Ariana Grande Tried to Fix Her ‘BBQ Grill’ Tattoo But Apparently Made It Worse
Depending on how you read the new ink, it could reportedly mean “Japanese BBQ grill finger,” “Ring seven finger” or “Seven finger ring.”

Singer Ariana Grande reportedly fixed her botched “BBQ Grill” hand tattoo in an effort to get it closer to its intended meaning, "7 Rings," but it appears her efforts only made it worse. “Slightly better. Thanks to my tutor for helping me fix and to [Kane Navasard] for being a legend. And to my doctor for the lidocaine shots (no joke),” the singer wrote on Instagram next to an updated photo of her ink, which USA Today reports now features an additional character and a heart emoji. While the tattoo is supposed to read “7 Rings,” the title of her recent single, Grande's updated tattoo can reportedly be translated in several ways: “Japanese BBQ grill finger,” “Ring seven finger” or “Seven finger ring.” “HOW DID SHE MESS UP THIS BAD,” one Twitter user wrote. “...now it just says 'BBQ Grill Finger (heart emoji),’” another user tweeted. “I'm losing my mind.”
