Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo Celebrate 'Wicked: For Good' with Matching Tattoos

Pop-star turned actress Ariana Grande and Oscar and Tony-winning actor Cynthia Erivo have recently revealed that they got matching tattoos to celebrate their roles and bond in the highly awaited sequel 'Wicked: For Good.' This is a sincere gesture that combines friendship, fandom, and film magic. The pair posted pictures of the new ink—which is tiny but incredibly symbolic—on their palms as the movie's November release date draws near. 

As a permanent homage to their time together as Glinda and Elphaba, the tattoo reads "For Good," a clear reference to the well-known duet from the original show.

On Screen Roles and Real Life Bond

In 'Wicked: For Good,' Ariana Grande takes on the role of Glinda the Good Witch, while Cynthia Erivo portrays Elphaba, the green‑skinned witch whose journey turns her into the 'Wicked: Witch of the West.' In addition to their talents, their partnership on this rendition of the popular Broadway musical has garnered recognition for the sincere friendship they have formed off-screen.

Director Jon M. Chu described their friendship as "one of the most beautiful to watch grow," noting how the two "always put Wicked bigger than themselves." While Grande said that she was destined to collaborate with Erivo and that their artistic and emotional bond was profoundly meaningful, Erivo has described singing alongside Grande as "exhilarating," and "addictive."

This enduring keepsake of their adventure is evidently motivated by their mutual regard and excitement, which seem to have transferred into a deeper on-screen relationship.

The Tattoos, The Film and What's Ahead

Grande commemorated "Wicked Month" on Instagram by sharing a picture of both women's inked palms with the caption, "Happy wicked month @wickedmovie ♡ 20 days." The tattoo, which reads "For Good" in matching lettering, is a clear allusion to the heartfelt musical's closing number, in which Glinda and Elphaba declare how they have transformed one another "for better," and "for good." They also share other matching tattoos, including poppy‑flower designs on the sides of their hands—likely a symbolic reference to the poppy field in 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' and the lore of the 'Wicked' universe.

Fans have a lot to look forward to in the sequel, which is set for its release on 21st November, 2025, both in terms of the development of their characters and the ongoing sisterhood between Grande and Erivo in real life. Their ink serves not just as a tribute to the film, but as a sign that their creative and personal bond will endure long even after the credits roll.
