The convenience of browsing and ordering products from the comfort of one’s home is indisputable. However, a lingering issue that consumers often face is the uncertainty associated with package deliveries. Waiting for a long-anticipated delivery can be a source of frustration. Fortunately, modern technology offers a solution. Online tools are now able to track package live-time and use AI forecasting to provide a level of precision that eliminates guesswork, ensuring a more satisfying online shopping experience.

Understanding the Significance of Package Tracking

Enhanced Visibility

One of the primary advantages of online shopping is the unparalleled variety it provides, offering consumers an almost limitless array of choices. However, this convenience does come with its share of drawbacks, notably the extended delays in receiving items and the lack of transparency in the delivery process, leading to uncertainties about the arrival dates of our purchases. Fortunately, the issue of uncertain delivery dates has now found a solution through the integration of online tracking services that offer real-time delivery updates, complemented by the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) for precise delivery date predictions. 

When a customer places an order, they are issued a distinctive tracking number that serves as a portal into their parcel’s journey. This tracking number provides an unprecedented level of precision, akin to a GPS system, allowing customers to know the exact location of their package at any given moment.

Real-Time Updates

Historically, package tracking was characterized by delayed, intermittent updates that left consumers uninformed for extended periods. However, modern technology has introduced real-time updates, enabling consumers to monitor their package’s progress from the moment it leaves the warehouse until it arrives at their doorstep.

AI Forecasting: Predicting Delivery Dates Accurately

Insights from Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence, commonly known as AI, has made a substantial impact across various industries, including online shopping. AI-driven algorithms utilize a multitude of data points to forecast the delivery date of packages with remarkable accuracy. These algorithms consider factors such as the consumer’s location, chosen shipping method, and historical delivery data, providing a precise estimate of the expected delivery date.

Eliminating Uncertainty

The integration of AI forecasting reduces the guesswork that consumers typically associate with package deliveries. With a reliable prediction in hand, consumers can effectively plan their schedules, eliminating the need to wait around for extended periods, unsure of when the package will arrive.

Enhancing the Seamless Shopping Experience

Convenience Redefined

The amalgamation of online tracking and AI forecasting transforms the online shopping experience into a seamless and convenient process. Consumers can enjoy a hassle-free experience by precisely tracking their packages’ locations and receiving accurate delivery predictions. This enhanced level of precision contributes to the overall efficiency of online shopping.

Meeting Customer Expectations

In a time when consumers expect not only high-quality products and gear but also an exceptional delivery experience, online retailers are actively investing in advanced tracking and AI systems. These innovations aim to meet and surpass customer expectations, delivering a superior shopping experience that benefits the end consumer.

The Ongoing Evolution of E-Commerce

Continuous Advancements

The integration of online tracking and AI forecasting reflects the continuous evolution of the e-commerce industry. With each technological advancement, the online shopping experience becomes more efficient and customer-centric, promising a bright future for e-commerce as a whole.

Competitive Edge

Online retailers that embrace cutting-edge technology gain a competitive advantage in the market. By offering consumers the assurance of precise delivery times, they build customer loyalty and trust, further solidifying their position in the e-commerce sector.

Conclusion: Embracing Precision

The progression of online shopping is evident through the incorporation of online tracking and AI forecasting. No longer do consumers need to endure the uncertainty of delivery times. Technology now empowers consumers to take control of their online shopping experience, offering transparency, predictability, and efficiency. In a world where time is of the essence, why wait when you can precisely track package deliveries? Bid farewell to uncertainty and welcome a more intelligent and convenient online shopping experience.

To stay informed about the latest advancements in package tracking technology and AI forecasting, consider using online tracking tools like Ordertracker and Parcels app.

The Top 15 Luxury Yachts for Charter https://nextluxury.com/food-travel/the-top-15-luxury-yachts-for-charter/ Fri, 06 Oct 2023 15:00:00 +0000 https://nextluxury.com/?p=323035 …]]> Any great seaside destination these days include amazing yachts floating at a safe distance from the coast. There is no other luxury in the world of travel that equals spending time on a private yacht alone with the person you love, or with family and friends. Surprisingly, the choice of yachts to charter is rather large, which makes it important to define your needs well before you choose the one that will be right for you. In this list, you will discover the top luxury yachts, for all occasions.

How to Find the Right Yacht

There is a wide variety of yachts available worldwide to cater to your specific needs, with sizes ranging from 30 m to over 100 m. Whether you prefer elegant sailing yachts, high-performance motor yachts, or yachts with spacious decks and plenty of water toys, yacht rental is the solution you will want to choose. All you have to do is take into account these criteria when you search for a motor or sailing yacht: length, number of guests, and prices. But in terms of luxury, if you decide to choose one of the 15 yachts below, we can confirm that you won’t be disappointed.

Mikhail S. Vorontsov

We thought we would start this article with a sail yacht. There is something about their elegance that seems to touch the heart of everyone that sees them passing by at sea. The Mikhail S. Vorontsov is 65 m long and was built in 2013. She can accommodate 12 guests in five staterooms, with a crew of 10. This yacht won the “Spirit of Tradition” Award at the World Superyacht event, in 2014. Its full beam master suite and two VIP cabins are what attract customers most when they are looking for a sailboat.

Geco

If you are looking to impress, choosing Geco as your luxury motor yacht rental will certainly do the trick. Built in 2020, she features a futuristic look, with fluid lines. At a length of 55 m, she fits in nicely anywhere she goes. You can bring along 11 people excluding you, and they can stay in one of the six staterooms available. To cater to them, the boat also carries 13 crew members. She is currently available to rent for a cruise in the Adriatic, the Middle East, or the Mediterranean Sea.

