Willow Smith was inundated with love on Thursday as the singer celebrated her 24th birthday!
The only daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith marked her big day in private but shared several posts with her friends wishing her a happy birthday on social media.
One included a stunning picture of the singer posing out at sea in a stylish black bikini.
The picture highlighted her impressive tattoo collection, including a huge design on her upper left arm, featuring a hand reaching up towards a solar system.
She also has four hand prints up her left arm and several flowers, including a lotus, which she got in 2021 to match with her mom Jada and grandmother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris.
The trio got the tattoos during an episode of Red Table Talk that year. She said at the time: “The lotus represents spiritual enlightenment. And we hear the saying, ‘Through the mud grows the lotus’… I think all of us, from different perspectives in life have had that journey.”
The star opened up about her dad’s reaction to her tattoos during the episode too. She revealed that her famous father liked her tattoos even though he was nervous.

To mark her birthday on October 31, Willow also shared a a series of pictures of herself on social media, including a sweet selfie of her in bed with her beloved pet cat.

“Their spirals and swirls are anything but random; they reflect mineral rings, each a fossilized moment, recording collisions with other galaxies, waves of star births, and gravitational pulls from dark matter. It’s fascinating to ponder the similarities between studying a galaxy’s structure and reading a stalagmite core.
