MileyCyrus has had the word Love" tattooed on her right ear.

The 17-year-old actress and singer revealed her new inking during a performance in New York City yesterday. She is currently travelling around America promoting her latest album Can`t Be Tamed, and says she got the tattoo to remind her to focus on the music instead of all the horrible things that are written about her.

Miley often attracts negative attention, with the media criticising her behaving too sexually for her young age.

"There`s so much negativity in the world and what you only need to hear is all the love," Miley explained to E! Online.

"People try to say to me, I just heard someone say this or that about you,` and I just ignore it because it`s irrelevant. Love is what makes the world go around, and that`s all we need to focus on."

Miley already has the words "Just Breathe" tattooed on her torso.
