SELENA Gomez has finally unveiled the final design of her massive new back tattoo, and it turned out she and new BFF Cara Delevingne got matching ink.
The 29-year-old performer first teased the fresh artwork in a mysterious black-and-white snapshot a few weeks ago, but it’s since been colored in and finished up.

Done by popular New York City tattoo shop Bang Bang, the artist shared the photo of the completed piece on their Instagram on Tuesday.
Selena moved her short hair away from the middle of her back and wore a backwards jacket, left open, to reveal her bare back.
In the gorgeous new photo, Selena shared an up-close look at the stunning tattoo now located on the upper area.
All along the top of her spine is a dripping rose, right underneath a previous tattoo she’d had done at the back of her neck that reads “LXXVI.”
The new, colorful ink was done in bright pink for the flower petals and mixes of black and dark pink for the drippings and shadows coming down from it.
Bang Bang captioned the shot: “Watercolor on @selenagomez. Thank you for always being wonderful.”
The tattoo shop then surprised fans on Wednesday by revealing Selena wasn’t the only celebrity to get the design, as her new BFF and Only Murders in the Building co-star Cara also got the same ink.
While SelGo has hers on her back, Cara opted for a side tattoo.
She appeared topless in a video showcasing the fresh ink, which is placed on one side of her torso, starting just an inch over from her side-boob and dripping down to a few inches about her hips.
Selena’s was placed right under her older LXXVI tattoo, and Cara has hers under her Roman numerals tattoo, though hers reads “XII.”
Bang Bang wrote in the video’s caption: “Matching for @caradelevingne. I had so much fun making these tattoos— thanks for always trusting me Cara.
“fyi I didn’t tell them til the end that these were my first watercolor tattoos ever.”
The friends have gotten closer the last few months after the model joined the season 2 cast of the Disney alum’s Hulu show, Only Murders in the Building.
The pair were seen having a fun night out together at a Knicks game last month at Madison Square Garden.
Sitting together courtside at the basketball game, the duo ended up appearing on the jumbotron.
They giggled and smiled at each other as the crowd cheered, before Selena turned to her friend and gave her a big kiss on the cheek.
Fans are now “screaming” in delight over the two cementing their friendship with matching tattoos.
The duo are now being dubbed “Caralena,” and fans of theirs are overjoyed to see the “rise” of their close relationship.
One Instagram user commented: “Caralena? We love to see it”
Another wrote: “CARALENAAAAA OMG!!!!”
A third said: “This is so hawt. carlena stans rise.”
Selena first teased her tattoo a couple of weeks ago as she stood in an open-spaced room with graffiti over the windows, her face turned away from the camera.
The Only Murders in the Building actress wore black pants and went topless to show off her new tat, covering up with just a long jacket that was placed on backwards and left open, revealing just the tattoo.
The full-body photo was taken at a bit of a distance, causing fans to wonder what exactly the tattoo was of at the time.
Many thought it was a “dream catcher,” but a few guessed correctly that it’s a rose.
