Ariana Grande now has a permanent reminder of her time in Manchester. Following her One Love Manchester concert on Sunday, June 4, the former Nickelodeon star and her crew reportedly got matching tattoos of Manchester bees in honor of the city.
According to The Sun, Ariana and her team were joined backstage after the show by artists from Manchester Ink to have the tattoos done. The Manchester bee is a symbol of the hard-working people of the city, especially during the Industrial Revolution.
Tattoo artists around the city have launched fundraiser where Manchester bee tattoos would be done for £50 with proceeds going to the families of victims of the attack.
Ariana reportedly got so emotional after completing her performances that night. "That was the hardest thing ever. I just need to go home now," she reportedly told her friends after the gig. Her brother Frankie Grande said, "She seems calm out there because that's her in her element. That's what she was born to do. She is strong, so much stronger than anyone thought. She's strong for her fans."
The One Love Manchester concert, supported by other performers like Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Black Eyed Peas, Coldplay and Pharrell Williams, reportedly raised more than $9 million which will go to the U.K. terror attack victims and their families.