Rosehearty

When Rosehearty has her sails open, she almost looks like a speedboat. Every inch of her 56m length looks slick, and her elegance is noticeable from far away. The yacht can accommodate 12 guests in seven staterooms with a crew of 11. Although it was built in 2006, it got a refit in 2020 and now looks as fresh as the day she first sailed. Her wide deck space includes a side swimming platform, which guests love.

Legend

If you are looking to bring many of your friends to make them feel as if they are on a cruise ship, renting the Legend motor yacht is the right choice. Completely refit in 2021 (built in 1974), the Legend looks like a miniature version of a cruise ship. It accommodates 22 guests in 11 staterooms, with a crew of 28. No one will ever get bored on board, thanks to a spa and all the great amenities a superyacht like her can offer. She is currently available to navigate Northern Europe.

Moonlight II

Not everyone can afford to charter the Moonlight II, as its weekly rent hovers around one million euros. But there is a reason why she is part of the most popular motor yacht in the world of the rich and famous: she lacks nothing. Inside Moonlight II, you will find a cinema, a spa, and a gym as well as two Jacuzzis. She can accommodate 36 guests in 18 staterooms and a crew of 36. If you can afford this motor yacht, there is no reason why you should choose another.

Milestone

Let’s go from gigantic to small (everything being relative, of course). This 45m motor yacht is still a rental favorite today, even though she turned 15, this year. However, she was refitted on her tenth birthday, in 2008. Its stunning interior features maple and sycamore joinery, as well as high-quality marble. This is the perfect boat for those who like to live in total luxury and travel in small numbers (12 guests, six staterooms, and nine crew members). Did we mention that its sky lounge can be turned into a dancefloor?

Carpe Diem V

Many sailors are romantic people. The sensation of the wind in their hair, while at sea, brings them a powerful sense of freedom. To spend a honeymoon on the Carpe Diem V would certainly be a dream come true for them. Although this sailboat can accommodate 12 guests in six staterooms (seven crew members), there is no reason why two people could not enjoy it by themselves. She also offers a variety of toys, such as canoes and inflatables to add to the enjoyment.

Falco Moscata

From afar, the Falco Moscata almost looks like a Navy ship. Its metallic slick hulk gets her noticed, anywhere she goes. At 50 m, she is easy to maneuver into any port. With a crew of 10, and accommodating only nine guests in five staterooms, it is easy to understand the level of luxury that you will get once on board this unique motor yacht. But most importantly, her low impact on the environment makes her a favorite of those who like to keep our environment in good health, which is most people these days.

Christina O

This motor yacht is the oldest on this list (1943 and refitted in 2015), which means it has a unique and beautiful long story. Since it can carry up to 157 guests for cruising purposes (34 sleeping), it makes it a unique choice for throwing a party or celebrating an important business or personal event. Its crew of 38 handles any special requests they may be asked, in order to make sure that nothing is missing during guests’ stays on the Christina O.

Solleone

The Solleone is the perfect sail yacht, if you are looking to spend time close to other guests, as it stands at only 35m long. She shows clean lines and has wide decks and metallic grey sails. Built in 2015, it is a critically acclaimed charter yacht, which means that you need to reserve soon if you want to grab a hold of her in the months to come. She accommodates nine people in her four staterooms, with a crew of six. She currently sails the Western Mediterranean Sea.

Eugenia VII

Let’s continue with another small sail yacht. At 33 m, she is simply stunning. This is a great choice for those who love to feel the sensation of speed at sea. Its interior is elegant and comfortable, perfect for a family get-together (eight guests, four staterooms, and four crew members). You can enjoy sunbathing in the middle of the sea, or try to catch a few fish while relaxing in a way that you never knew was even possible.

Royal Falcon One

In our list, we haven’t featured a catamaran motor yacht yet. This unique-looking vessel was designed by Studio F.A. Porsche and leaves everyone breathless at first sight. In other words, she was built to impress, and she does. Royal Falcon One has space for 10 guests (in five staterooms) and carries a crew of 10, which shows the level of service that you will receive once on board this unique yacht for charter.

Samata

Are you one of those people who doesn’t like to look similar to anyone else? If that represents your personality well, it is probable that you will choose the Samata, when you decide to rent a sailboat. This traditionally designed wooden yacht sports a unique look that catches the eye. However, it fits perfectly well in its environment, as this sailing yacht navigates the South Pacific Ocean. It accommodates 10 guests in five staterooms and 14 crews.

King Baby

Its name says it all, right? This is the kind of motor yacht that young hipsters just love to rent for a holiday filled with fun. It has been called sexy, chic, and also rock’n’roll by those who had the privilege of getting on board. This tri-deck yacht caters to the needs of 10 guests, thanks to its five staterooms. There are also nine crew members on board to make sure that everyone stays safe while enjoying themselves fully.

Victorious

Let’s finish this list with a bang (not that the previous yachts weren’t all exceptional). The Victorious was the winner of the Robb Report Best of the Best and International Yacht & Aviation Awards in 2022. That in itself says it all. Its 200 square meter beach club featuring a swimming pool is part of the reason why. It also contains a hammam, a gym, a beauty salon, and a massage room. In the evening, the 12 guests can gather in the wine and cigar clubroom, which includes a fireplace, to chat about the events of the day. (featuring six staterooms and a crew of 24)

A Guide To 10 Katy Perry Tattoos and What They Mean https://nextluxury.com/tattoos/katy-perry-tattoos/ Wed, 06 Sep 2023 19:00:00 +0000 https://nextluxury.com/?p=314962 …]]> Katy Perry’s tattoos are not only a testament to her personal journey but also a canvas for her artistic expression. The pop sensation, known for her dynamic music and vibrant persona, has adorned her body with a collection of tattoos that hold significant meaning. From delicate designs to bold statements, this article looks at 10 Katy Perry tattoos that reflect various facets of her life.

