Selena Gomez commemorates kidney transplant with new tattoo - Page Six

Selena Gomez released her music video for “Rare,” the titular track off her new album, on Friday — and showed off her meaningful new tattoo in the process.

Eagle-eyed fans spotted what appears to be a series of numbers on the back of the 27-year-old pop star’s right arm, visible for the first time since Gomez discussed her fresh ink in an interview from December with Capital FM radio.

In the interview, the singer said that the numbers represent the date that she underwent a kidney transplant; the first digit appears to be a six, indicating that her surgery happened in June 2017, though she has yet not given fans a close-up look at the design.

Gomez also said that Francia Raisa, her friend who donated the life-saving kidney, has the same tattoo.

“There aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me,” the former Disney star said when she announced the procedure. “I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis.”

In addition to the sentimental ink, Gomez also added a huge thigh tattoo before the American Music Awards in November, which she said is the same design her father has on his calf; she called it a “tribute to him.” Most recently, she and frequent collaborator Julia Michaels got matching arrows on the back of their thumbs that point towards each other.

Judging by the heavy emphasis on butterflies in her new album artwork and music video, perhaps it’s only a matter of time until she adds an insect-inspired tattoo to her collection.
