Sabrina got her first tattoo in 2020 when she was 21. She got the word lucky written in black cursive on the right side of her neck.

At the time, she told NME magazine that Lucky was the name of her childhood teddy bear, which is actually too cute. She also admitted she still sleeps with Lucky to this day, and he represents the gratitude she feels towards her success and her family.

“I was always like, ‘My first tattoo has to be something that I won’t regret,’ and so, I know that I’ll never regret ‘Lucky,'” she told the publication. “It’s also just a cool meaning. I think the word is a really cool word.”

A heart behind her ear

The heart behind her ear tattoo is not your conventional heart, but instead a chronically online heart which looks like this: <3.

We don’t know anything about its meaning or when she got it so it’s definitely her most mysterious addition.

A butterfly on her ribcage

At the start of 2022, Sabrina and her older sister, Sarah, got cute matching butterfly tattoos. They each have half a set of wings on their left ribcage, with Sabrina’s wings being black and Sarah’s in red. It was done by Sabrina’s new go-to artist, Dr. Woo.

At the beginning of 2024, Sabrina got the words at last tattooed on her left shoulder. It’s actually a really sweet nod to her newfound fame, which took her a hefty 10 years to achieve. She’s making music since 2013, but it wasn’t until 2023 that she released her first hits, Feather and Nonsense.

“Something that my mom always said to me as a little girl that really annoyed me was that I am the tortoise…In moments of frustration and confusion, it can feel like a letdown, but it turns out it’s actually a very good thing. And I’ve really loved getting to know the mindset of a slow rise,” she said during her Variety Hitmakers Rising Artist Award acceptance speech.

People have also theorised that the tattoo symbolises the Etta James song called At Last, which Sabrina has said was the “first or second song” that she ever learned and sang. Cute!

Short ‘n Sweet on her right shoulder

Sabrina’s most recent tattoo was debuted on her brand new album cover, Short ‘n Sweet. The tattoo commemorates her sixth album, which she must have known would define her career. And hasn’t it just!
