Ariana Grande Shows Off Transformed Pete Davidson Tattoo

Ariana Grande embarks on her massive Sweetener world tour today (March 18), and as she rehearsed over the weekend the pop star shared a photo with her Instagram followers that showcased some new ink. When she was with Pete Davidson, the couple got a handful of tattoos together during their whirlwind romance. Her new tattoo is a branch with leaves surrounding the word "Always" on her rib cage — one of the many tats she got during her short relationship with the comedian. However, she insists the transformation is not a cover up, and says as much in the photo's caption.

"post run thrus, 3 am with @girlknewyork :) not a cover up just evolvin  also, our show opens tomorrow. i love u and i’m so grateful. see u soon," she wrote alongside the photo.

Though this one may be evolution, Ari has covered up plenty of Pete-inspired ink since the two broke off their engagement last year. She replaced her ex-fiancé's name on her finger with a black heart, the word "reborn" on her thumb with a feather, and her tribute to his dad with a tribute to Mac Miller's dog. The Saturday Night Live star has also been covering up tattoos he got with the singer, including transforming her signature bunny ears into a black heart, and replacing the words "mille tendresse" with "CURSED," on his neck. Ouch.
