• Demi Lovato showed off a new butterfly neck tattoo in a selfie she posted on Instagram on Wednesday.
• The intricate black butterfly is on the right side of the star's neck, and it's believed to be her third neck tattoo.
• She gave fans a glimpse at the new design while wearing a pale-pink floral dress paired with simple diamond jewelry.
• The star's butterfly tattoo comes after she revealed that she was writing a new song called "Butterfly" on Instagram in early August.

Demi Lovato gave fans a glimpse at her latest tattoo in photos she shared on Instagram on Wednesday.

The Grammy-nominated singer showed off a detailed black butterfly design on the right side of her neck in a selfie.

Lovato wore a pale-pink, floral mid-length dress with matching pumps and diamond jewelry that she showed off in a full-length shot, which she posted along with the selfie.

"Dear little me, I'm sorry that it took so long but baby your free," Lovato captioned the post.

Lovato's latest neck tattoo may be linked to new music, as she revealed in August that she was writing a new song called "Butterfly." The star was sporting a butterfly manicure on her Instagram story when she announced the forthcoming song.

Though the star didn't explicitly reference her new tattoo in her Instagram post, fans on Instagram were quick to notice the ink, and some questioned whether the caption was a hint at forthcoming song lyrics.

"Is that a new tattoo I see?" one user wrote.

"If that's lyrics, I'm here for it," another commented.

The butterfly tattoo is the star's third neck tattoo. She debuted her first two neck tattoos in December 2019. One tattoo is of the word "survivor," and the second is a fallen angel lifted by three doves. She also has a number of tattoos on her hand and feet.

In February, Lovato posted photos of her first two neck tattoos, writing about how they represent a "spiritual awakening."

The singer wrote that she worked with tattoo artist Alessandro Capozzi to create tattoos that were meaningful to her, referencing her journey of healing and recovery after overcoming drug abuse.

"I told him about my life and where I was at in that moment and we created a combination of images that best symbolized the spiritual awakening I was having," Lovato wrote of her first neck tattoo designs.

Representatives for Demi Lovato did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
