The Grande Pokemon product placement?

This is news today…..

Tattoo artist Kane Navasard shared a photo of Ariana Grande’s new ink on Monday, tagging the singer and writing in the caption, “For the best Pokémon trainer in the game, @arianagrande.”

Grande previously posted a photo of the tat on her Instagram Story, thanking Navasard and writing, “I’ve wanted this for so long.”

The tattoo depicts the Pokemon character Eevee, which has fox-like ears – similar to the cat ears Grande once favored wearing – and a big tail.

But inquiring minds would love to know… who paid!? Certainly a tattoo could not be product PLACEMENT, could it!?

The 25-year-old tweeted about her love of the “Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!” Nintendo Switch game on Sunday, telling a fan on Twitter how she spent one of her recent days off playing for 15 hours.

NEVER… RIGHT///
