Ariana Grande Updates Pete Davidson 'Always' Tattoo

It’s looking like Ariana Grande is saying ‘Thank U, Next’ to her tattoos, too!

While in a relationship with ex Pete Davidson, Ariana and Pete decided to ink themselves with several matching tattoos .  For example – like the tattoo Ariana got in June that read the word ‘Always’ on her ribcage, and was also in Pete’s handwriting (did I forget to mention Pete also has the same tattoo? Only his version is located on his upper back).  Now that she and Pete are no longer together, Ari decided to make a small adjustment by adding a leaf.

Ariana posted a side photo with the caption, “Post run thrus, 3 am with @girlknewyork.  Not a cover up just evolvin’ … also, our show opens tomorrow.  I love u and I’m so grateful. See you soon.”

As ELLE explains, “This “not a cover up” clarification was probably brought on by her past decisions with her Pete ink. In October, Grande covered up the “Pete” tattoo on her ring finger and did the same for the word “reborn,” which was another Davidson-era tat. But “always” is still perfectly visible; it’s just resting among the new branch of leaves on the left side of her ribcage.”

As for Ariana and Pete – they broke up in October and since then, Pete is now with actress Kate Beckinsale and Ariana officially kicked off her Sweetener / Thank U, Next World Tour.  This is the first time Ariana has toured since her Dangerous Woman days in 2017.  Following the Manchester Arena attack, Ari told ELLE she suffered from a good amount of anxiety, “When I got home from tour, I had really wild dizzy spells, this feeling like I couldn’t breathe.  I would be in a good mood, fine and happy, and they would hit me out of nowhere. I’ve always had anxiety, but it had never been physical before. There were a couple of months straight where I felt so upside down.”

Happy to see Ariana is back in action!
