Recently, fans have been particularly interested in what the tattoo on the back of Britney’s neck is meant to represent, in part because she had it removed more than a decade ago. The tattoo, which features a Hebrew Kabbalah, was first etched on the singer’s neck in 2004. She got the tattoo after receiving advice from Madonna suggesting that it would be a healing force for her in her life moving forward. 

The goal was for the tattoo to provide solace for Britney whenever she faced difficulties in her life. In 2008, though, the singer removed the tattoo altogether.
