Demi Lovato Just Got a New Tattoo… on Her Hand!

Demi Lovato has never been one to shy away from the tattoo needle. The singer has quite a bit of ink, including a lyric from one of her songs on her shoulder. Now Lovato has gone back to the studio — the tattoo studio, that is — and added a new piece of permanent art. And it’s seriously fierce!

The singer posted an Instagram story to show us her newest piece of body art, and we are captivated. The entire back of her left hand now features a pretty fearsome-looking lion.

Don’t the eyes almost seem to glow? Lovato didn’t say what it means, but it could be because of the animal’s ferocity, power, and general badass-ness, the fact that she’s a Leo, or — our favorite theory — it could be a nod to her song “Lionheart.”

The artist responsible for the new art is none other than NYC-based celeb tattoo artist, Bang Bang, who has also inked Kylie Jenner and *been* inked by Kylie Jenner. He shared the same photo of Lovato on his personal IG page and thanked the pop star for her trust in him. Aww.

And if you find that lion looks a bit familiar, it might be because Cara Delevingne also sports a lion on her finger, and it was also done by Bang Bang!

But Lovato’s feline is certainly fierce. We can’t wait to see what her next piece will be; with more than 30 (!) so far, we can’t imagine this will be her last.

What do you think of the tattoo? Do you have your own? Tell us about it @BritandCo!

The world was sad to say goodbye to Ted Lasso when season 3 ended in 2023. "This is the end of this story that we wanted to tell," Jason Sudeikis said in March 2023. "The fact that folks will want more and are curious beyond more than what they don’t even know yet—that being Season 3—it’s flattering."

Well, get ready to say hello because Apple TV+ announced on March 14 that Ted Lasso season 4 is coming to the streamer. Entertainment Weekly confirmed that the senior season will again see Jason Sudeikis as star and executive producer. Thank you Apple!

Here's everything we know about Jason Sudeikis' Ted Lasso season 4, coming soon to Apple TV+.

'Ted Lasso' season 4 finds the characters "exactly where they're meant to be."

Apple TV+

Ted Lasso season 4 will see a continuation of all the goodness we got in season 3 Ted returned to Kansas, and his son. Rebecca finally reunited with the man she met in Amsterdam, and started to consider starting a Richmond women's team at the suggestion of Keeley, who's still torn between Jamie and Roy.

"As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to 'look before we leap,' in season 4, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to LEAP BEFORE THEY LOOK, discovering that wherever they land, it’s exactly where they’re meant to be," Jason Sudeikis said in a statement.

The 'Ted Lasso' season 4 cast will be led by Jason Sudeikis.

Apple TV+

We don't have a full Ted Lasso season 4 cast yet, but we do know Jason Sudeikis will return as Ted. I'm hoping the full cast will include:

  • Jason Sudeikis as Ted, the AFC Richmond coach.
  • Brett Goldstein as Roy Kent, the midfielder and captain of the team.
  • Juno Temple as Keeley Jones, a model-turned-marketing and PR manager.
  • Hannah Waddingham as Rebecca Welton, AFC Richmond's owner.
  • Jeremy Swift as Leslie Higgins, the Director of Football Operations.
  • Phil Dunster as Jamie Tartt, the team's striker.
  • Brendan Hunt as Willis Beard, one of Ted's assistant coaches.
  • Nick Mohammed as Nate Shelley, who becomes an assistant coach.

Here's when you can expect 'Ted Lasso' season 4.

Apple TV+

We don't have an official Ted Lasso season 4 release date yet, but considering season 2 was announced in 2020 and premiered in 2021 (the delay during season 3 was reportedly due to script rewrites). So there's a good chance we could see new episodes in 2026.

Does Keeley end up with Jamie or Roy?

Apple TV+

Okay so we don't actually know who Keeley chooses yet because the end of season 3 left it unanswered (even though actress Juno Temple told EW she thinks "ultimately, she ends up with Roy"). Hopefully we'll figure out who's endgame in season 4!

