And our girl has been through a lot!

This was after she relapsed after a long period of sobriety and a lifelong struggle with drugs and alcohol.
Fortunately, Lovato survived and was able to get the help that she so desperately needed.
“Me first,” she wrote in the caption, followed by black heart emojis.

Lovato also tagged the Los Angeles-based tattoo artistDaniel Winterin the caption and thanked him for manifesting her vision.
“The words were so encouraging and lifted me through a really dark time in my life.”
“I got it in some tattoo artist’s apartment,” she revealed toiHeartRadio.

It sounds like Lovato was indulging in a little bit of rebellion, huh?
“We created a combination [of] images that best symbolized the spiritual awakening I was having.”
For one, she has a bold yet simple cross inked in black on her right hand.

It’s just, kind of, one of my favorite life mottoes," she revealed toHollywire.
“This is for you Mimaw,” she proclaimed in a post on herInstagrampage.
“That tattoo is for my father,” she shared in an interview withDeezer.

“Those numbers are my family’s birthdays,” shecontinued.
She’s right about that one.
Demi Lovato’s tattoos have even documented this.

“The team that tats together stays together,” she wrote in the caption.
Of course, given that it’s Lovato, you know she commemorated the occasion with a tattoo.
They then decided on a “single stemmed rose.”

Clearly Winter was the right person for the job, as hisstylematches several of Demi Lovato’s tattoos.
“My aesthetic has always been the finest of lines,” he added.
She added, “By the way, people like book Kat way in advance!”

And thus another image was added to Demi Lovato’s tattoo collection.
“Whoa, I didn’t mean to do that,” Lovato exclaimed.
Sounds like it, Demi!

What does Demi Lovato’s tattoo of a lion mean?
“Thank you for your trust.”
“That’s not the case folks.”

“I just think it’s cute.”
Hey, there’s nothing wrong with that!
Sometimes you just want to accessorize.

So when asked if there were any tattoos she’s considered removing, Lovato said she’s pondered it.
With Kelly and Michael.
“But you know, whatever, I’m young, and I can rock it now.”

Lovato also has the word “peace” tattooed on the middle finger of her left hand.
If that’s deeply significant to her, she hasn’t said much about it.
“A T for Tommy,” she wrote in the caption.

“RIP you special angel.
Love you forever.”
She also encouraged anyone battling addiction to get the help that they need.

This wasn’t the first time Lovato got a tattoo to remember a soul that was special to her.
She got the piece done after spending time in Kenya, which was a transformative experience for her.
“I went there for my 21st birthday,” she revealed in an interview withiHeartRadio.
No wonder she decided to immortalize the experience she said it was thebest birthdayof her life!
