Paris Jackson’s father is gone but not forgotten. On Monday, Michael Jackson’s only daughter debuted a new tattoo on her forearm featuring the cover art from her dad’s 1991 multiplatinum album Dangerous. The elaborate ink showcases his eyes surrounded by an elaborate frame of jewels and animals, including monkeys, elephants, rhinos, small birds, and a peacock.

“The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life,“ the she explained alongside an Instagram shot of the artwork. "It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exist in all of creation. Never forget your roots and always be proud of where you came from.”

Justin Lewis of Timeless Tattoo in Hollywood did the honors — though according to his Instagram, his work isn’t done just yet.

“Tattoo I did today on Paris Jackson,” he wrote beside his own posting of the same shot she had shared. “Lots of love my friend, 1 more session to go, bit more shading. #wip.”

This is hardly the first time that Paris has honored her late father with body art. In fact, she’s been racking them up at an impressive rate. Roughly six weeks ago, she celebrated her 18th birthday with a tattoo reading “Queen of My Heart” in Michael’s handwriting on her wrist.

“To everyone else, he was the King of Pop,” she explained. “To me, well, he was the king of my heart.” For the record, Justin Lewis was also the artist behind that tattoo.

She also recently paid tribute to Mötley Crüe by getting “Motley” inked on the inside of her lip (ouch!) and honored her grandmother, 85-year-old Katherine Jackson, with a bright blue flower on her inner left wrist.

“Kǎisèlín” for Grandma Katherine, done by the ink goddess herself @thetattooprincess. Love you, G-Ma,” Paris wrote next to a pic of herself alongside the tattoo artist.

Only time will tell whether Paris’s penchant for tattoos will continue going strong or if it’s just a teenage phase, but one thing is for sure: Nearly seven years after his untimely death, her father continues to be at the forefront of her mind.
