The New Year means a new beginning—and new ink for Demi Lovato.
The 29-year-old pop star debuted a new tattoo on Saturday, Jan. 8, soon after it was revealed they had completed more treatment amid a long journey to sobriety and more than a week after they celebrated their first New Year’s holiday since coming out as non-binary last summer.
Demi, who had showcased a fresh buzzcut just after Christmas, posted on their Instagram Story a photo of a black spider tattoo decorating the side of their head, on a newly shaved patch of skin.
After posting a plea to their hairstylist to “come fix my hair pleeeease,” the singer shared a passage from the Native American folk tale The Light of Grandmother SpiderIt said, “It wasn’t Grandmother Spider that taught me many things.” Her teachings included weaving and pottery. We learned about light, fire, and darkness. She taught us that we are all connected on the web — each one of us having our place in this world.”
