What tattoos does Jesy Nelson have and what do they mean?
Jesy Nelson is covered tattoos with different meanings and symbols, which include a striking ink of a gun and LM5 tribute tattoo on her face.
Jesy recently got a Queen of hearts symbol on the left side of her face as a tribute to her Little Mix album.
She also has a gun tattooed on her ribcage, which is next to the phrase 'you were born an original so don’t die a copy’.
In another tribute to her bandmates, Jesy has 'girl power' on her shoulder, as well as 'Keepers' written on her lower rib.
An upper bicep tattoo also reads: 'Music is the strongest form of magic', while her wrist tattoo of roman numerals 'XIX-VIII-XI' or '9-8-11' is the date that Little Mix was formed during X Factor boot camp.
In 2018, Jesy got three tattoos all at once, one saying 'amor', meaning love and the letters 'E' and 'J' which remain a mystery as her boyfriend at the time was Harry James.
The popstar also has a rose tattoo on her right arm, a rose and skull tattoo on her lower arm and an upper-arm inking reading 'Once upon a time' for ex-fiancée, Jake Roche.
Jesy also has a feather with an eye and a quote reading 'a tiger never loses sleep over the opinions of sheep'.
