Here's What's Going On With JoJo Siwa's Apparent Tattoo Sleeve Suddenly Going Viral

If you're scrolling through social media, it's very possible that you saw that JoJo Siwa got what looked like a full patchwork sleeve.

After all, JoJo documented getting her first tattoo last August with Raven-Symoné and her wife Miranda Maday: the number "1031" behind her ear. She later explained on Snapchat, "The official meaning [of] 1031 is how many days my first concert tour lasted, but then '03 is the year that I was born. Three is a significant number, but I can't say why yet," she added.

So then, you might then have been surprised to see an Instagram post of JoJo's where she appeared to be fairly heavily tatted:

No judgment to those who get a full sleeve in a matter of months after their first tattoo, it's just fast!

Things intensified when JoJo appeared on Access Hollywood, and JoJo was asked if she'd named her future children. "Fully," she replied. "I actually have two tattoos dedicated to them."

"This one's dedicated to my baby girl one day, her name is Freddy. Then this is dedicated to twin boys, Eddy and Teddy," she continued. "I want three babies. I have my sperm donor lined up."

The clip went viral, with comments immediately speculating that JoJo was having a "post-Disney-like crisis" — because speculating about someone's mental health is totally cool and fun!

While I cannot speak to the aspirations JoJo has for her future children, she did confirm in her Instagram comment section that the arm tattoos are all fakes:

However, she did get two hand tattoos that were very much real:

JoJo teased a big announcement in the caption of her post, writing, "I can’t wait for you to understand what’s happening in [these photos]. Give me a few and you’ll know I promise" — so it's extremely likely that this was to generate buzz for whatever project she has coming (that is probably not the birth of Freddy, Eddy, and Teddy, but who knows).
