What was shown

In August 2018, Ariana Grande revealed a large black line-art portrait of Chihiro from Spirited Away on the inside of her right forearm. Teen Vogue documented Grande's Instagram Story reveal and reported that tattoo artist Mira Mariah made the piece. Refinery29 also identified the placement, character, and artist, while Business Insider recorded the same August 29 reveal.

Grande's Story paired the fresh tattoo with a description of Chihiro's development in the film. The article presents that documented context without assigning an additional private meaning to the tattoo.
