Demi Lovato debuts 'survivor' tattoo after mental illness and drug abuse battle

Demi Lovato has shown off a powerful new tattoo celebrating her triumph over drug abuse.



The pop star, 27, debuted her new body art in a picture posted on the Instagram page of prominent Los Angeles tattoo artist to the stars, Dr. Woo, who tagged her in the image with the caption “On a real one”.

The black and white photo reveals a delicately detailed tattoo of the word “Survivor” across the side of Demi’s neck.

Posting the image to his 1.7 million Instagram followers, many of the Skyscraper singer’s fans were quick to show support by posting comments such as “My warrior” and “She’s a survivor in more ways than we know.''

As well as overdosing and being rushed to hospital in 2018, Demi has faced a string of addiction battles in the last 10 years.

The former Disney star has endured several stints in rehab, and been open about her struggle with mental health as well as substance abuse.
