Earlier this year, Kendall revealed to Allure that she didn't know if she'd ever get a tattoo, because she "has a weird thing about forever." Kendall must have gotten over her forever fear, because she finally took the plunge — well, maybe more like a baby step — into the tattoo world. While out with BFF Hailey Baldwin, Kendall got her very first tattoo: a small white dot on her middle finger, and if you don't look super closely, you'll totally miss it.
Abigail Breslin's Planet and Stars Tattoo

Ariana Grande's Half-Moon Tattoo
Everybody knows Ariana Grande loves getting small, sneaky tattoos that she can hide away, and she took to Instagram to show off her latest one — a half-moon on her neck, right under her ear. She didn't share what the tattoo is supposed to mean, but we're sure there's something super meaningful behind it. We guess we'll just have to wait to find out.

Katy Perry's Super Bowl Finger Tattoo
After her epic Super Bowl Halftime show, Katy got a little something to commemorate her amazing performance — another finger tattoo! This one says "49" in roman numerals in honor of Super Bowl XLIX!
KStew got her forearm tat after shooting the movie, Clouds of Sils Maria. She told Indiewire.com that her character has a ton of fake tattoos, but she liked this one so much that she got it inked for real. "This is part of 'Guernica," she said. "It's a Picasso painting that I saw when I was 18 and in Madrid. It fucking floored me and it's the first time I responded to a piece of art like that. It is just perfect for me. I love what it makes me think of. It's like, 'Keep going.'"

The Modern Family star posted a cool quote on Insta to explain the inspiring meaning behind the design: "The hummingbird, though it be but little, can travel great distances. It is a carrier of joy and lightness of being. Independent and resilient; the hummingbird lifts negative energy from your life and shows you the perfect combination of playfulness and endurance."
Katy Perry's Hello Kitty Finger Tattoo
Leave it to Katy Perry to get the cutest ink ever. Running to the store to find a temporary Hello Kitty tattoo, stat!

Cara Delevingne's "Bacon" Tattoo
Cara talks and Instagrams about bacon all the time and even attributes it to her model good looks, so it's no surprise she took her love to the next level. The model just declared her love of bacon to the world (and really who doesn't love bacon) by getting it permanently inked on the bottom of her foot!
Drake's Emoji Tattoo
Celebrity tattoo artist Dr. Woo tagged Drake in this snap on Instagram with the caption, "good times, thanks for the visit." While Drake has yet to officially confirm the new ink, he joined the debate in the comments about whether or not the emoji was praying hands or high fiving hands saying, "It will be a debate until the end of time, high five or praying hands...life is what u make it." Even though the debate may go on and on, he made it clear exactly how he feels about high fives, adding, "I pity the fool who high fives in 2014."
Janel Parrish's Bird Tattoo
Maybe Mona wasn't the tattoo type (#RIP Mona), but Janel certainly is! Including these birds, the PLL star now has a total of 11 tattoos.
Zayn Malik's Tattoo of Fiancée Perry Edwards
Zayn is no stranger to tattoos — he's literally covered in them! But if you look closely (try not to get distracted by his amazing eyes!), you'll see a tattoo on his right arm that closely resembles his fiancée Perrie Edwards. The beanie, flowing hair, and nose ring — he's totally got the Little Mix star down!
Demi Lovato's "Stay Strong" Tattoo
All of Demi Lovato's tattoos have their own special meaning, but this is one she holds near and dear to her heart. After all the struggles that Demi has overcome, the phrase is a reminder to herself to never give up.
Harry Style's Ship Tattoo
Homesick Harry got this nautical-themed tattoo to remind him of home when he's on the road. The English ship symbolizes that he is homeward-bound, but the most interesting thing about this tattoo? The singer got inked while then-girlfriend Taylor Swift looked on, and the ship looks a lot like the tattoo Tay's love interest had in the I Knew You Were Trouble music video. Foreshadowing much?
Iggy Azalea's Goddess Venus Tattoo
Unlike Iggy's tattoo honoring ex-boyfriend A$AP Rocky, this is one tat she won't regret. Iggy's had the goddess Venus on her arm for two years and says that she "still loves it."
Jason Derulo's... Remote Tattoo?

Kesha's Hand of Fatima Tattoo
Kesha's ink is a symbol that is supposed to ward of evil spirits, and it must be working because ever since she got it, the "Timber" singer's been unstoppable!
Miley Cyrus's Floyd Tattoo
Dealing with the death of her beloved dog Floyd was really hard for Miley, so she got this tat in honor of her late friend. It's a picture of Floyd (a super cute Alaskan Klee Kai) saying, "With a little help from my fwends."
Ariana Grande's French Tattoo
Ariana already has a heart on her toe, but this new tat on the back of her neck is a nod to her love of all things French. It says, "mille tendresse," which is French for "a thousand tenderness." It's a well-known phrase from the classic movie Breakfast at Tiffany's starring Audrey Hepburn. Ari's been channeling Audrey for quite sometime, so it's no surprise these are the words she chose.
Justin Bieber's Street Art Tattoo
While Biebs has lots of ink, this new one is a work of art (sort of). It's very reminiscent of famous street artist, Banksy's "Balloon Girl."
Ed Sheeran's Lizard Tattoo
Chris Leonard, who collaborated with Ed on a few songs, posted this pic of the singer's arm ink on his Instagram. The lizard on his right forearm was inspired by his new album. Wonder what kind of song inspires a lizard tattoo...
Zayn Malik's Henna-Inspired Tattoo
While actual henna tattoos are temporary, Zayn's henna-style tattoo has the potential to last a lifetime. Hope he likes it! (We do!)
Harry Styles's Heart Tattoo
Harry is literally wearing his heart on his sleeve — and we're not kidding. The anatomically correct heart is not exactly your typical tat.
Demi Lovato's Number Tattoo
Demi got this tattoo in honor of her dad, who passed away in June 2013. Although they didn't have the best relationship, she wanted to remember him in a positive way by repping his favorite number.
Katy Perry's Peppermint Tattoo
She may have gotten this a few years ago at the end of her "California Dream" tour, but what makes this tat so awesome is that a few of Katy's tourmates got the exact same one! She plans to do the same thing at the end of her "Prism" tour. We can't wait to see what her new tat will be. A horse? ... A dark horse?
Josh Hutcherson's Libra Tattoo
When Josh graced the cover of Seventeen back in November 2013, he dished all about his three tattoos. The Libra symbol on his wrist is the first one he ever got. He was 17 and his mom was right by his side. "She's a very cool mom," Josh told Seventeen.
Cher Lloyd's Spanish Tattoo
The Spanish phrase for "pocketful of dreams" was Cher's first tattoo. She went with her mom during her lunch break at school when she was just 16! Seeing that she's a mega pop star now, we're thinking that pocketful of dreams came true!
