1A Snake
Cara's snake tattoo starts near the edge of her palm and extends down her middle finger. The word feral appears at the end of it. In 2016, Cara told The Sun that the tattoo was symbolic of a new start. "At the end of it it says feral because I think I am, and it's about reinvention, shedding of old skin, new beginnings, new life."
2Yantra Tattoo

3A Lion
Cara's first-ever tattoo was the image of this lion tattooed onto her index finger. The tattoo is symbolic of her astrological sign, a Leo. It's also the one that probably introduced her to her love for ink.

4Breathe Deep
Another tattoo inked by Bang Bang, Cara got the words "breathe deep" tattooed in white ink onto the inner bicep of her arm. According to Grazia, it's a reminder to herself to keep cool.
5A Red Heart, Initials, & and A Dove
Cara has the outline of a red heart tattooed on the pinky finger of her left hand. This one was also inked by Bang Bang. Two years later, in 2015, Cara also got the letters "AC" tattooed on the inside of the same finger. The letters supposedly stood for the initials of her ex, Annie Clark, who's also known as St. Vincent. The couple has since broken up and it's unclear whether the initials are still there.
In this post, you can also see Cara has an image of a white dove tattooed on her index finger. She got this tattoo from Bang Bang at the same time she received her "breathe deep" tattoo. White doves are usually symbols of love and peace, so Cara could have gotten the tattoo to promote positive vibes in her life.
6A Diamond and Southern Cross Stars
Cara has a tattoo of a diamond inside her right ear. On the outside of the same ear, Cara has stars tattooed in the form of the Southern Cross constellation. The constellation is also a symbol of Brazil. Cara got the stars inked while on a trip to Rio de Janeiro by Brazilian tattoo artist, Daniel Tucci.

8Artwork
In 2018, Cara got a tattoo of a naked woman cuddling a tiger from her favorite tattoo artist Bang Bang. The tattoo was inspired by original artwork from an artist in Denmark named Emil Landgreen.
9Bacon
Cara made her love for bacon clear when she got the word inked on the bottom of her foot. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's late night show, Cara said "Anything bacon is good, am I right?" She also said that tattoo was meant to be left open-ended. "The 'dot, dot, dot'—it's an open-ended statement, it's not a question. It's just however you want to take it."

10An Elephant
Cara's a big fan of animal tats. In 2016, she got this tattoo of an elephant on her forearm. The tattoo was first revealed by the artist who designed it, Dr. Woo.
11Smiley Face
Cara Delevingne once got the bottom of her toe tattooed by her Suicide Squad co-star, Margot Robbie. Margot, who's known for giving her co-stars tattoos, spoke about the experience to Jimmy Fallon saying, "We did toe-mojis, we were calling them, where we'd tattoo the bottom of our toes with, like, little faces," she said. "But, uh, the thing about tattooing the bottom of your toes is that it rubs off after a while, so we have to keep redoing them."
12Geometric Flower
Jeff Kravitz//Getty Images Though this tattoo wasn't permanent, Cara got her head inked after she shaved it bald for her part in the movie Life in a Year. The "tattoo" was actually a drawing designed by hairstylist, Mara Roszak, and featured geometric figures shaped into what kind-of looks like a flower.

13Silence
Also designed by Bang Bang, Cara has the word "silence" tattooed onto her wrist. In an Instagram post she alluded to the meaning of the tattoo writing, "Silence speaks when words can't."
14Double D
Nothing says friendship like getting a matching tattoo with your bff and that's what Cara did. In 2014, Jourdan Dunn and Cara got matching tattoos of the initials "DD" inked on their hips. The initials probably stand for Cara and Jourdan's last names, which both start with a D.
15Pandora

Cara has the number 12 inked on her right ribcage in bold, black Roman numerals. The artist who worked on the job, Daniel Tucci, said that Cara told him that 12 is her lucky number.
17Coat of Arms & Five White Dots
Cara's really proud of her roots, so she has a small tattoo of a coat of arms inked on her ribcage. The coat of arms features a "D" at the bottom, presumably for her last name, and a crown and wings at the top.
If you look really closely, you can see another one of Cara's tattoos in this picture. On top of the coat of arms, you can see five dots tattooed in white ink. Cara told her artist, Bang Bang, that each dot represents a different family member.

19A Wasp
If you look closely, you can see Cara has a tiny wasp fittingly tattooed on her middle finger. The wasp seems like it's the perfect addition to the finger used for flipping people off.
20Don't Worry, Be Happy
Like her pal Rihanna, who was there when Cara got her first-ever tattoo, Cara has some ink across her underboob. The tattoo reads "don't worry, be happy," and is probably a nod to one of Cara's mantras.