One of her most recognized and famous tattoos is the strawberry on her ankle, a symbol of her breakthrough single “I Kissed a Girl.” This emblematic ink embodies her daring spirit and refusal to conform to norms. Another cherished tattoo is the Sanskrit word “Anuugacchati Pravaha,” meaning “Go with the flow.” Positioned on her arm, it serves as a constant reminder to embrace life’s journey without resistance.

Katy’s tattoos often embody connections to loved ones, such as the peppermint on her ankle as a tribute to her album Teenage Dream. These intricate artworks on her body not only tell her story but also showcase her growth, resilience, and the profound moments that have shaped her into the artist and individual she is today.

Ink Chronicles: Exploring the Meaning Behind 10 Katy Perry Tattoos

1. Sanskrit Tattoo

As mentioned in the opening paragraphs, Katy Perry and her ex-husband Russell Brand both got matching tattoos to celebrate their engagement. Inked in the ancient Indian language on the inside of their right biceps, the tattoo reads “Anuugacchati Pravaha,” which translates to “Go with the flow.”

West Ham United fan Russell Brand proposed to Perry while the two were on holiday in Jaipur, India, in December 2009. They returned to India less than a year later in October 2010 and were married in a traditional Hindu ceremony. Sadly it wasn’t happily ever after, with the two filing divorce papers in January 2012.

2. “XLIX” Tattoo

Tattoo Designs Ideas/YouTube

In 2015, Super Bowl XLIX was held at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. In the match, the New England Patriots defeated the Seattle Seahawks 28-24 in one of the all-time classic Super Bowls. The halftime entertainment wasn’t bad either, with Katy Perry wowing the 70,000+ in attendance.

To celebrate her performance, Perry got the Roman numerals “XLIX” (standing for 49) inked on the inside of her right ring finger. She got the tattoo just a few hours after taking the stage where she played a medley of her hits, including “Roar,” “Teenage Dream,” “California Gurls,” and “I Kissed a Girl” with Lenny Kravitz.

Getting tattoos after gigs has become the norm for Perry, who often gets ink with her team to celebrate the end of a successful tour.

3. Lotus Flower Tattoo

Of all her tattoos, this is one Katy Perry has not spoken about. It’s believed she got the outline of a Lotus flower on her right wrist in 2012. According to Byride, lotus flower tattoos “represent rising above temptation and becoming a better person.”

4. “Jesus” Tattoo

The first tattoo Katy Perry ever got inked was the word “Jesus” on her left wrist. Written in cursive font, Perry got the tattoo not long after she turned 18. Growing up in a religious family—both her parents are evangelical ministers—it’s no surprise Petty got a tattoo referencing her faith.

Perry opened up about her beliefs in a 2019 interview with Paper. Suffering from situational depression after her 2017 album Witness received less than stellar reviews, she attended a week-long therapy program at Hoffman Process. “I’ve never felt closer to God,” she explained. “I’ve never felt so much release and relief.”

5. Strawberry Tattoo

On the inside of Katy Perry’s left ankle is a cute tattoo of a smiling strawberry. This is one of several cartoon-style tattoos Perry has on her body. The “Firework” singer took to Twitter in July of 2009 to let her fans know she was “Thinking bout getting my 2nd tattoo 2night! I wanna get a cartoon-ish strawberry to celebrate this amazeballs past 15 months…”

Soon after she got the tattoo of one of her favorite fruits. Strawberries have been a big part of Perry’s musical career, often appearing as stage props on her tours or as part of her costumes.

6. Peppermint Tattoo

Katy Perry got a smiling tattoo of a peppermint on her right ankle to match the strawberry on her left. Steal Her Style reports that the smiling peppermint tattoo inked in November 2011, highlights her candy-themed Teenage Dream album. The smiling strawberry tattoo is said to reference her One of the Boys album.

As previously mentioned, Perry and her crew often get tattoos at the end of each tour. It’s believed this was the case with the peppermint tattoo that many of the touring party got along with Perry. Steal the Style reports that famous tattooist Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy was flown out by Perry to ink the peppermint tattoo on her and her crew.

7. Hello Kitty Tattoo

A big fan of the fictional character Hello Kitty, Perry was ecstatic when she found out they shared the same star sign. Both are Scorpios, with Perry born on October 25 while Hello Kitty came to life on November 1.

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Hello Kitty, Perry got a tattoo of the feline on her finger on October 30, 2014.

8. Cherry Blossom Tattoo

Tattoo Designs Ideas/YouTube

Adding to her collection of cartoon-style tattoos is this tatt of a cherry blossom that’s also found on Perry’s right ankle. Katy Perry got the ink in November 2013. Nobody is quite sure of the meaning behind the colorful tattoo, but another of her ex-partners, John Mayer, also has a similar tattoo design on his wrist, leading many to believe the two got the tattoos together.

9. Prism Tattoo

After touring the world promoting and performing songs off her Prism album, Perry got this tattoo to commemorate the tour. Another ankle tattoo—this one on her left ankle—the prism tattoo features a smiling face and a rainbow color scheme.

Like the majority of her tattoos, this one was inked by Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy. He accompanied Perry on tour for several weeks, tattooing Perry and her crew. “I always bring Bang Bang in for my most special tattoos—the ones my touring team and I get at the end of a tour to commemorate another successful journey together,” Steal the Style documents. “Each time, he’s created the definitive symbol of that era of my life.”

10. Saturn Tattoo

After the completion of her “Witness Tour” in 2018, Perry and many of her crew got this tattoo of Saturn inked on their body. Changing things up, Perry flew out Los Angeles-based tattoo artist Dr. Woo to Sydney instead of using her usual tattooist Bang Bang.

