Meaning behind Selena Gomez’s new 76 Roman Numeral neck tattoo
Selena Gomez got a neck tattoo!
The Hotel Transylvania star got the number 76 in Roman Numerals tattooed on the back of her neck in New York by tattoo artist Bang Bang, who’s responsible for a lot of celebrity ink.
Does “76” have a special meaning?
Bang Bang said the tattoo was a tribute to someone who meant a lot to her, and it turns out that Selena’s mother Mandy Teefey was born on April 16, 1976. That probably isn’t a coincidence!
It took about 20 minutes to ink the number on Selena’s neck, and she was a little scared at first.
According to Bang Bang:
“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.”
