Ariana Grande got the internet talking yesterday when she debuted a new tattoo on her left hand. The ink, which appears in kanji (Japanese writing with Chinese characters), was supposed to say "7 rings" in reference to her latest single, but she ended up missing a few characters. Instead, the writing (七 輪) translates to "shichirin," which is a small charcoal grill. The Instagram post where she revealed the new body art has since been deleted.

The correct writing for "7 rings" should've been "七つの指輪," as some fans pointed out to Grande. She explained in now-deleted tweets that part of the reason why she missed some characters was due to the pain of the tattoo. (It's on her palm after all.) "Indeed, I left out 'つの指' which should have gone in between," she told one tweeter. "It hurt like f*ck 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." But Ariana didn't wait to fix her tat. Last night, she consulted her Japanese tutor, Ayumi, about editing the ink and posted their conversation on Instagram. Ayumi suggested adding "指" ("finger") above and between two of the characters, so it would read "七 指輪" ("seven finger circle"). This content is imported from Twitter.

"Slightly better," she captioned an Instagram story video posted later last night. "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 like u." This content is imported from Twitter.

Buzzfeed reports that when Japanese is read vertically from top to bottom, it's also read from right to left. Using that reading method, Ariana's edited tattoo comes out to "輪♡七指," which does not make sense in the language. But, if you read it from left to right, the phrase "七輪指♡," it roughly translates to "Japanese barbecue finger ♡," according to Buzzfeed Japan reporter Eimi Yamamitsu. Let's see if Ari changes the ink again, or leaves it be this time. This content is created and maintained by a third party, and imported onto this page to help users provide their email addresses.

Kinda! But let's rewind for a hot second. Yesterday news broke that Ari accidentally inked "BBQ grill" on her palm in a failed attempt to get a "7 Rings" tattoo. The mixup is clearly incredibly iconic, but Ariana spent last night making the tattoo kinda-sorta-work with the help of her "tutor." Instagram​ She even shared plans for the new design: Instagram And eventually revealed the new and improved tattoo in the middle of the night—along with the pretty shocking news that she had to take a shot of lidocaine from her doctor to endure the pain.

