Us Weekly – 6 hours ago Miley Cyrus just can't stop getting inked! The 20-year-old singer revealed via Twitter on Sunday, Aug. 4, that she got yet another tattoo done by Kat Von D.

This isn't the first time the former Disney Channel star has gone to Von D for a new tattoo. The "Party In The U.S.A." singer got two crossed arrows...

Unfortunately, there is much confusion regarding the overall safety aspects of permanent cosmetics. For example, based on a few reports of symptoms localized to the tattooed area during MR imaging, many radiologists have refused to perform examinations on individuals with permanent cosmetics, particularly tattooed eyeliner.
