When you're a 17-year-old pop star, it's important to stay grounded. Usually, underage luminaries have parents or guardians who will provide this reminder—instead, Miley Cyrus got a wise tattoo. In December 2009, she was spotted shortly after her birthday with words on the upper left side of her ribcage that read, "Just Breathe." (Of course, they were only visible because she was donning a
hot pink bikini.) Shortly after the image surfaced, the
Daily Mail reported Cyrus decided to get inked in memory of her friend who passed away from cystic fibrosis. She couldn't stop at one tattoo. This past June, Cyrus was photographed with the word "
LOVE" on her right ear. And a year before her first tattoo,
Cyrus allegedly wanted to get one for her much older then-boyfriend Justin Gaston, but more on that later.
