Hope She Likes Meat.

Japenese-speaking fans were quick to note that the design actually spelled “shichirin” in Japanese Kanji, which is a type of grill for barbequing meats and veggies.

She Had An Explanation.

“It hurt like f—k [and] still looks tight. I wouldn’t have lasted one more symbol,” the songstress explained. She added that the placement of the ink meant it would fade quickly, but she was “curious” about how bad it hurt. She certainly found out!
