Selena Gomez has seven tattoos, and counting, but the meaning behind one of them has remained a mystery. The singer has the word “sunshine” tattooed on her right foot, and while she has never spoken about the meaning behind it, fans can make an educated guess.
In 2016, Gomez referred to her grandmother as “my sunshine” on Twitter, which could be a clue as to why she chose to get the word tattooed on her foot. Gomez has always been close to her grandmother, so it’s possible that the tattoo is a tribute to her.
Gomez has opened up about her other tattoos in the past, and in an interview with Glamour magazine, she said that each and every one of them mean something special to her.
“I have seven tattoos (and counting),” she said. “I have a little cross on my neck, a music note on my wrist, an ‘M’ for my sister on my wrist, a Roman numeral for my mom on my back, a little bird on my hip, and a quote on my foot.”
Gomez has never revealed the meaning behind her “sunshine” tattoo, but it’s clear that it holds a special place in her heart. Whatever the reason behind it, it’s clear that the tattoo is a reminder of someone or something special to her.