The tattoo is very different from the cartoon artwork of Bang Bang and features the planet Saturn as an eye in an intricate design. Taking to Instagram to share the tattoo, Perry wrote; “The end of tour tattoo tradition continues with #4 by the gentle precisionist @_dr_woo_ The planet in the middle is Saturn as this journey has taught me many lessons with a few tears along the way BUT I am happy to report a sense of real resilience as we wrap. I share this insignia with 45 other tour mates and moreover an incredible year of memories with over 100 beautiful & kind humans and a numerous amount of gracious attendees #2moretogo #WitnessTheTour #Resilient 👁❤

Brad Pitt tattoos have become more than just ink etched onto skin; they embody the stories, beliefs, and experiences that have shaped the actor’s life.

While Brad Pitt’s cinematic journey has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry, it’s his literal marks of ink that offer a unique window into his personal narrative. From subtle and symbolic designs to larger, more intricate pieces, each tattoo seemingly whispers a fragment of Pitt’s life story.

Join us as we embark on a journey through the artistry adorning Pitt’s skin, deciphering the tales they tell and the impact they’ve had on both his life and the realm of celebrity culture.

A Guide To 10 Brad Pitt Tattoos and What They Mean

1. “Absurdities de I’ Existence” Tattoo

Top Ten Spot/YouTube

Believed to be one of the first tattoos Brad Pitt ever got, “Absurdities de I’ Existence” is a French saying that translates to “Life is absurd.” The Seven actor got the ink in a small script on his left forearm that’s only viewable when he is wearing a short sleeve shirt. 

2. The Ice Man Tattoo

brad-pitt-tattoos-2
Top Ten Spot/YouTube

Right near his “Absurdities de I’ Existence” tattoo, Pitt got the outline of Ötzi the Iceman tattooed. Also known as the Frozen Fritz, Ötzi the Iceman is the oldest mummy in the world, believed to have been alive sometime between 3350 and 3105 BC. His body was found in the Alps on the border of Austria and Italy in 1991 by two German tourists. 

Pitt has never revealed why he got the tattoo but underneath the image of the Iceman he is the word “Invictus,” which means “unconquered,” so maybe he got the ink as a form of defiance that he will never be brought down by the negativity of others. Or maybe he’s just a history buff?

3. Skull and Rhinoceros Tattoos

News Station/YouTube

These two tattoos are some of the newest ink Pitt got done. He revealed the outline of a human skull on his left leg and the outline of a rhinoceros head on his right leg while wearing a skirt at the Berlin premiere of Bullet Train in 2019. 

4. Angelina Jolie’s Birthdate Tattoo

Everyone knows about the tumultuous relationship between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The two met on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith when Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston. Sparks flew between the pair and Pitt soon divorced Anitsion and hooked up with Jolie, with the two eventually becoming husband and wife and having six together, three adopted and three naturally conceived.

But like so many Hollywood romances, it all ended in tears when the two divorced in 2019. But before that happened Pitt got Jolie’s birthday tattooed on his lower abdomen. 

Pitt got Jolie’s birthday, June 4, 1975, inked as numbers (6/4/75) in Khmer, the native language of Cambodia, which is the homeland of Jolie’s first child, Maddox. He no longer has this tattoo, getting it lasered off once the two broke up. 

5. Family Initials Tattoo

brad-pitt-tattoos-5
News Station/YouTube

Before his home life when tits up, Pitt got this tattoo as a tribute to his brood. He has a long vertical line along his forearm that is intersected by a horizontal line just under his wrist, forming a cross. To the left side of this is the letter “A” representing Angelina Jolie, and to the right are the first letters of his six children: “M” for Maddox, “P” for Pax, “Z” for Zahara, “S” for Shiloh, “K” for Knox and “V” for Vivienne.

6. “Alpha” and “Omega” Tattoos

Covering up the area where he once had Jolie’s birthdate tattooed, Pitt has the words “Alpha” and “Omega” written on his lower torso. These two words are the first and last words of the Greek alphabet. 

7. Rumi Tattoo

brad-pitt-tattoos-7
News Station/YouTube

This short poem is etched onto the skin on Pitt’s right forearm. Written in ancient script, the tattoo is the English translation of a text by Jalal al-Din Mohammad ibn Balkhi, otherwise known as the famous Turkish wordsmith Rumi. It reads: “There exists a field, beyond all notions of right and wrong. I will meet you there.” How romantic. 

8. Angelina Scribble Tattoo

News Station/YouTube

Another reminder of his time with Jolie is this tattoo on Pitt’s back. At first thought to be a map of New Orleans, this turned out to be the wrong conclusion. While it looks like a bunch of random lines drawn on the Interview With a Vampire’s back, they were actually designed by Jolie, which is why Pitt had them inked on his body. 

9. Motorbike Tattoo

brad-pitt-tattoos-9
News Station/YouTube

A known lover of motorbikes, Pitt decided to show his passion for two-wheeled machines by getting one tattooed on his left arm. The design is of a motorcycle from the front with a fat tire. 

10. Silhouette Tattoo

Right next to the poem by Rumi is a tattoo of a man’s silhouette. It depicts a black ink man standing sill with his shadow in front of him.

The first tattoo Cara Delevingne ever got was of a lion’s face back in 2013. Taking to Instagram to show off her new ink, the star of Suicide Squad posted a picture of her right index finger featuring a lion tattooed by celebrity tattooist Keith Scott “Bang Bang” McCurdy.

I just used to climb anything.” But, Cara says, “I lost that [sense of fearlessness] when I started modeling. When you work a lot and don’t really know what you want, you just do it because the work is there. I lost that inner fire, so I got the lion to bring that back in my mind.”

2. “CJD” Tattoo

Like so many people, Delevingne caught the tattoo bug after getting her first piece of ink. She quickly followed up the lion tattoo by getting her initials, “CJD,” tattooed on the side of her right hand. It stands for Cara Jocelyn Delevingne, which is her full name. This was another tattoo designed and inked by Bang Bang

3. “Made In England” Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-3
Tattoo World/YouTube

Delevingne’s third tattoo was once again inked by Bang Bang and is a reference to her country of birth, England. On the bottom of her left foot, she got the words “Made In England” tattooed.

