Chrissy Teigen has shared her dainty new tattoo to the world in a black and white snap online.
The 36-year-old author, who is married to John Legend, took to Instagram earlier this week to boast about her new artwork as she introduced her 36.8 million followers to her new little friend.
And the star shared what compelled her to get the African animal added to her collection of body art, as she revealed she was once an exotic animal in a previous life.
Underneath the adorable picture, she wrote in Thai scripture: “In a previous life I was an elephant.”
The photo showed the mum-of-two's grey jumper sleeve which was pulled up to expose her new tattoo underneath the dates of her family written down her arm.
She made sure to tag her Los Angeles tattoo artist, Winter Stone, in the outtake as she proudly boasted about her new addition.
Also visible in the sweet snap were her perfectly manicured long round nails which featured small white hearts on them in celebration of the festive season.
Moments before she debuted her new ink, she shared a clip of the public figure in her Stories as she made last minute changes to her piece.
Before the had the image permanently etched into her skin, she was seen asking her tattoo artists to make a few modifications to her ultra-realistic artwork.
She joked: “Can you do high heels on its front two, no, its back two?”
In addition to her previous artwork, the star shared another of her minimal tattoos which had an emotional meaning behind it.
Last June, her five-year-old daughter Luna designed a butterfly tattoo which she had inked on the underside of one of her arms.
The star opened up about the reason behind her beautiful tattoo during an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where she told the host about her beautiful drawing.
She recalled: “Luna was drawing on us one night, and she was like, ‘I love this. This is the best butterfly I've ever drawn,’ and I was like, ‘I agree’.
“And then she drew a beautiful floral bouquet on John’s arm, and he was like, ‘I’ll tattoo mine if you tattoo yours,’ and I was like, ‘Well, I don’t wanna say it, but yours looks a lot better than mine’.”
