From a bumblee behind her ear to the word 'hi' on her toe , the pint-star pop princess is covered in inkings. But the 25-year-old might want to have a word with her artist over her latest inking as it contains a rather embarrassing mistake. Last week Ariana took a trip to the tattoo parlour to get a permanent reminder of her latest hit single 7 rings marked on her bod. She plumped for having the song title written out in Japanese symbols on her left palm and posted the results with her 144 million Instagram followers. But shortly after posting the snap, Ariana was forced to hit the delete button after fans made it known her tatt had a major misspelling. The real translation of her symbol 七輪" is 'shichirin' meaning small barbecue grill. Responding to the error on Twitter , Ariana admitted she was now aware of the mistake. She said: "Indeed, I left out "つの指" which should have gone in between. "It hurt like f**k n still looks tight. I wouldn't have lasted one more symbol lmao. But this spot also peels a ton and won't last so if I miss it enough I'll suffer thru the whole thing next time. (Image: Instagram) "Also.... huge fan of tiny bbq grills," she joked. Ariana was celebrating this week after 7 Rings became her second number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 in three months. Thanking fans on Twitter she wrote: "I love the people i made these songs with more than words can express. on some true, forever s**. i’m gonna cry again so this is where this caption ends lmao. thank y’all for everything. i’m externally grateful." (Image: WireImage) It comes after a turbulent 2018 for Ariana that saw her split from long-term boyfriend Mac Miller and embark on a whirlwind romance with SNL comedian Pete Davidson. Pete then popped the question after a month of dating but the pair called it off just three months later. Their break-up came weeks after the tragic death of Ariana's ex Mac, who passed away following an accidental overdose at home at the age of 26.<doc-sep>Ariana Grande doesn't seem to love barbecue grills as much as she appeared to yesterday. On Wednesday, the 25-year-old singer posted a photo of her newest tattoo, which was intended to spell out the name of her hit single "7 Rings," but as Twitter users pointed out, "七輪" actually translates in Japanese to a small charcoal grill. In lieu of her mistake, Grande explained that the tattoo was rather painful and she decided not to include the other characters needed to spell out the title of her latest track. She also made a point to inform her followers that she is a "huge fan of tiny BBQ grills." Despite her casual reaction to a very permanent error, Grande seems to have added more Japanese characters to her palm. The Singer posted a photo of her updated tattoo on Thursday, telling her fans, "slightly better. thanks to my tutor for helping me fix and to @kanenavasard for being a legend. and to my doctor for the lidocaine shots (no joke). rip tiny charcoal grill. miss u man. I actually really liked u." Image via @arianagrande Grande also included a screenshot of a conversation she had with her tutor, who advised the singer to add the character for finger "指" above and in the middle of the "barbecue grill" text. While Grande did include the Japanese character for "finger," she did not take into account her tutor's note about the placement, as her addition was inserted underneath the original text. As Japanese is read from top to bottom, and from right to left, the suggestion her tutor made wasn't arbitrary, since placement can alter the meaning of a phrase. Thus Grande's "輪♡七指" tattoo technically now translates to "Japanese BBQ finger ♡." Story continues There doesn't seem to be a consensus as to whether or not Grande's addition is better or worse, but Twitter is definitely having a field day with it.

UPDATE: JANUARY 31, 2019, AT 7:50 A.M. ET — Ariana Grande took to Instagram on Wednesday night and showed off her new and improved tattoo. “Slightly better," she wrote alongside a photo of the ink, which has a new symbol and heart shape. "Thanks to my tutor for helping me fix and to @kanenavasard for being a legend. And to my doctor for the lidocaine shots (no joke). RIP tiny charcoal grill. Miss you man. I actually really liked u." ORIGINAL STORY: Ariana Grande just wanted to get a tattoo that said "7 Rings" in Japanese kanji, but the world had other plans. And by the world, I mean the ink was just too painful for her to sit through fully. This, in a nutshell, is the saga of her latest tattoo, which I'm calling, "7 Rings—No Wait, Actually, 7 Tiny Grills." It all started with the best intentions. Grande decided to commemorate her latest banger "7 Rings," which iconically references The Sound of Music, with a new tattoo. And the title of the song scripted in Japanese kanji seemed like an easy way to go. Cut to a few hours later: Grande posts a now deleted pic of the tattoo to Instagram, and Japanese fans notice something hilarious. The ink doesn't actually translate to "7 Rings" but "shichirin," which means "small Japanese barbecue grill." Her fans, naturally, are losing it over this. Grande owned up to the mistake in a series of since-deleted tweets. "Indeed, I left out 'つの指' which should have gone in between," Grande tweeted. "It hurt like fuck n still looks tight. I wouldn’t have lasted one more symbol lmao. But this spot also peels a ton and won’t last so if I miss it enough I’ll suffer thru the whole thing next time." And just to clarify, she confirmed she's also a "huge fan of tiny BBQ grills." Ariana Grande released "7 Rings" and its accompanying music video on Friday, January 18. The song is currently number one on Billboard's Hot 100, continuing the streak she started with "Thank U, Next" in November 2018. Her fifth studio album, also titled Thank U, Next, drops Friday, February 8, and comes just months after her fourth record, Sweetener. She'll tour both albums starting this summer—right after she headlines Coachella, of course.
