The award-winning YouTuber shared a follow-up video, explaining that she initially planned on tagging along with actress Raven-Symoné and her partner Miranda Maday who both wanted to get inked.

"Raven and Miranda have become two of my best friends," she said. "And they are going to get a tattoo today. I'm going with them to watch them and to support them." JoJo continued, "However, I wanna get 1031 behind my right ear. I've known it for a long time. Today might be my day; I don't know."

She further mentioned that while the married couple was convinced she would go ahead with the tattoo, she was also "99 percent" certain she would do it. Still, the social media sensation was undecided about the fonts to choose and was "torn" between two options.

Even so, she maintained her certainty of getting the tattoo she really wanted, possibly "in the next two hours." Subsequently, the 20-year-old superstar posted a second clip of a video call with her mom Jessalynn Siwa, who "approved" of the new ink.

After assuring her mom that the numbers were placed in the right order, she confessed that she loved it, prompting the dance instructor to express happiness for her. Finally debuting the tattoo to her fans, the "Kid in a Candy Store" singer shared an image of herself, taken from behind as she stood in front of a mirror.

JoJo could also be seen sitting on a cushioned chair and facing away from the camera like she was conversing with someone.

The 'Boomerang' Singer Credited The Influence Of Social Media In Unveiling Her Sexuality

Last month, the "Dance Moms" alum made headlines after she opened up about the role social media played in her sexuality and coming out journey.

In an interview, she praised social media for being a "safe space" to unveil her sexuality as she knew that even if those around her did not support her, people online would. Fans would recall that the "Blurt!" actress was 17 when she came out in 2021 via a video of her singing along to Lady Gaga's "Born This Way."

Upon her coming out, she was thrilled to have found fellow LGBTQ+ community members, which she admitted, adding, "I always told myself it would be easier to come out online than in person. And I do believe that's very true."

Prior to the candid revelation, JoJo was celebrated in style as an LGBTQ+ icon with the "Future of Hollywood" award. As The Blast reported, Symoné presented her the prize at the 10th annual "Real to Reel: Portrayals and Perceptions of LGBTQ+s in Hollywood" on Thursday, June 8th.
