Hilary Duff Has 19 Tiny Hidden Tattoos – Here’s What Each One Means
You wouldn’t know it just by looking at her, but Hilary Duff has a lot of tiny tattoos – around 19, actually. The small pieces of ink are scattered throughout her body, mainly on her arms.
Duff strategically selected the location for each of her tattoos with subtlety in mind – when her arms are down, they’re completely hidden, but when her arms are on display, you can see her vast collection of body art. There are, however, two tattoos that are rarely photographed: a star on the back of her neck and the French phrase “Ma Petite Amie,” which means “my girlfriend,” on her ribs. (But her husband, Matthew Koma, has her beat with the most hidden tattoo of them all – his wife’s name, “Hilary,” tattooed on his butt cheek . . . )
Some of her tattoos are around 10 years old, but her most recent piece of ink is a sun symbol that she got in 2019. Many of Duff’s tattoos have special meanings behind them, like one for her son, Luca, and she has multiple matching tattoos with friends and her sister. Aside from one tiny red heart, Duff clearly prefers the style of delicate black-ink tattoos, which is why celebrity tattooist Dr. Woo is her go-to.
