That collage of butterflies and birds is tattooed on Cher Lloyd's arm!

The pretty half-sleeve is just one of the (larger) tattoos that the 'Want U Back' hit maker has inked on her body. Although they look like the types of symbols a girl would get just to be feminine and cute, these tattoos have deep meaning for Ms. Lloyd.

The bird is actually one part of a two-piece tattoo, as an opened bird cage sits opposite on Cher's left forearm. After her uncle Edward Smith passed away, 17-year-old Cher got the ink as a tribute to him --"Boo Boo" was his nickname.
