The tattoo was revealed in December 2009, when Miley was only 17 years old. It's not surprising that Miley's parents would give her permission to get a tattoo considering that her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, is quite inked himself and her half-brother Trace Cyrus is practically covered in tattoos.New Miley Cyrus Tattoos

The tattoo is a tribute to her friend Vanessa who died of the lung disease cystic fibrosis in 2007 and her grandfathers who both died of lung cancer. She told Harper's Bazaar:"It reminds me not to take things for granted. I mean breathing – that was something none of them could do, the most basic thing.New Miley Cyrus Tattoos

And I put it near my heart, because that is where they will always be."Miley's second tattoo is the word "LOVE" on the inside of her right ear. This tattoo was first spotted by the press in May 2010, but Miley had actually gotten the tattoo months before, at the time her father was having a tattoo done.New Miley Cyrus Tattoos

The tattoo and its placement on her ear signifies drowning out negative messages and only hearing the positive things. Miley told Access Hollywood:"I have 'Love' right here to block out all the crap that everyone throws into your ears…I don't really care about it. [You're] only supposed to hear the things coming from the people that genuinely love you.New Miley Cyrus Tattoos

""There's so much negativity in the world and what you only need to hear is all the love. People try to say to me, 'I just heard someone say this or that about you,' and I just ignore it because it's irrelevant. Love is what makes the world go around, and that's all we need to focus on."In February 2011 Miley had a dream catcher tattooed on her right side.New Miley Cyrus Tattoos

This is her largest tattoo to date. "It's a picture of the dream catcher that hangs over her bed with four feathers to represent her four brothers and sisters. The dream catcher is to protect them."Miley Cyrus got an anchor tattooed on wrist by artist Fabio Satori while in Brazil on her Corazon Gitano tour in May 2011. Satori explained that the tattoo represents a feeling of safety to Miley.New Miley Cyrus Tattoos

"Everyone had an idea in mind and references. She asked me something soft, I made two drawings and she chose one. Miley told her mother that she wanted something that refers to a safe port, something that reminded her that she always has a safe place to return to.
