To say that Miley Cyrus likes tattoos would be the understatement of the century. At present, Miley Cyrus already has a bunch of tattoos, all over including her body, ear, wrist, or finger tattoos, and she shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. Miley got her first tattoo when she was 17, and if her half-brother Trace is any indication of the potential course of her tattoo obsession, Miley fans beware. You may no longer be able to recognize her in a few years under all that ink! Joking aside, Miley Cyrus has said in the past that she “could never get a meaningless tattoo,” which means that all ten of Miley’s tats hold an important meaning for the young star. Whether it represents Miley’s family, friends, religious beliefs or her support of peace, love and equality, each and every one of Miley Cyrus’ tattoo meanings is explained in detail below. Check out more to learn everything there is to know about Miley Cyrus’ tattoos!
Miley Cyrus’ first tattoo was controversial, not because of what it stood for, but for where it was located and how old she was when she got the tat. At only 17, Miley seemingly got permission from her parents to get “Just Breathe” inked just below her left breast in black script, a tribute to her two grandfathers who died of lung cancer, and to a nine-year-old girl named Vanessa who passed away from cystic fibrosis in 2007. Miley Cyrus’ just breathe tattoo was inked in December 2009, and was only the first of many Miley Cyrus tattoos. Read more about the meaning and story behind her “Just Breathe” tattoo…read more
The second tattoo Miley Cyrus got was the word “Love” inked in small letters on the inside of her right ear in 2010. Miley Cyrus’ ear tattoo was inspired by her belief that you should block out all the negativity in the world and only listen to what the people who love you have to say. Miley Cyrus’ love tattoomay also have something to do with long-time love Liam Hemsworth, the Australian hunk Miley met on the set of “The Last Song” in 2009. Regardless of what people think about Miley’s ear tattoo meaning, and about her tattoos in general, Miley Cyrus certainly seems eager to express herself with new tattoos!

Miley Cyrus’ third tattoo marked the beginning of the superstar’s tiny finger tattoo rampage. In September 2010, Miley Cyrus got a tattoo inked on the outside of her right pinky finger in the shape of a heart outline. Rumor has it, Miley’s mom and dad also have tiny heart tattoos, Tish’s on her left pinky and Billy Ray’s on his left hand. There is a little bit of mystery surrounding Miley Cyrus’ heart tattoo since she hasn’t spoken about it in public, but she can’t say enough (or ink enough) about her love for Liam, God and her family, so we’re sure that about covers it.

In December 2010, Miley Cyrus got a tattoo on her finger of a tiny black cross. Her fourth body tattoo, Miley Cyrus’ cross tattoo was probably meant to symbolize her unwavering Christian faith. Although she hasn’t spoken in public about many of her finger tattoos, including the heart on her pinky or the peace sign on her middle finger, the fact that Miley was raised a Christian by her parents and speaks freely about God and his influence on her life makes it easy to guess what Miley Cyrus’ finger tattoo represents for the pop star.

Miley Cyrus must have channeled her inner Native American when she got her fifth tattoo, a large black and white dreamcatcher tat inked on her side. Miley Cyrus dream catcher tattoo features four beaded feathers hanging down from the woven hoop, which are meant to represent and protect each of her four siblings. The dreamcatcher tat is inked on her right ribcage, just below her armpit, and is Miley Cyrus’ biggest tattoo to date. Inked in February 2011 in Venezuela, the side tat sparked significant controversy as Miley’s status as a teen role model came to an end. Read more about the meaning and story behind her dreamcatcher tattoo…read more
She already has tattoos representing love and happiness, so it was only a matter of time before Miley Cyrus got a tattoo symbolizing peace. Miley Cyrus peace tattoo was inked in May 2011 on the middle finger of her right hand, right alongside her heart and cross tats. Funny thing is, Miley Cyrus’ finger tattoo began as a single line inked in black on her finger, a tat that raised eyebrows until it finally became a peace sign a couple months later. Who knows what Miley’s finger tattoo started out as, but it ended up to be a symbol of world peace! Read more about the meaning and story behind her peace sign tattoo…read more
During her Gypsy Heart tour in Brazil, Miley Cyrus got a tattoo inked on her wrist in the design of a small black and white anchor. According to tattoo artist Fabio Satori, who inked the anchor tat, Miley Cyrus anchor tattoo symbolizes a “safe port” and a reminder to “always have your feet on the ground.” Could Miley Cyrus’ tattoo meaning have something to do with her parents’ decision to end their 17-year marriage, an announcement that was made just months before the anchor showed up on Miley’s arm? If so, Miley’s anchor wrist tattoo must be one of her most important body tattoos. Read more about the meaning and story behind her anchor tattoo…read more
In July 2011, Miley Cyrus got a tattoo inked on her right index finger that reads “karma” in small, black lower-case letters. The finger tat raised eyebrows amongst Miley Cyrus fans and opponents alike, since karma is a Hindu belief and Miley has portrayed herself as an unwavering Christian to the core. Recent comments made by Miley on Twitter have also reflected her potential interest in Hinduism and other Hindu concepts like reincarnation. Miley Cyrus karma tattoo isn’t her only Hindu-inspired tat though, and at the rate she’s going now, there may be more in her future!

In presumably her most controversial move yet, Miley Cyrus got a tattoo of an equal sign on her right ring finger in July 2011. After posting a picture of Miley Cyrus equal tattoo on Twitter w/ the message “ALL LOVE is equal,” showing her support for gay marriage and LGBT rights, a bitter feud broke out in the equal rights and LGBT community. An opponent of Miley Cyrus’ beliefs received death threats from those in support of Miley’s message, prompting interference by Miley herself to put a stop to the impending Twitter battle. Phew, that’s a lot of drama over a simple finger tattoo! Read more about the meaning and story behind her equal sign tattoo…read more
Miley Cyrus’ tenth tattoo depicts the Hindu religious symbol “Om,” which represents the universe, and is inked on the inside of her left wrist. Miley Cyrus got the tat in September 2011, just a couple months after getting “karma” and the equal sign inked on her finger. Never one to shy away from expressing herself publicly, Miley Cyrus Om tattoo has drawn criticism from some who believe the teen star may be ditching her Christian faith to embrace Hinduism. We think that Miley just really liked the Om tattoo design! What do you think? Read more about the meaning and story behind her Om tattoo…read more
You finally have the chance to see Miley Cyrus’ new tattoo that matches her beau, Liam Hemsworth’s!

Watch out 2012! Miley Cyrus kicked off with a brand new tattoo, inked on the inside of her left bicep. Reading, “love never dies” in small letters, Miley Cyrus’ new tattoo shows the world (again) that she’s got a lot of love to give. Since boyfriend Liam Hemsworth was by her side at Studio City Tattoo in California the night she got the new ink (February 18, 2012), it’s likely that the Australian actor was the inspiration behind Miley Cyrus love never dies tattoo, and probably a few of her other tattoos as well!

There seems to be no stopping Miley Cyrus, who recently got a new tattoo inked on her right index finger.
