Gypsy Rose Blanchard shows off new tattoos

On Thursday, July 25, Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the American Munchausen-by-proxy survivor, posted clips of her new tattoos on TikTok before sharing them on Instagram.

She lifted her golden hair to reveal her large Phoenix tattoo on her back. Although the intricate design itself conveys the tattoo's meaning, she included a picture of the mythical bird for additional clarity.

The bird holds significant symbolism for Blanchard's life, as many fans have noted in the comments. They compare her to the Phoenix, suggesting that, like the mythical bird, she is emerging anew from her past struggles.

Apart from the Phoenix, she has also gotten herself tattooed the Unalome symbol from Buddhism and Hinduism. 

Alongside the picture of her tattoo, she included a diagram of the Unalome, which explains that the image symbolizes a path to freedom. It illustrates that the journey to Nirvana or Enlightenment is achieved through a winding path of mistakes and growth.

Earlier in April, it was revealed that Blanchard and her partner, Ken Urker, got matching husky tattoos. In the clip, Blanchard also shared the inspiration behind her husky tattoos.

However, the ‘Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up’ star clarified to her fans that all the tattoos were done before her pregnancy, easing the minds of the concerned fans. She wrote, "DISCLOSURE All tattoos were done BEFORE pregnancy."

Currently, Blanchard is expecting her first baby with her boyfriend Urker. The baby is due to arrive in january 2025.
