Their love is written in permanent ink.
Ariana Grande added to her vast tattoo collection recently, showing off some new ink at the London stop of her “Eternal Sunshine” tour. Fans noticed that the singer, 33, had a new phrase tattooed on her clavicle, which appeared to read “I do love you.”
Notably, Grande’s boyfriend Ricky Álvarez has the same words inked in the same spot along his left collarbone, though in a different font.
It appears to match her boyfriend Ricky Álvarez’s “I do love you” tattoo.

The coordinated ink could be a reference to the 1965 Billy Stewart song of the same name, which includes lyrics like, “I do love you, yes, I do now” and “Pretty little baby said, I want you to try / To understand a that I, that I, that I / I want to be your lover man.”
Grande teased the new design in an Instagram post on Aug. 12, with the words written out in quotes. In the same post, she went Instagram-official with Álvarez, sharing photos of herself hugging the former background dancer.

Page Six exclusively confirmed that the pair, who dated from 2015 to 2016, rekindled their romance last month following Grande’s breakup with Ethan Slater. Álvarez first joined Grande’s team as one of her backup dancers for a performance in 2014, and stayed on for her Honeymoon Tour in 2015
It’s hardly the first time Grande has commemorated an important relationship with new body art.
She and her “Wicked” co-star Cynthia Erivo have multiple matching tattoos, as did she and ex-fiancé Pete Davidson during their whirlwind relationship; most of those have since been removed or covered up.
