Demi Lovato is entering 2020 with a new tattoo that bears an important message.

While the "Sorry Not Sorry" singer didn't reveal her new ink on her respective social media accounts, the artist behind the tattoo was more than happy to show off his latest creation on Instagram.

L.A.-based tattoo artist Dr. Woo revealed Lovato's new body art, which is the word "Survivor" delicately written in cursive on her neck.

"On a real one," he captions, alongside a strong arm and praying emoji.

We do not know what inspired Lovato's new tattoo, but fans were quick to theorize what it could possibly mean.

The new ink comes over a year after her near-fatal overdose. While Lovato has been candid with her struggles with sobriety, she has also openly talked about her battles with eating disorders and mental health, such as her diagnosis with bipolar disorder.

The popular theory is that the tattoo signifies Lovato's personal victories over her numerous obstacles. However, fans didn't completely rule out that the tattoo could be a hint at her upcoming new music.

Woo is no stranger to neck tattoos. He famously inked Justin Bieber's "Forever" neck tattoo, as well as Bieber's wife Hailey's "Lover" script on her neck.
