What was shown

Tattoo artist Michelle Santana shared a June 2025 photo carousel showing Miley Cyrus with the word “Muse” in small cursive lettering high on her right shoulder blade. Allure's report describes the close view and the tattoo-session frames; Tattoofilter identifies Santana and Bang Bang Tattoo.

The finished word is compact relative to the shoulder, with a looping capital M and connected lowercase letters. A separate close view shows the complete linework. The photographs establish the word and placement without establishing a personal meaning.
