Close, but no barbecue

Ariana Grande’s tattoo just gets worse

Ariana Grande tried to fix her misspelled palm tattoo but ended up making things worse.

The Thank U, Next hitmaker took to Instagram earlier this week to show off her new body art - the title of her single 7 Rings etched onto her hand in Japanese Kanji character symbols. However, lots of fans noticed that the tattoo was missing a symbol and actually translated to “shichirin,” a word for a BBQ grill.

In order to fix the error, Ariana has paid another visit to tattoo artist Kane Navasard, and on Wednesday, she uploaded a new photo of the updated ink.

“Slightly better. Thanks to my tutor for helping me fix and to @ kanenavassard for being a legend.

And to my doctor for the (numbing medication) lidocaine shots (no joke),” the star wrote alongside a black and white snap of her design on her Instagram story. “RIP tiny charcoal grill. Miss u man. I actually really liked u (sic).”

However, many social media users noted that Ariana hadn’t actually managed to fix the tattoo, as the new character symbols mean it now says “Japanese BBQ finger” or “small charcoal grill finger,” instead of “7 Rings”.
