Gabbie is not the first to have a word tattooed with a different meaning: the singer Ariana Grande It became one of the most famous memes on the networks due to its translation error. The artist thought that her tattoo in Japanese meant ‘7 ring’, the name of one of his songs, but he actually meant ‘shichirin’, the name of a type of Japanese grill.
