There's actually a really meaningful message behind Ariana and Pete's latest matching tattoos.
Sound the alarms, call your parents, alert the church elders because Ariana Grande just got another new tattoo. From the recent 'H2GKMO' ink to the touching tribute to the victims of the Manchester attack, all of Ariana's tattoos have meaningful stories behind them and her most recent one is no exception.
On of her many outings in New York City, fans noticed that Ariana has the number '8418' tattooed on the top of her left foot. If you're well versed in Pete Davidson's tattoos, you'll also know he has the same number inked on his left arm and has had it for several years.
The number is actually a tribute to Pete's late father Scott Davidson. Scott was a firefighter with the FDNY who sadly died saving lives in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. As reported by E! News, '8418' was his badge number.
.@ArianaGrande debuts a new tattoo on her foot. The tattoo reads “8418,” which happens to be the same badge # that Pete’s dad wore on the day of the 9/11 attack. His dad was a firefighter, who died as a hero trying to save the victims. pic.twitter.com/MKTUK7xMBf

Fans are also speculating the number might also be a hint at the date of their upcoming wedding... August 4th, 2018 = 8/4/18 (if you're American), which would be a nice tribute to Pete's late father.
I’m going to go ahead and make the prediction that Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson will wed on August 4, 2018. 8418 was Pete’s late dad’s badge number, and it is clearly significant to both of them. It could also explain the “rushed” engagement.

I have a theory that Pete and Ariana might get married on August 4, 2018 (it’s a Saturday)
I’m tweeting this so I have my prediction on the record in case this does actually happen https://t.co/sr5XPLYJy0
This now marks their fourth matching tattoo - they've both got a cloud, the phrase 'H2GKMO', the word 'Reborn' and now the tribute to Pete's dad. Pete also has two other tattoos inspired by Ariana - her initials on his thumb and the Dangerous Woman ears behind his ear.
And they're showing no signs of stopping. ✌️
