Billie Eilish shows off intimate tattoo she vowed fans would never see
Billie Eilish vowed to never show off her intimate tattoo - but that didn't end up happening
Fans of celebrities hold a pretty strong interest in everything their favorite celebrity does - even down to what their tattoos might mean.
It usually says a lot about them and their experiences, so, of course, people want to know more.
In recent times, we've seen Machine Gun Kelly reveal a shocking new blackout tattoo that required a whopping 44 needles - something that took a long time to complete, as you'd probably expect.
However, last year people took a particular interest in Billie Eilish's ink.

The singer has at least four tattoos after first revealing her plans to get one in 2017 when she assured that she wouldn't be getting any 'face tattoos'.
Speaking to Vanity Fair at the time, Eilish said: "The only tattoos I wanna get are the ones that barely anyone can see."
Then in 2018, the 'Bad Guy' singer actually followed through with her plans and got her first tattoo.
Providing a further update to her fans in 2021, Eilish said that she'd since had two more permanent pieces of work inked on her body.
The singer didn't entirely stick to her plan of getting tattoos 'barely anyone can see' however - with one featured prominently on the side of her hand.
That particular piece of art features a drawing of some fairies, which is inspired by a book called Fairyopolis that Eilish had growing up.
"They're like my little guardian angel fairies," the 'What was I Made For' singer said.
She also has one 'big boy' tattoo of a dragon on her waist, which she's shown off on Instagram, but it's her first tattoo that she vowed to keep hidden.
When she revealed in 2018 that she'd had her first ink done, she said: "I did get a tattoo, but you won't ever see it."
It wasn't until a couple of years later that Eilish revealed more details about the tattoo, explaining that it's located in the middle of her ribcage and says 'Eilish'.
"Yes, I love myself," she said.
The position of the tattoo means it would typically be covered by clothes, and therefore easy to hide from the public, but fans managed to get a glimpse of the artwork thanks to a snap shared by Eilish's friend Annabel Zimmer, the daughter of film composer, Hans Zimmer.
Annabel posted the picture as she enjoyed some nice weather with Eilish, who was seen in the photo smiling and tilting her head towards the sun.
She had sunglasses on and her hair pulled back, with the tattoo just visible below the string of her bikini.
While there are certainly clearer photos on the internet, fans of the singer accepted this was the best there were going to get.
You can see kind of see it here:
Rolling Stone has also previously reported that the tattoo is drawn in an 'ornate, gothic font'.
It's just about possible to make out the pointed letters of her name written in black across her skin.
In October 2023, she debuted her latest ink, which is an abstract design that goes down the centre of her back
