" I am a perfectionist especially when it comes to photography and I was trying to help make something beautiful . "

So,Cara Delevingnegot a newtattoorecently.

A photo of the new ink — which features an abstract image of a face and the definition of the Italian word “dormiveglia” — was shared by the artist behind it,Matteo Angeroniof the Italian tat spot, theWhite Whale Tattoo Society.

Others suggested that it wasn’t that big of a deal:

“Just to be clear to everyone!” she wrote. I chose to take my bra off, the picture didn’t look good with my bra on. I am a perfectionist especially when it comes to photography and I was trying to help make something beautiful. Everyone calm down please. Thank you x."

But the questions didn’t stop there. People were also curious as to why the tattoo defined “dormiveglia” as “the place that stretches between sleeping and walking,” and suggested that the last word was supposed to actually be “waking” — which, yes, would make more sense than the actual tattoo.

Matteo replied to one comment pointing out the potential misspelling, “Maybe we choose like that?” (His reply, as you can see below, wasn’t very nice overall.)

What is the truth? We may never know for sure…

A closeup of Cara

you really needed to put her naked for an arm tattoo that's why most female clients will not go to a male tattoo artist

cool tat. why is she naked? smily emoji

as a woman i'd never go to a male artist who posed a client needlessly topless. Do better

it's a cool tattoo but i don't think she has to be shirtless

secret: without a bra the focus falls on the tattoo, if you only see that she is naked, you don't deserve beauty and art!

person saying they didn't realize she was naked at first because they were focused on the tattoo

just to be clear, i chose to take my bra off

closeup of the tattoo with the word walking

i find it more offensive that waking is spelling incorrectly

no you spelled it wrong it's supposed to be waking not walking

was walking instead of waking a choice or a typo