As reported by Body Art Guru, Delevingne had this to say about the tattoo, “You’re looked through, you’re not looked at, you are treated as a kind of mannequin. I got a tattoo saying ‘MADE IN ENGLAND’ on my foot to represent that I felt like a doll for so long. Because you are just a kind of puppet, you know, entertainment. You kind of feel that you need to have no soul really, to do that job, a little bit.”

4. “XII” Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-4
Tattoo World/YouTube

Delevingne has the Roman numeral XII (12) inked on the right side of her torso. The model was born on August 12, 1992, with the number representing her birthday. She also considers it her lucky number. The tattoo was inked by Daniel Tucci while Delevingne was visiting Italy.

5. “Silence” Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-5

Another of her tattoos inked by Bang Bang in 2013, this one is the word “Silence” tattooed on her right wrist. Delevingne uploaded an image of the tattoo to Instagram with the caption, “Silence speaks when words can’t @bangbangnyc”

6. “Pandora” Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-6
Tattoo World/YouTube

On her upper left arm is the word “Pandora.” This is a tribute to her mother, whose name, you guessed it, is Pandora.

7. Sak Yant Tattoo

Tattoo World/YouTube

Sak Yant tattoos are a form of tattoo that originated in Southeast Asia. They are different from modern ink in that they are applied with a bamboo needle. These intricate tattoos have many different meanings but are generally designed as symbols that offer protection from evil deities and can enhance your luck.

Delevingne has a Sak Yant tattoo on her upper back just below her neck although there is no information regarding its meaning. She got a recent addition to the tattoo, getting a set of eyes inked on the nape of her neck just above the Sak Yant tattoo.

8. “Bacon…” Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-8
Tattoo World/YouTube

Feet tattoos are known to be painful, but that hasn’t stopped Delevingne from getting them. Along with “Made In England” on the bottom of her right foot, the model has “Bacon…” inked on the bottom of her left foot.

“The tattoo was inspired by my love for bacon, obviously,” she told The Cut. “I think of bacon every five seconds. It’s the meatiness. I love the salt. Bacon is love to me. Bacon will always love me back. It’s unconditional.”

9. Diamond Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-9
Tattoo World/YouTube

While often covered by her hair, when she wears it up you can see the diamond tattoo Delevingne has inside her right ear. According to Near Tattoos, a diamond tatt “symbolizes strength, beauty, purity, and unbreakable character.”

You will also notice several small stars Delevingne has inked around her ear. These form the constellation known as the Southern Cross.

10. Heart Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-10
Tattoo World/YouTube

Delevingne got a heart inked in red on the pinky finger of her left hand. Our Mindful Life explains that heart tattoos “represent love, passion, affection.”

11. “DD” Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-11
Tattoo World/YouTube

Cara Delevingne and good friend Jordan Dunn both got the letters “DD” tattooed on their waists. Inked by Bang Bang when the two were together in New York, the letters obviously stand for Delevingne and Dunn.

12. Wasp Tattoo

Tattoo World/YouTube

Joining her lion tattoo on her right hand is a wasp tattoo Delevingne got on her index finger.

13. Coat of Arms Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-13
Tattoo World/YouTube

Delevingne has not spoken about this tattoo, which is of a coat of arms with the letter “D” inked inside it. It could be the coat of arms of her family name or just a design she liked. Found on her left ribcage, the tattoo was inked by famed tattoo artist Dr. Woo.

Just above the coat of arms are five white dots which are said to represent members of her immediate family.

14. “Breath Deep” Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-14
Tattoo World/YouTube

In 2014 Delevingne caught up with Bang Bang once again for another tattoo. This time she got the words “Breath Deep” inked on her right arm. This is another tattoo Delevingne hasn’t spoken about, although it does stand out due to the fact that it was tattooed using white ink and not black like most tattoos on her body.

15. “Don’t Worry Be Happy” Tattoo

Don’t Worry Be Happy” was a song by Bobby McFerrin released in 1988 that became the first acapella song to top the Billboard Hot 100. The song is about enjoying life and not worrying about things, something that must have resonated with Delevingne as she got the title of the song (which is also the chorus) inked below her breasts.

Under her right breast is “don’t worry” and under her left breast is “be happy.” Both are written in cursive and are an interesting addition to Delevingne’s collection of tattoos.

16. White Dove Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-16
Tattoo World/YouTube

This is another small tattoo found on the inside of Delevingne’s left index finger. Inked in white, the design is of a dove which “is symbolic of peace and innocence” according to Tattoos With Meaning.

17. “AC” Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-17
Tattoo World/YouTube

They say you should never get your partner’s name tattooed, so Delevingne went for the initials. “AC” stands for Annie Clark, the real name of musician St. Vincent, who Delevingne dated. The two were an item between June 2015 and September 2016 before going their separate ways.

Thankfully the tattoo is small and in a hard-to-see place on the inside of her left pinky finger.

18. Snake Skeleton Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-18
Tattoo World/YouTube

Tattooist Dr. Woo inked a snake skeleton that slithers along Delevingne’s left hand. She got the ink sometime in 2016 not long after her ex St. Vincent was spotted with Kristen Stewart.

Speaking to The Sun about the tattoo, she had this to say; “At the end of it it says feral because I think I am, and it’s about reinvention, shedding of old skin, new beginnings, new life.”

19. “A” Tattoo

Not content with getting ex-partner St. Vincent’s initials tattooed on her body, Delevingne also got a tribute to another former girlfriend. On her ribcage near her coat of arms tattoo, Delevingne got a red letter “A” inked. This stands for her girlfriend of two years Ashley Benson, with the two dating from June 2019 until April 2020.

20. Geometric Flower Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-20
Tattoo World/YouTube

Only visible when her head is shaved, this tattoo of a geometric flower is on the back of Delevingne’s skull. It was designed by hairstylist Mara Roszak.

