Her Cross Collarbone Tattoo
Most likely a nod to Selena’s faith. “I’m very, very spiritual,” she said in her April 2021 Vogue cover story. “I believe in God, but I’m not religious. I’ve been a Christian for a while now. I don’t talk about it too much—I want to, but it’s gotten a bad rep. I just want to make it clear that I love being able to have my faith and believe in what I believe in, and that truly is what gets me through.”

Kay, this is “1976” in Roman numerals, which *happens* to be the year Selena’s mom, Mandy Teefey, was born. Bang Bang, who designed the tattoo, told E! News that it “was a tribute to a family member who she said means a lot to her. Selena was nervous it might have been painful, so she held her best friend’s hand the whole time. But she did a great job.”

Apparently, fans thought this was a heart at first, but Selena set the record straight to Access Hollywood, saying, “It’s a music note. Everybody thought that it was a heart for some reason, but music is a big influence in my life. I was named after a singer, I’m a singer, and a lot of other personal reasons. So that’s what I got.”

Yet another tat curtesy of Bang Bang in NYC, who told E! News, “Selena already had it written out how she wanted. The tattoo is about 4 inches and didn’t take too long, probably about 30 to 45 minutes. The longest part is laying it out. We played with it a bit, laying it out until we found the perfect spot.”

“God Who Strengthens Me”
