The Story Behind Hailey Baldwin's 'G' Tat

by Augusta Statz

This latest trend first came to my attention about a month ago when Hailey Baldwin got a lowercase “g” tattoo behind her ear. And apparently, she’s not the only star with this letter permanently part of her skin. Celebs like Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson and Justin Bieber also have versions of the letter tatted somewhere. So what’s making all of these A-listers go crazy for this ink? What does the letter "g" tattoo mean?

Well, it’s actually a very touching story.

The letter stands for “Georgia,” not the state, but rather the name of a little girl who has touched these stars with her story. Georgia is the daughter of Pastor Chad Veach and Julia Veach, who was born with a very rare brain disorder called Lissencephaly.

Georgia was diagnosed with the disease at only 4 months old and has left an impression on these celebrities. Connected through the Zoe Church in L.A., Baldwin and the others have chosen to honor the little girl by getting a tattoo of her initial. If you ask me, it’s one of the best reasons to get inked that I've ever heard.

See how each person has chosen to honor the little girl in ink.

Hailey Baldwin

She went for a classy cursive lowercase letter.

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez opted for a similar behind-the-ear tattoo.

Ashley Benson

Benson went a little more bold with a capital "G" on her wrist.

Justin Bieber

He also opted for a more bold representation of the letter to honor the brave parents and their daughter.

Who knew a tiny tattoo could hold so much meaning?
