The Bellas may look alike, but they're not identical. Eagle-eyed viewers (read: perverts) will note that Brie has a tattoo on her lower midsection. Nikki has no ink whatsoever. Sadly, the story behind the tattoo is a tragic one. As Brie said, describing its significance:
Death is always a life changing experience, especially when the person is close to you. At 18, I had to experience losing my boyfriend to a tragic death. Not only was it sad losing my boyfriend but his beautiful soul. I was fortunate enough to learn from him. Instead of losing Faith I gained spirituality. He has a very special place in my heart, always will. The Bear Claws you see on my lower stomach are in memory of him.
It's more than just a picture -- it's a reminder of someone Brie carries with her at all times.
