Personally, I'd never considered BFF tattoos until I saw Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin's matching tattoos of little broken hearts in red and white, respectively. I'm not sure what the meaning behind the broken hearts is, but they remind me of those adorable split necklaces so many of us used to wear with our best friends when we were kids.
