Selena Gomez and Cara Delevingne got matching watercolor rose tattoos

Fans got their first glimpse of Selena Gomez’s watercolor rose tattoo on Dec. 29, 2021, when famous tattoo artist Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy shared an Instagram post showing his work. The artist has 2.5 million followers on Instagram, and according to his website, he “has tattooed Rihanna in the tropics, Lebron James in his basement, Cara Delevingne on a roof, Katy Perry in Stockholm’s Abba Museum, and Justin Bieber on a plane at 30,000 feet.”

Bang Bang’s post showed the Wizards of Waverly Place from behind with her upper back exposed. Gomez’s short hair was slightly parted to reveal the tattoo of a large watercolor rose dripping from her neck down her back. The artist captioned the post, “Watercolor on @selenagomez Thank you for always being wonderful🖤.”

The same day he shared the photo of Gomez’s ink, Bang Bang posted a video on Instagram revealing that he did a matching tattoo for her famous friend, Cara Delevingne

The clip showed that Delevingne got an exact replica of Gomez’s watercolor rose, but the Suicide Squad star put hers on her right ribcage instead of her back. 

Bang Bang admitted in the caption that these were the first watercolor tattoos he had ever done. “Matching for @caradelevingne,” the artist wrote. “I had so much fun making these tattoos— thanks for always trusting me Cara🖤 fyi I didn’t tell them til the end that these were my first watercolor tattoos ever 🙊”
