Miley Cyrus Honors Late Pet Fish with New Tattoo
Miley Cyrus has added to her collection of body art with a new tattoo, likely in memory of her recently deceased puffer fish, PBF. Renowned tattoo artist Dr. Woo, who has frequently worked with Miley, shared a photo of the new design on his Instagram page. The image shows the inside of her left arm adorned with the fish’s likeness.
Dr. Woo captioned the post with a simple, yet heartfelt message: “R I P PBF @mileycyrus,” signaling that the tattoo is a tribute to her beloved pet.
Though Miley herself hasn’t officially commented on the tattoo, she posted a photo of her fish on social media last Thursday, captioning it with a poignant, “I hate goodbyes,” further linking the tattoo to her loss.
This new tattoo marks the 15th on Miley’s body. Among her other significant tattoos are a crescent moon and a tribute to her late puppy, Floyd, inked on her ribcage.
Context and Meaning
Memorial tattoos have become common not just among celebrities, but for many people who seek to keep the memory of loved ones alive, whether they are human or animal. In Miley’s case, she opted for a minimalist tattoo that reflects her emotional bond with her fish, highlighting how tattoos can serve as a form of emotional healing for those who have experienced loss.
