If there’s anything we know about Cara Delevingne, it’s that she’s really dedicated to growing her collection of tattoos. The model has more than 20 pieces of body art that she’s spent the last several years accumulating from famed tattoo artists. Most recently, she got a matching sole tattoo of the word “solemate” with her BFF Kaia Gerber, while her most notable and recognizable piece of ink is the tiny lion that sits on her index finger.
Beyond those two, Delevingne has over a dozen more tattoos that all have their own special meanings. Read ahead as we take you through a guide to all of her tattoos and what each of them means.
