back and feet.