21. “Solemate” Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-21
Tattoo World/YouTube

Kaia Gerber and Cara Delevingne got matching “Solemate” tattoos on the inside of their feet. Gerber is an American model and actress and a good friend of Delevingne.

22. Red Rose Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-22
Tattoo World/YouTube

Speaking of matching tattoos, Delevingne and Paris Jackson also got similar ink, with both having a red rose inked on their arm. The two got the tattoos after the Oscars in 2021.

23. Smiley Face Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-23
Tattoo World/YouTube

Delevingne’s love of foot tattoos continued when she got a smiley face tattooed on the bottom of her big toe. Unlike her other tattoos, this one was inked by an amateur, her Suicide Squad co-star Margot Robbie. The Australian is known to give her co-stars tattoos and decide to ink a smiley face on Delevingne. She talked about her work as a tattooist on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

“We did toe-mojis, we were calling them, where we’d tattoo the bottom of our toes with, like, little faces,” she said. “But, uh, the thing about tattooing the bottom of your toes is that it rubs off after a while, so we have to keep redoing them.”

24. Artwork Tattoo

In 2018, Bang Bang went to work on Delevingne again, this time coming up with something quite beautiful. He tattooed an image of a naked red-headed woman lying with a tiger in a jungle. The colored tattoo is based on artwork by Emil Lundgren and has pops of green, red, orange, black, and white.

25. Elephant Tattoo

cara-delevingne-tattoo-25
Tattoo World/YouTube

This tattoo is one that means a lot to Delevingne. It is the image of an elephant on her right forearm. The reason it is so important is that it is a reminder of her grandmother who passed away.

Amidst his many accomplishments, including dating Britney Spears, selling over 88 million records, winning ten Grammy Awards, and crossing over from music to movies, Timberlake’s choice of body art has garnered significant attention and speculation. In this illuminating article, we delve into the enigmatic world of seven Justin Timberlake tattoos, uncovering the stories behind seven of his most prominent inked creations.

Tattoos have long served as visual narratives, offering a glimpse into an individual’s psyche, values, and personal experiences. For the former boy band member of NSYNC, each tattoo etched into his skin seems to carry a profound significance, weaving a tapestry of emotions and memories that span his evolution from Mickey Mouse Club member and teen idol to seasoned entertainer who has starred in movies such as Alpha Dog, The Social Network, Friends With Benefits, and Palmer.

From the crisp lines of his intricate sleeve to the more discreet markings that grace his body, every tattoo reveals a unique chapter of Timberlake’s life journey. These indelible imprints spark curiosity and intrigue, prompting us to explore the intricate stories woven into their designs and placements.

Join us as we embark on a guided tour through the captivating world of Justin Timberlake’s tattoos, deciphering their hidden meanings and unraveling the rich tapestry of his life, one inked masterpiece at a time.

A Guide To 8 Justin Timberlake Tattoos and What They Mean

1. Guardian Angel Tattoo

Tattoo For A Week/YouTube

The largest ink on Justin Timberlake’s body is found on his back. It’s also his most personal. The tattoo is of a baby angel surrounded by a feather wing design with the word “Guardian” above the baby angel and in a scroll in cursive below the words “Of the Wicked.”

The baby angel bears the initials of Timberlake’s mother, Lynn Bomar Harness, who is his biggest supporter, while the “Guardian” script is a tribute to his twin sister who died at birth.

2. Cross Tattoo

Tattoo For A Week/YouTube

On Justin Timberlake’s upper left should is an impressive cross tattoo. While he hasn’t spoken about the Celtic cross tattoo design, Timberlake grew up in the American Bible Belt in the southern city of Memphis.

His father, Charles Randall Timberlake, was a Baptist church choir director who raised the “Cry Me a River” singer in the Christian faith. Although he grew up in and around the church, Hollowverse reports that these days Timberlake is “more spiritual than religious.” Despite his lack of Christian faith, that didn’t stop him from getting married to his wife, Jessica Biel, in an Italian church.

3. Astral Band Tattoo

Justin Timberlake is an astrology fan, so he got his astral sign of the Zodiac, Aquarius, inked around his left leg between his ankle and knee. It’s not the most attractive tattoo, but the red shading does give it a unique look.

4. NSYNC Logo Tattoo

Tattoo For A Week/YouTube

It should come as no surprise that Justin Timberlake has a tattoo referencing his time in the boy band NSYNC. All members of the group got the tattoo, which is of flames colored red, with Timberlake getting his ink on his lower right leg.

5. Velvet Rope Tattoo

Tattoo For A Week/YouTube

Below the flaming NSYNC logo tattoo is a velvet rope tattoo (very similar to the red carpet seen at movie premiers and award shows) that stands for the popularity the band experienced.

6. “JRT” Tattoo

justin-timberlake-tattoos-6
Tattoo For A Week/YouTube

At the front of the tattoo design are the letters “JRT,” which are Timberlake’s initials. Why people feel the need to tattoo their initials on their bodies is a mystery, but we are sure JT is a big fan of the artwork.

7. Marionette Tattoo

On the back of his lower right leg is another tattoo, this one is the image of a marionette. It’s another reference to his time in NSYNC, as fans will remember the band acting as puppets in the music videos for hit songs “Bye Bye Bye” and “It’s Gonna Be Me.”

While the NSYNC logo, velvet rope, marionette, and “JRT” tattoos have much meaning for Timberlake, they aren’t of the highest quality, which is why he may be happy they are not often in plain view.

8. Chinese Symbol Tattoo

This small tattoo is on Justin Timberlake’s left leg and is the Chinese symbol for “music.” It’s obvious he got this tattoo to show his love for music.

