Many don’t realized just how inked supermodel Kaia Gerber really is. The fashion industry darling actually has several small tattoos, including a heart on her bicep, a cherub on her ribs, and several tiny numerals, words, and phrases.@kaiagerber
Beyoncé has just two known tattoos, but they’re like their own accessories. Her most famous ink was originally a small Roman numeral IV on her ring finger, dedicated to husband Jay-Z, though she turned it into a regular “4” in recent years. A tiny trio of dots trails toward her nails, too.@beyonce
In 2022, Kendall Jenner made headlines by debuting this itty-bitty cowboy boot outline tattoo no smaller than a quarter on the insider of her ankle. Dedicated to her love of horses and her property in Wyoming, it’s so small but beyond stylish.@kendalljenner
Jennifer Aniston boasts a few well-placed tattoos, but her most recent addition is also one of her coolest. On the inside of her left wrist, Aniston has a small, intentionally faded “11 11” tattoo that she got with a friend a few years ago as a tribute to their lucky numbers.Steve Granitz/WireImage/Getty Images
Hidden just below her brunette waves, Lily Collins actually has two tattoos on her upper back alone — one reads “love always and forever” while the other is an outline of a woman perched on a lily pad. A very fitting choice, no?Steve Granitz/WireImage/Getty Images
Hailey Bieber’s blink-and-miss-em tattoos have been sending Instagram into a spiral for years now. She has nearly 20 in total, but her most prominent ink is concentrated at her hands — they feature tiny stars and dots alongside words, stars, numbers, and even a detailed pistol on the inside of one finger.@haileybieber
No one can make a tattoo look cooler than Rihanna can, which might be why she has so many. The mogul-musician has plenty of larger pieces all over her body, but her upper half is mainly reserved for smaller, more delicate tattoos like the cursive “rebelle fleur” snaking across the side of her neck.@badgalriri
Are you surprised Helen Mirren is tattooed? She’s explained that the small interlocking Vs on her hand represents neighborly love, the result of a drunken night out in her youth — but she says she’s still considering more ink.Vince Bucci/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Priyanka Chopra’s two (known) tattoos seem to perfectly represent what she’s all about. Her cursive wrist tattoo reading “daddy’s lil girl” is dedicated to her family, while small outlines of the seven continents decorates the inside of her other arm — a testament to her global network.@priyankachopra
Kicking off 2023 by getting a matching tattoo with Nicola Peltz, the new ink is just one of several pieces on Selena Gomez. While most of them are concealable — like praying hands on her hip, for instance — she has a semicolon tattoo on her wrist to honor mental health awareness.@selenagomez
At this point, tiny, trendy tattoos are nearly synonymous with Zoë Kravitz’s distinct aesthetic. Just like her famous parents, the star is fond of meaningful ink, like the “mamma” found on her inner arm or the Nina Simone tribute on her bicep.Gregg DeGuire/FilmMagic/Getty Images
Emma Stone is another celebrity with a tiny, touching tattoo tribute to her mother. Stone has little bird feet inked on her inner left wrist, which were actually hand-drawn by Paul McCartney after she told him “Blackbird” was her cancer-survivor mom’s favorite song.Emma McIntyre/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
A butterfly, Eevee, and a large crescent moon make up some of Ariana Grande’s big tattoos, but she has many more small designs all over. Fans routinely see her tiny leaf, sun, and cloud outline tattoos peaking out in her selfies.@arianagrande
