Teen pop star Miley Cyrus and actress Hilary Duff both have tattoos that they say are used as mindfulness reminders and stress relief in times of chaos.

Miley, who's tattoo made it's big debut last week, reads: "Just Breathe".

Reportedly, the ink stain serves as remembrance of Miley's friend Vanessa who passed away from Cystic Fibrosis over three years ago, while some sources say it also serves as a reminder for Miley to "just breathe" in times of rush in a busy life.

Duff, who's tattoo reads "Shine" has the word on her hand to remind her to always "sparkle", says celeb gossip blog Wenn.com.

“It’s just for me to look at and remember. I feel like it’s easy to lose your shine, to lose that special thing about yourself," Wenn.com quotes Duff as saying.

Adding, "When you get busy or you get tired and you feel like everything is fake or the world is against you, it’s important to keep your character and to let your light shine.”