Ariana Grande recently had to correct some ink gone wrong, after followers pointed out her Japanese tattoo actually said "BBQ grill" instead of "7 rings.". (As it turns out, she may not have fixed it completely.) The tattoo, which was on her palm, was meant to spell out in Japanese the title of her new single, "7 rings." The final result, however, actually translated to a Japanese-style BBQ grill. But Grande isn't the only one who's experienced some ink gone wrong. We've rounded up the celebrities whose tattoos didn't last or didn't turn out exactly how they were supposed to. Want news from USA TODAY on WhatsApp? Click this link on your mobile device to get started Johnny Depp Who could forget Depp's romance with Winona Ryder? Their '90s liaison sparked some ink on Depp's right bicep: "Winona Forever." However, the two broke up and the tattoo didn't last. Depp has reportedly changed the tattoo to say "Wino Forever." Angelina Jolie Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton used to be an item, and what better way to cement it than with a tattoo? Like Depp, Jolie got Thornton's name tattooed onto a similar spot on her left upper arm. She has since had the ink removed, replacing the Billy Bob snake tattoo with the geographic coordinates for the birthplaces of her children. Emma Watson Despite her good intentions, Watson's ink was still missing something: punctuation. The "Harry Potter" actress showed off a tattoo for photographers at Vanity Fair's Oscar party that was supposed to read "Time's Up," better known as the social justice movement and organization supported by A-listers against sexual harassment in the workplace sparked by the #MeToo movement. Watson's tattoo, however, was missing the apostrophe in between the "e" and the "s." Watson took the error in stride, tweeting: "Fake tattoo proofreading position available. Experience with apostrophes a must." Thankfully, her tattoo was temporary, so she's not stuck with the grammar error for life. Ashley Greene Watson wasn't the only one with some forgotten punctuation. Greene has the phrase, "Life's a Dance," tattooed on the top of her foot. However, the "Twilight" actress is also missing an apostrophe. Pete Davidson A whirlwind romance ended in a whirlwind tattoo cover-up for Davidson. Grande and Davidson's romance included getting ink in honor of one another, but after the couple's public breakup, they're saying "thank u, next" to those tattoos. Davidson covered up the "Dangerous Woman" bunny ear tattoo that was just behind his ear, choosing to make it into a solid black heart instead. Grande also covered up her small tattoo of Davidson's name on her finger – choosing a heart, as well. Megan Fox At one point, Fox had a prominent tattoo of Marilyn Monroe inked on her right inner forearm. However, the "Transformers" actress got the tattoo removed after learning that the iconic blond bombshell had bipolar disorder. “It is a negative character, as she suffered from personality disorders and was bipolar," Fox said in an interview with Italian magazine Amica. "I do not want to attract this kind of negative energy in my life.” Hayden Panettiere No "ragrets." In an ironic turn of events, Panettiere got the phrase "Live without regrets" in Italian tattooed along the side of her back. She might have a regret about her ink, though. In Italian, the saying is "Vivere senza rimpianti," but on Panettiere's tattoo, the last word was accidentally spelled "rimipianti," with an extra "i." "My tattoo means 'Live without regrets,' " she said in an interview with Glamour. "It’s not that you don’t regret things in life, but you at least try to learn from them. It’s misspelled, too – so I literally have to live by that advice!"<doc-sep>
Ariana Grande is learning the hard way to be extra-careful when getting tattoos in other languages. The 25-year-old singer's new hand tattoo has caused a lot of drama. The tattoo, which appeared on her palm, was meant to spell out her new single "7 Rings," however when she first shared a snap of the ink, her fans quickly pointed out it translated to mean a Japanese style barbecue grill. Grande shared a photo of her updated tattoo on Thursday to her Instagram Stories, with her hand now featuring an additional Japanese character and a heart. She accompanied it with a photo with a note thanking the tattoo's artist, Kane Navasard, as well as her doctor and stating she had fixed the blunder. Want news from USA TODAY on WhatsApp?

And to my doctor for the lidocaine shots (no joke). Rip tiny charcoal grill. Miss you man. I actually really liked u," she wrote. Unfortunately, her tweak didn't exactly fix the problem. The tattoo still doesn't unequivocally read as "7 Rings." Grande added the character for “yubi” or finger, and based on how you read the new tattoo it could translate to “Japanese BBQ grill finger," “Ring seven finger” or even "Seven finger ring." Grande originally shared a photo of her new hand tattoo late Tuesday in a since-deleted social media post. “This felt super good @kanenavasard jk (everyone thinks this is a fake hand but it’s indeed…. my hand," she captioned the image, according to ET and The Independent. Reactions to the mistake started pouring in on social media. "Why... how... now Ariana’s tattoo reads 'Japanese BBQ finger,' " one person tweeted. "ARIANA GRANDE CHANGED HER TATTOO FROM BEING 'bbq grill' TO 'Japanese Bbq Finger' HOW DID SHE MESS UP THIS BAD," another person wrote. "I'M SCREAMING did ariana grande really tattoo the japanese kanji of bbq grill on her hand SIS.... " another said. "Ariana Grande tried to get a '7 rings' tattoo and accidentally got the name of a BBQ grill tattooed on her palm and she tried to fix it by adding another kanji but now it just says 'BBQ Grill Finger (heart emoji),' " another tweeted. "I'm losing my mind," "Ariana Grande’s new tattoo '七輪' means Japanese style bbq grill, not 7 rings," another tweeted. "If you want to know about 七輪, just google 'SHICHIRIN' " "Imagine getting bbq grill tattooed on your palm," another wrote. In a since-deleted response, Grande explained the tattoo mishap was due to pain. "Indeed, I left out 'つの指' which should have gone in between. It hurt like (expletive) n still looks tight. I wouldn’t have lasted one more symbol lmao," she tweeted. "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."