There’s a lot of conflicting information about tattoo aftercare and healing out there. Considering there are only seven states in which artists are required by law to provide aftercare instructions, it’s easy to get overwhelmed or left in the dark about what exactly to do after your appointment. The tattoo healing process depends on how big the piece is, how intricate it is, and your body’s response to the ink – but all complications can be avoided with proper aftercare procedures to reduce the risk of infection, scarring, fading, or drying out.

The first step to tattoo aftercare actually comes before the needle even touches your skin – picking a reputable, professional tattoo artist ensures you’re getting the very best care and advice, so you can be on your way to rockin’ some cool body art.

Disclaimer: I am by no means a professional, so approach aftercare at your own discretion, taking this information (as well as your tattoo artist’s) with a grain of salt.

1. Keep the second-skin (medical-grade adhesive) on for several days, or however long your artist recommends.

Your artist will likely place a second-skin material over your tattoo after it’s finished. It works as a barrier to keep bacteria out while the tattoo is in its freshest stage, only meant to stay on a few days.

When it’s time to take it off, be patient and go slow to avoid damage to the skin. Before doing this, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly and dry them with a paper towel to avoid additional germs and bacteria that could harvest in a normal hand towel.

Blood and plasma fluid coming out from the second-skin is normal, but if you notice any out-of-the-ordinary excretions or sensations, contact your tattoo artist ASAP.

2. Wash your tattoo with warm water and fragrance-free, unscented, antimicrobial soap.

After removing the second skin, the next step in aftercare is to wash off the tatted area. Using a gentle soap ensures that your tattoo doesn’t get any further irritation that could cause unfavorable healing.

When it’s time to wash, move gently, as the area can be tender. You’ll want to start with clean hands and wash with lukewarm water as well, to avoid burning the exposed skin. These are the soaps most commonly used for tattoo aftercare:

3. Moisturize after pat-drying your skin with a paper towel.

Though petroleum jellies (like Vaseline) can be moisturizing on the lips, it’s no longer widely recommended for tattoo aftercare. Too much of it can create a thick, non-breathable layer on top of your tattoo – less air-flow means slower healing and the potential for ink bleeding. Look to opt for light ointments and balms. Here are a few widely-loved ones:

Bandages or other tight skin coverings are not necessary once you’ve washed off your tattoo. A seal created by these barriers could restrict air-flow, too.

After a week or so, it’s safe to move away from ointments and balms, and onto gentle lotions like the Eucerin Unscented Advanced Repair Body LotionAdvanced Repair Body Lotion ($11, was $13).

4. Avoid *too* hot of showers + no physical activity for at least 48 hours after your appointment.

Heat caused by external factors (weather, hot water, etc) and sweating can increase the risk for the ink on your tattoo to bleed. Plus, moving around too suddenly (like how you would during a workout) causes your skin to stretch, potentially altering your tat’s shape. Not to mention, there’s a very real risk of infection from that grimy gym equipment!

5. Stay out of direct sun for at least 2 weeks.

Sun can further damage your ink, so it’s not a good thing for tattoo aftercare. If you have to be out, your first line of defense should be a physical barrier like some loose clothing, then a light layer of mineral zinc oxide-based sunscreen to protect your tat.

6. No underwater activity for at least 2 weeks.

The risk for bacterial infection from the water in pools, hot tubs, lakes, and the ocean is high. That’s why people prefer to get tatted in the winter, where they won’t have to actively avoid swimming and the subsequent FOMO of not diving in.

7. Stay hydrated!

Photo by Anastasia Shuraeva / PEXELS

Hydrating your body hydrates your skin – and having hydrated skin means your tattoo is ready to heal as best as it can. Drinking water throughout the day (don’t go too crazy) certifies that your body can handle the ink. You also might want to avoid alcohol for a bit. It can cause bouts of dehydration and thin your blood, causing excess bleeding from the tattoo’s wound.