17 Selena Gomez Tattoos: Unveiling the Artistic Story Behind Each Ink

1. Music Note Tattoo

selena-gomez-tattoos-image-1
Celeb DeLux/YouTube

The first tattoo Selena Gomez ever got was a small musical note on her right-hand way back in 2012. As the tattoo is tiny and nobody was quite sure what it was, Gomez revealed all when she chatted with Access Hollywood at a pre-Oscars party.

“It’s a music note,” she explained. “Everybody thought that it was a heart for some reason, but music is a big influence in my life.”

“I was named after a singer (Selena Quintanilla-Perez), I’m a singer, and a lot of other personal reasons,” Gomez continued. “So, that’s what I got.” Makes perfect sense.

2. “LXXVI” Tattoo

selena-gomez-tattoos-image-3
Celeb DeLux/YouTube

Not long after getting her first ink, Selena Gomez got her second tattoo. On the back of her neck, she has the Roman numeral “LXXVI,” which stands for 1976. Gomez has never come out directly and talked about the tattoo, but 1976 is the year her mother, Mandy Teefey, was born, so most fans believe it is a tribute to her.

Gomez visited New York tattooist Keith Scott “Bang Bang” McCurdy, who was more than happy to ink the Only Murders in the Building star.

3. “G” Tattoo

selena-gomez-tattoos-image-3
Celeb DeLux/YouTube

While she does have several large tattoos, the majority of Selena Gomez’s ink is small designs or phrases. One of these is the letter “G” which you can see on the left side of her neck, just under her ear. The tattoo is the first letter of her younger sister Grace and a tribute to her, something Gomez revealed in an interview with Refinery29.

In that same conversation, she also talked about her first tattoo, the musical note, explaining that she “wanted something small to test the waters” and is “now (I’m) addicted.”

4. “X31” Tattoo

selena-gomez-tattoos-image-4
Celeb DeLux/YouTube

Another tiny tattoo, this design is of the letter “X” alongside the numbers “3” and “1.” Located on her upper left thigh, an article by Refinery29 pointed out that the tattoo is meant to signify a friend who she meet eight years before getting the ink.

5. Prayer Hands Tattoo

selena-gomez-tattoos-image-5
Celeb DeLux/YouTube

Made famous by Drake, the image of praying hands has been around for centuries. Selena Gomez is obviously a fan of the image as she got the praying hands with a rosary tattooed on her left thigh.

Celebrity tattooist Bang Bang was once again responsible for the tattoo that Gomez first revealed on Instagram on November 24, 2019.

6. “God Who Strengthens Me” Tattoo

selena-gomez-tattoos-image-6
Celeb DeLux/YouTube

Down her right thigh, Selena Gomez has the phrase “God Who Strengthens Me.” This is another tattoo she got in 2012 but kept hidden for almost a year, something she told Ryan Seacrest during a 2013 radio interview. She explained that the sentence is inspired by her favorite Bible passage, Philippians 4:13, which is, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

7. “Sunshine” Tattoo

selena-gomez-tattoos-image-7
Celeb DeLux/YouTube

Selena Gomez got the word “Sunshine” tattooed on the right side of her foot in 2016. She has never spoken about the ink work, but it was included as part of a temporary sticker pack fans could buy during her “Revival” tour. The sticker pack included all seven of her tattoos and allowed fans to see what they would look like with Gomez’s ink.

8. “Love Yourself First” Tattoo

selena-gomez-tattoos-image-8
Celeb DeLux/YouTube

Another tattoo inked at the famed Bang Bang Tattoo studio by its owner Bang Bang McCurdy, the words “Love Yourself First” are tattooed in Arabic on the upper right side of Selena Gomez’s back. While she hasn’t talked about the tattoo, Bang Bang did in an interview with E! News and revealed all.

“Its meaning translates to ‘Love Yourself,'” he told the news outlet. “Selena already had it written out how she wanted. The tattoo is about 4 inches and didn’t take too long, probably about 30-45 minutes. The longest part is laying it out. We played with it a bit laying it out, until we found the perfect spot.”

As for Gomez’s thoughts on the final piece? “She loved it; she flipped out!” Bang Bang said.

9. Semicolon Tattoo

selena-gomez-tattoos-image-9
Celeb DeLux/YouTube

There’s nothing funnier than going to your local tattoo parlor and getting matching tattoos with your mates. This is exactly what Selena Gomez did in 2017 when she and the stars of the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, Alisha Boe and Tommy Dorfman, got semicolon tattoos on their wrists.

Gomez was a producer on the show and while the tattoo bonds the three together, it’s also the logo of the Semicolon Movement, an organization dedicated to increasing the awareness of mental health and suicide prevention around the world. All three are known to be advocates of this organization and have spoken about their own mental health battles.

10. “6/19/17” Tattoo

selena-gomez-tattoos-image-10
Celeb DeLux/YouTube

Selena Gomez fans are undoubtedly aware of the significance of the date “6/19/17.” That was the date Gomez had her kidney transplant. Diagnosed with Lupus during her early 20s, Gomez suffered kidney failure in 2017 and was rushed to hospital. Thankfully actress and friend Francia Raisa (although the two aren’t as close anymore) donated one of her kidneys to help Gomez. She got the tattoo to mark the day she had the operation.

11. “1” Tattoo

selena-gomez-tattoos-image-11
Celeb DeLux/YouTube

Another matching tattoo, both Selena Gomez and her friend Courtney Lopez have the number “1” tattooed on the right side of their torsos. The first glimpse fans had of the tattoo was when Gomez posted a photo of her and Lopez on Instagram showing off their ink.

12. “4”

selena-gomez-tattoos-image-12
Celeb DeLux/YouTube

Selena Gomez and her three closest friends—Courtney Lopez, Ashley Cook, and Raquelle Stevens—got the number “4” tattooed on different parts of their bodies back in 2018. Taking to Instagram to show off the ink, Gomez also provided a caption explaining the meaning of the number “4.”

