Selena Gomez New Tattoo Is Wow! But What Is The Meaning?

“Selena already had it written out how she wanted,” Bang Bang said. “She had been wanting this one for a while.”

Needless to say, the starlette was in love with her new tat. Bang Bang also notes that this is not Selena’s first, but that he’s worked on her three times now and she has a total of “five to six” tats, and she has plans for more.

"Its meaning translates to 'Love Yourself,'" Bang Bang shares about the script, which appears to be an Arabic translation of the phrase "Love Yourself First."

The celebrity tattoo artist inked the singer in NYC after she came in "with a couple of friends."

"Selena already had it written out how she wanted," he says. "The tattoo is about 4 inches, and didn't take too long, probably about 30-45 minutes. The longest part is laying it out. We played with it a bit laying it out, until we found the perfect spot."
