Ariana Grande attempted to correct her tattoo that loosely translated to “small, Japanese bbq grill” and instead botched further! It now says “Japanese BBQ finger.” The singer meant to get a tattoo that read “7 Rings” for her latest chart single but it went terribly wrong — twice!

Ariana, 25, showed off her new ink on her Instagram story on January 30 and captioned the photo, “Slightly better. Thanks to my tutor for helping me fix. RIP tiny charcoal grill. Miss you man. I actually really liked you.”

She has since deleted a photo of the text exchange where her tutor advised her to add the character for finger, “指,” in between and above the original tattoo that had the symbols, “七輪.” Ariana’s tutor said with those edits, the tattoo would translate to Seven Finger Circle or seven rings.

Ariana instead added the symbol below her original ink which, altered the meaning to “Japanese BBQ finger,” according to fans.

One fan criticized the “Thank U, Next” singer for trying to edit the tattoo after the first attempt. She responded, “I’d like it to be respectful and more correct bruh what’s wrong with that. Trying to learn here.”
