As reported by People, it was in August 2018 that Ariana Grande took to Instagram to share the story about her new tattoo. It was her way of connecting with the protagonist of the anime movie, Spirited Away. The ink featured the film's protagonist, Chihiro, prominently displayed on her forearm. Her story from the day is also accompanied by a heartfelt description of the character's growth throughout the film's narrative. 

The 2002 animated masterpiece, directed by the acclaimed Hayao Miyazaki, tells the story of Chihiro's quest to rescue her parents, who have been mysteriously transformed into pigs. In her Instagram post, Grande highlighted Chihiro's transformation from an initially timid and childlike girl to a strong, responsible, and courageous young woman. 

The character's journey and development resonated with the singer, who has undergone significant personal changes, including her engagement to comedian Pete Davidson. Grande expressed her deep affection for Chihiro, underscoring the character's importance in her life. The tattoo was executed by tattoo artist Mira Mariah, who previously collaborated with Grande on a Manchester tribute tattoo, a small bumblebee located behind her ear.
