Miley Cyrus debuted a brand new tattoo on Sunday that has some fans divided. The new ink on her right tricep features the outline of a naked body, as inspired by artist Henri Matisse’s work titled “Le Nu aux oranges” (“Nude With Oranges”). The new body art also appears to have been partially inspired by the late Leonard Cohen’s art and poetry book, Dance Me to the End of Love.

Cyrus quoted Cohen in the caption of her post that debuted the new ink, writing, “Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin. Dance me through the panic til I’m gathered safely in. Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove. Dance me to the end of love.”
