Inked: Miley Cyrus is in the news again after adding a fourth tattoo to her collection of body art.
Just this month, the 18-year-old actress had a dream catcher tattoo etched on her torso, symbolizing the protection the object gives to her family. The new body art made its debut last week, after Cyrus pulled on a gaping T-shirt that exposed her midsection as she ran errands around Hollywood.
“It’s a picture of the dream catcher that hangs over her bed with four feathers to represent her four brothers and sisters – the dream catcher is to protect them,” explains a Cyrus family friend.
Cyrus’ previous tattoos include a small cross and a heart on her fingers and the word love inked on her ear. She also has the words “Just Breathe” on her rib cage, said to be in tribute to a close friend who died of cystic fibrosis. PEOPLE’s blab argues that while Miley’s first three tatts were all done while the former Disney starlet was still underage, all of Cyrus’ tattoos were all done for a reason, and they all meant something.
“All of Miley’s tattoos have a deep meaning to her. They all represent family and friends close to her…”
Perhaps not surprisingly, last month, Miley surpassed the likes of rehabbers Demi Lovato and Lindsay Lohan to top an AOL poll of the worst celebrity role models for teenage girls.
