The performer revealed the tattoo to the public through Instagram on December 16, 2021.

Selena Gomez debuted a massive new back tattoo in an Instagram post that surfaced on December 16, 2021.

The Instagram post came courtesy of the tattoo shop responsible for her newest piece of body art.

New York City tattoo shop, Bang Bang, surprised its 2.5million followers on Wednesday when it shared a simple, black-and-white photo of Selena.

The image began at the top of her neck and made its way to just above her mid-back.

While her face isn’t visible in the snap, Bang Bang tagged Selena in the Instagram caption and added a little drawing emoji next to her name.

In addition to her back tattoo, Selena Gomez has a number of other pieces of body art that she’s collected over the years.

New York City tattoo shop, Bang Bang, are the ones to thank for a few of her most notable images.

One of Gomez’s other tattoos include the word ‘Rare,’ which pays homage to her 2020 album of the same name.

Below the back of her right shoulder sits a tattoo that says ‘love yourself first’ in Arabic.

In total, the performer has collected 16 tattoos.

Upon the unveiling of Selena Gomez’s newest body art, sleuths took to Twitter to place their guess on what the image represents.

One follower suggested: “Looks like a beautiful dream catcher from this distance”

Others agreed, with one writing: “EITHER A ROSE OR A DREAM CATCHER, NOT THAT HARD TO SEE!”

It did seem to be hard for many, though, as there were quite a few different suggestions on what the image could be.

Aside from a dream catcher, a much darker guess was also made.

“Looks like a female head at the top with blood dripping,” was an idea thrown out in the comments.

Another asked: “Is that a stab in the back with blood running?”
