Here’s how she corrected it…

Ariana Grande has been one of most talked-about women in the world this month, after dropping her new music video, '7 Rings'.

The pink-hued vid has predictably gone viral, raking in over 56 million views in four days, becoming the most talked about music video since, well, Ariana’s 'Thank You, Next'.

But it wasn’t the music video or the drama around Ariana’s comments on weaves that made news this week. Instead, it was her tattoo to mark it, that she got inked on the palm of her hand.

Unfortunately for the 25-year-old, the tattoo, that was meant to read ‘7 Rings’ had a typo, and after posting a photo online, Ariana was informed by Japanese fans that the ink actually read, ‘BBQ Grill’.

Yes, Ariana Grande legit had the words ‘BBQ Grill’ tattooed on her by mistake, and how did she respond when alerted to the typo?

In true Ariana style, she reacted hilariously.

‘Indeed, I left out “つの指” which should have gone in between,’ Ariana tweeted. It hurt like fuck n still looks tight. I wouldn’t have lasted one more symbol lmao. But this spot also peels a ton and won’t last so if I miss it enough I’ll suffer thru the whole thing next time.’

Later, Ariana posted an Instagram story, revealing an addition that she had added to her palm tattoo, changing the meaning to 'seven wheels'.

‘Slightly better. Thanks to my tutor for helping me fix and to Kane Navasard for being a legend. And to my doctor for the lidocaine shots (no joke)’ she posted. ‘R.I.P tiny charcoal grill. Miss u man, I actually really liked u.’

A reminder of why we all love Ariana Grande (and to always check spellings before tattoos!)
