Just take Ariana Grande, for example. The internet went wild back in January 2019, when she tried to get the name of her song, “7 Rings,” in Japanese tatted onto her hand, but instead, it translated to “Shichirin,” which is a small, Japanese-style charcoal grill. Oops! Luckily, she was able to get it fixed later.

It turns out, she’s not the only one. From Harry Styles to Rihanna to Jennifer Lawrence, scroll through our gallery to uncover all the celebrities who have tattoos with major mistakes in them.

Jessie J

Fans could not stop laughing after they found out about Jessie J‘s misspelled tattoo. Not only did she spell a word wrong, but it came from her own lyrics!

“Yes, my tattoo says, ‘Don’t loose who you are in the blur of the stars,'” she wrote on Instagram. “Yes, they are MY lyrics from my song ‘Who You Are’ that I wrote. Yes, I spelt the tattoo wrong. Yes, I repeat, it’s spelt wrong. Yes, I got it done in Essex. Yes, the tattoo artist didn’t mention it. Yes, I was 18. Yes, I still don’t know the difference between ‘lose’ and ‘loose.’ Yes, it’s the reason I wear everything high waisted.”

Ariana Grande

Back in January 2019, Ari got a new tattoo on her hand, and while it definitely looked cool at first glance, fans quickly started to point out that the Japanese symbols actually translated to something much different than she originally intended.

That’s right, you guys! Ari wanted a tattoo of her song title, “7 Rings,” on her palm. Unfortunately, the Japanese symbols that were permanently inked onto her skin did not say “7 Rings” at all. In fact, the letters roughly translated to — wait for it — “BBQ Grill.” Thankfully, she had it fixed a few days later.

Harry Styles

Harry has, like, over 60 tattoos, so if we’re being totally honest, there’s bound to be a mistake somewhere. Well, we’ve found it. Apparently, the Temper Trap lyrics under his arm are supposed to read, “Won’t stop to surrender.” However, his tattoo says, “Won’t stop ’till we surrender.” Oops!

Hayden Panettiere

Fans were obsessed with Hayden‘s back tattoo! Of course, they would have like it even more if it was spelled correctly! The tattoo, which was in Italian, translates to “Live without regrets,” however, one of the words is spelled wrong!

“My tattoo means ‘Live without regrets.’ It’s not that you don’t regret things in life, but you at least try to learn from them,” she once explained. “It’s misspelled too. So I literally have to live by that advice!”

She later got the whole thing removed.

Christina Aguilera

Getting a tattoo of someone’s name isn’t always a great idea — especially if you’re trying to get it accurately translated in another language. Well, Christina thought she was getting her then-husband’s initials in Hebrew, but ultimately wound up with a tattoo that translates to “12.”

Ed Sheeran

Ed has the words “Galway Grill” tattooed on his arm in Saoirse Ronan‘s handwriting! As fans know, his song is called “Galway Girl,” but it turns out, they spelled the world “girl” wrong on purpose!

On an episode of The Late Late Show With James Corden, Ronan explained, “It’s not a mistake. Ed got up on stage two days after we did it and said that I had made the mistake, and it makes me look illiterate. I’m just here to say that it was all planned.”

Orlando Bloom

Orlando‘s arm tattoo include’s his son, Flynn‘s birthday, birth time and name spelled in Morse code. However, fans were quick to notice that the second letter of his son’s name seemed to be missing a dot — spelling “Frynn” rather than “Flynn.” Whoops! But not to worry because the actor later got the ink design fixed.
