Beyonce's Tattoo Removal

On May 13th, 2014, Oh No They Didn't^[12] published a photo which featured Beyonce attending a basketball game with Jay-Z on May 10th. A close up on her ring finger shows what appears to be scar tissue where a "IV " tattoo, which she had done to in honor of her wedding date^[13], once was.

The post went on to point out the singer had posted a picture of herself on her Tumblr^[14] which featured a band-aid on that finger on April 28th, 2014.

Solange's Instagram Account

On May 12th, several celebrity news sites^[10] reported that Solange had deleted every picture of Beyonce from her Instagram account^[9] except one, which was posted on February 9th, 2013. However, the same day, Buzzfeed^[11] reported that Solange's Instagram account features at least four pictures of her and her sister, and only one picture of Beyonce had been deleted.

On May 14th, Beyonce posted five happy pictures of herself and Solange via her Instagram account.^[7] This caused many bloggers and journalists to speculate^[8] Beyonce was trying to stop rumors that there are any problems between her and her sister.

On May 15th, Solange posted a childhood photo of herself and her sister as part of the #ThrowbackThursday hashtag. In less than 24 hours it gained over 26,000 likes.
