Ellie Goulding appeared in great spirits as she beamed while touching down ahead of the 83rd Venice Film Festival on Tuesday. The singer, 39, appeared to debut a new red tattoo across her hand and halfway up her arm as she kept it casual in a white T-shirt. The star, who already boasts a collection of intricate fine line tattoos, has yet to open up to fans about the meaning of the new inking. Earlier this year she was seen with a small segment of red tattooed on one part of her hand and it appears Ellie has now gone back to have the full artwork complete after giving birth to her daughter in March. The star already has a red ink tattoo which is the Tibetan mantra ‘Om mani padme hum’ which means ‘jewel in the lotus on her left wrist by artist Dr Woo in California – so she may have visited the same artist again. Ellie also has a large intricate diamond-esque shaped tattoo by Dr Woo on her ribcage which she got in 2016 after performing at Coachella.
