All about Jennifer Lawrence's crazy and cute H2O hand tattoo and the charming mistake behind it

Where She Got It
The infamous Jennifer Lawrence tattoo is located on the star's right hand just above her wrist near her thumb. She was hanging out with her co-stars from The Hunger Games when they decided on the spur of the moment to get tattoos.

Who She Was With
This Jennifer Lawrence tattoo was a last-minute decision made with Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson. The talented actress explains that the whole party had planned on getting tattoos, and she was the first one to sit down in the tattoo chair. In an unlucky turn of fate, the rest of the party decided against getting tattoos after she got hers.

What It Means
The spunky star is not bashful about admitting to the simplistic backstory to her tattoo. Jennifer Lawrence's tattoo is a tribute to the fact that she will always need water to survive. She told reporters that her thought process went something like, "And I was, like, well, I'm always going to need to be hydrated, so I guess I should just get H2O on my hand..." The star also thought it may serve as a constant reminder for her to drink more water.

Why It's Not Perfect
Lawrence laughingly confessed to reporters that the number '2' in H2O is supposed to be placed lower than the 'H' and 'O' instead of higher. She sheepishly admitted that looking up this chemical covalent bond ahead of time may have prevented this silly mistake from happening. In her usual self-deprecating way, she told Conan O'Brien while appearing on his show, "I feel I have 'I'm stupid' tattooed on my hand permanently."

While the '2' being a superscript instead of a subscript is an obvious mistake, the tattoo itself is very subtle. It is rather indistinguishable from the appearance of a small scar. The gorgeous actress's choice to get the tattoo in the same color as a scar was what she reportedly defined to Hitfix as a "watered-down act of rebellion."

According to the "Daily Mail," Jennifer told Conan that "Everybody was getting tattoos, and I was, like, 'I don't want to get a tattoo,' so I got one the color of a scar."

If you find yourself in the same situation as J.Law, take the star's advice and pull up Google so you're not stuck with a permanent tattoo mistake. Honestly, though, the story of this hand tattoo is just another reason we love this down-to-earth goofball.
