Prior to her newly inked palm tattoo—written in Japanese along with a small heart—theWickedstar already have around 60 tattoos, many of which are on her fingers and palms and appear to form a botanical theme.
In one of the snaps, the hitmaker posed with her face partially covered to highlight her latest artwork.

The Kanji characters, 七輪 (shichirin), literally translate to a 'small charcoal BBQ grill,' they hold a far more significant, spiritual meaning in other contexts, referring to the seven chakras.
Coupled with a small heart symbol and the character 晴 (hare), meaning 'clear' or 'sunny,' the AI offered a thoughtful interpretation: the tattoo likely symbolizes a state of balanced, clear energy infused with love, effectively recontextualizing the history of her original 7 Rings ink.
