Shocking Celebrity Tattoos and the Secret Messages Behind Them

Miley Cyrus

This pretty lady on Miley's arm is actually a co-opted work by the 20th-century artist Henri Matisse. This particular piece is from a work that Matisse titled "Dance Me to the End of Love." When Miley posted these photos on Instagram, she included the caption: "Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin. Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in. Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove. Dance me to the end of love." This is a quote from Leonard Cohen. Her reasoning behind this tattoo is vague albeit powerful.

Kaia Gerber

Gerber showed off some new ink just three days after her brother, Presley Gerber, debuted his newest face tattoo. Gerber captioned her Instagram post behind this image "Elf," which presumably has some hidden meaning between her and her brother. The angel, heart, and script arent the only bits of ink that this 18-year-old has. She also has some flowers tattooed on her wrist and some dots and shapes elsewhere. Her tattoo artist has yet to be revealed.
