Demi Lovato celebrates ‘duality’ with new tattoos after updating pronouns

Demi Lovato is embracing “duality.”

The non-binary pop star — who recently updated their pronouns on Instagram to include “she/her” in addition to “they/them” — unveiled two new tattoos on social media Monday.

Lovato, 29, had celebrity tattoo artist Dr. Woo ink the word “love” on one shoulder and “fear” on the other, both in a Gothic gradient font that perfectly matches the “choose love” tattoo they got in March to help raise funds for the non-profit of the same name.

“Duality,” the “Cool for the Summer” singer captioned a snap of their fresh ink.

Lovato has well over 20 tattoos in total, including designs depicting animals, florals and reminders of their faith.

In the past year alone, the star has inked lyrics to the song “Infinite Universe” by Beautiful Chorus on their hand, a giant spider on the side of their head and the aforementioned “choose love” reminder on their arm, the latter amid Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Lovato came out as non-binary in May 2021. “Over the past year-and-a-half I’ve been doing some healing and some reflective work, and through this work I’ve had the revelation that I identify as non-binary,” they shared on their “4D With Demi Lovato” podcast at the time, adding that they were changing their pronouns to “they/them.”

“I feel that this best represents the fluidity I feel in my gender expression and allows me to feel most authentic and true to the person I both know I am, and am still discovering.”
