Getting matching tattoos is rarely a meaningless, casual endeavor, and it certainly wasn’t for Selena Gomez and Cara Delevingne.
In late December, the Bang Bang NYC Instagram account debuted Gomez’s newest ink: a watercolor rose dripping down her back like wet paint. The work was impressive and notable on its own but it was made more special when the tat was revealed to be part a matching set. On December 30, the same studio shared that Gomez’s Only Murders in the HouseCostar Delevingne received a nearly identical version of the artwork for her ribcage.
“Matching for @caradelevingne. I had so much fun making these tattoos—thanks for always trusting me Cara,” celebrity tattoo artist Keith Scott captioned the post at the time. “Fyi I didn’t tell them til the end that these were my first watercolor tattoos ever.”

Live with Kelly & RyanGomez opens up about the meaning of the matching ink. “It means a couple of different things,” the actor said, per Billboard. “Cara [is] one of my best friends that I’ve known for [a long time]. I was 16 when I met her. She calls me ‘Rosebud.’ So, it’s a nickname. I’ve always wanted a rose and now I got one and I love it.”
