Ariana Grande Debuts Collarbone Tattoo Reading “I Do Love You”

Matching the phrase on Ricky Álvarez’s collarbone, the new ink serves as a public signal of the pair’s rekindled relationship.

Overview

  • Grande revealed the delicate script reading “I do love you” on her left collarbone during the opening night of her 10-show London O2 residency on August 15.
  • The wording mirrors a collarbone tattoo Álvarez first showed in July 2025, with outlets noting the placement and phrase as a visual match despite different fonts.
  • The tattoo followed Grande’s Instagram “hard launch” of their reunion earlier in August, which included photos of the two together and a close-up of the phrase written in a journal.
  • Neither Grande nor Álvarez has publicly explained the tattoos’ intended meaning, but fans and media have read the matched ink and recent lyric changes as confirmation of their reunion.
  • The reveal builds on Grande’s history of using tattoos and onstage gestures to mark relationships and comes as she finishes the final leg of her Eternal Sunshine tour before a planned hiatus.
