Your Official Guide to Halsey’s 41 Tattoos and Their Meanings

Much like Justin Bieber and Pete Davidson, Halsey's entire body is covered with tattoos. But unlike Justin Bieber and Pete Davidson, Halsey’s tattoos will not cause you to gouge your eyes out and scream “WHY, GOD, WHY” at your computer. Their ink is actually cool—in contrast to my saying the word “ink”—and almost all the designs have a fascinating and often super personal backstory.

But while each of Halsey's tattoos has a deeper meaning, they almost never plan ahead. Meaning, most of these tattoos were spur of the moment decisions. Halsey told as much to Marie Claire during a 2018 cover story, which involved her literally getting a giant butterfly tattooed by JonBoy during the interview. As they put it, “I don’t like to overthink these things. I never know ahead of time what I’m going to get.”

The result of not over-thinking? A mix of random-yet-purposeful tattoos that meant a lot in that moment. Think: Marilyn Manson's face on their ribs (Halsey's a huge fan), a matching tattoo with their boyfriend Alev Aydin, a dice on her arm which she got on a whim to commemorate a show, and a casual Queen of Diamonds face tattoo (which Halsey says will "hopefully" be their only one).

Click through for all 41 (that's correct: 41) of Halsey's tattoos—that we know about—plus their significance. And yes, there are a few breakup-related cover-ups coming atcha.
