The significance of Dua Lipa’s tattoos
Lipa opened up on Ask Anything Chat about the meaning behind her tattoos.
“My first ever tattoo that I got, it says ‘Sunny Hill,’ and that’s the neighborhood my parents grew up in Kosovo,” she said. “Then my second tattoo was because this one [the first tattoo] had meaning, and I just wanted to get another tattoo. I got a tattoo that says ‘This means nothing.’ So there is no meaning behind that one.”
Her palm tree tattoo represents the time she’s spent in Los Angeles, and her two dancing people are for one of her favorite artists, Keith Haring. The “R” and the “G” are the initials of her siblings, Rina and Gjin. Likewise, the MUM + DAD tattoo is a tribute to her parents.
“I guess having an angel on your shoulder is having someone looking over you, in a sense,” she said of her angel tattoo. Her patience tattoo on her hand is a reminder to stay calm. And she revealed the star on her finger and the eye on her foot were housewarming gifts from her drummer and his wife.
According to PopSugar, the 245 tattoo represents the number of shows she did during her first tour. There’s no word on the specific meanings behind the rest of her tattoos.
