Too bad pop star Ariana Grande is vegan – she just tattooed an accidental homage to a Japanese barbecue grill on her palm.

The American singer’s attempt to ink an ode to her hit single 7 Rings has backfired after social media quickly chimed in to tell her the characters actually translated to shichirin – a small charcoal grill.

Grande, 25, had posted a now-deleted photo of the new body art on Instagram before her fans pointed out the spelling error.

In widely shared screenshots of now-deleted tweets, Grande acknowledged she had forgotten a symbol but noted that the design won’t last, as skin on the palm regrows faster than that on the rest of the body and tattoos there usually fade.

“If I miss it enough, I’ll suffer thru the whole thing next time,” she said, later writing “Pls leave me and my tambourine grill alone. thank u.”