“#4 because these women have stayed by my side for 7 years,” she wrote in the caption. “4, because you are my 4 for the rest of my life. I love you ladies. You all inspire me to be better, stronger, closer to god and we have lived the most INSANE story together already. Can’t wait for 50 more!!”

13. “Rare” Tattoo

selena-gomez-tattoos-image-13
Celeb DeLux/YouTube

On the left side of her neck, Selena Gomez has the word “Rare” tattooed. This is the name of her third solo album released in 2020. She got the tattoo in the lead-up to the album release, with tattooist Bang Bang once again responsible for the ink.

14. Arrow Tattoo

selena-gomez-tattoos-image-14
Celeb DeLux/YouTube

Selena Gomez and Julia Michaels, another close friend of Gomez, got matching arrow tattoos on their wrists in 2019. If you aren’t aware of who Michaels is, she’s a fellow singer and songwriter who has collaborated with Gomez on several songs, including “Lose You to Love Me” and “Bad Liar.”

The two got tattoos after Gomez performed with Michaels at a concert in Los Angeles, with the two dueting on the track “Anxiety.” They got the ink backstage, with tattooists London Reese and Brad Reis tattooing the duo.

While the arrows appear to be pointing in different directions, when the two are holding hands, the arrows point at each other. How cute.

15. Cross Tattoo

selena-gomez-tattoos-image-15
Celeb DeLux/YouTube

On her left collarbone, Selena Gomez has a tiny cross inked. The tattoo was once again done by Bang Bang who revealed the ink on his Instagram with a video. It’s a rather simple and unintrusive tattoo and one that fits in well with the other designs on her body.

16. “Angel” Tattoo

selena-gomez-tattoos-image-16
Entertainment Tonight/YouTube

Selena Gomez and good friend Nicola Peltz, who is married to Brooklyn Beckham, the son of footballing great David, got the word “Angel” tattooed in cursive font on their arms.

17. Rose Tattoo

selena-gomez-tattoos-image-17
Celeb DeLux/YouTube

The largest of all Selena Gomez’s tattoos is the pink rose at the top of her back. Inked by her favorite tattooist, Bang Bang, the rose is under the Roman numerals on her neck. The watercolor rose appears to be dripping down her back and is apparently inspired by actress and model Cara Delevigine.

“It means a couple of different things,” Gomez said on “Live with Kelly and Ryan.” “Me and Cara, one of my best friends—I was maybe 16 when I met her—she calls me Rosebud. So it’s a nickname. And I’ve always wanted a rose and now I got one. And I love it.”

A Guide To 5 Ryan Gosling Tattoos and What They Mean

1. The Giving Tree Tattoo

If you’ve ever seen images of Ryan Gosling topless, you’ve no doubt noticed the ink on his left shoulder. The tattoo is an image taken from the cover of the children’s book The Giving Tree. Written and illustrated by Shel Silverstein, the book was first released in 1964 and caused quite a stir, with the School Library Journal calling it “one of the most divisive books in children’s literature.”

It depicts the relationship between a young boy and an apple tree, which sounds fine, but when looked at closely, can be interpreted in a negative way. Whatever your thoughts on the book are, it played a special part in Gosling’s childhood, as it was a book his mom often read to him.

Although his parents divorced when he was just 11, the memory of his mom reading him The Giving Tree remains a positive one, so Gosling decided to get the book’s cover art tattooed on his arm. While he enjoyed the book as a youngster, he might have different thoughts these days. When asked about the tattoo by Vulture in 2010, Gosling said, “That story’s the worst… I don’t want to be the tree.”

2. Cactus Tattoo

If you’ve ever thought about giving yourself a tattoo, this design on Ryan Gosling’s left forearm should do enough to sway you from trying. What looks like a tattoo of a cactus is actually meant to be a monster’s arm ripping out a bleeding heart. As he explained in an interview with The Guardian, “A lot of people think it’s a cactus. It’s become a bit of an inkblot: you see what you want to.”

To be fair to Gosling, the tattoo isn’t half bad for a home job. Next to the image are the initials “W.H.R.” which stands for Werewolf Hearts Records. Gosling obsessives will know that Werewolf Hearts Records was the label that released the debut album by Dead Man’s Bones, Gosling’s band.

3. Ghostly Lady With a Skeleton Tattoo

The majority of Ryan Gosling’s ink is located on his left arm, with this tattoo hidden on the inside of the upper part of his left forearm. Seen best in Place Beyond the Pines, the tattoo is of a ghostly lady lying down with a skeleton. It’s a crudely drawn tattoo and one that Gosling hasn’t spoken about, although that hasn’t stopped the internet from guessing what it depicts.

Several online publications believe the tattoo is of famous actress, Theda Bara, who was a star in the early days of cinema. Between 1908 and 1926 Bara starred in over 40 films and was known for wearing revealing clothing, making her one of the first on-screen sex symbols.

4. Barcode Tattoo

Ryan Gosling’s barcode tattoo is, you guessed it, found on his left arm. Located on his left wrist, to be precise, this is another homemade tattoo Gosling gave himself. It is also another of his tattoos that doesn’t seem to have any meaning.

When asked about it during another interview with The Guardian in 2007, Gosling laughed and admitted it was a home job. “A tattoo should never be meaningful, because at a certain point you’re going to hate it, and it might as well make you laugh.” 

5. “Esme” Tattoo

Throughout his time in the spotlight, Ryan Gosling has dated some of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. Sandra Bullock and Rachel McAdams are two of the high-profile women to have entered Gosling’s life, but the Canadian actor is now happily loved up with Eva Mendes. The two met on the set of Place Beyond the Pines in 2011 and have been together ever since. Although they aren’t married, they have two daughters together, Esmeralda and Amada.

In recognition of Esmerelda, his firstborn, Gosling got “Esme” tattooed on the knuckles of his left hand. It’s believed he got the tattoo sometime in 2015, a year after Esmeralda’s birth.
