Also in 2014, Collins got a tattoo on her foot. The ink reads "the nature of this flower is to bloom," which is a quote from author Alice Walker, and has a rose coming out of the word "bloom."

In 2015, Collins gave fans a peek at her wrist tattoo in an Instagram selfie. The design features a British crown, a heart with wings underneath it, and the letters "LJ," which are her initials, inside of the heart.

She captioned the post "wear a crown, some wings, a lil LJ, and my heart on my sleeve."

In 2016, Collins took a trip to South Korea and got a new back tattoo to commemorate the experience. The addition is of a woman sitting on a lily pad sits directly under her "Love Always and Forever" design.

Collins shared a photo of the tattoo on Instagram and captioned it, "A beautiful keepsake from an incredibly memorable Korean adventure. Thank you @tattooist_doy for adding your artistry to my personal collection."

At an Oscars afterparty in 2016, Collins gave us a glimpse at a tattoo on her side, although it's unclear exactly when she got it.

The ink is of a fairy perched on a crescent moon holding a dandelion in its hand. The text "fragile thing" is written next to the fairy.

Lily Collins has five tattoos on her wrist, back, side, and foot.
The Emily in Paris star doesn't talk about her tattoos often and usually keeps them hidden.

Each of Collins's tattoos has a special meaning.

Like many people, Collins carefully selected all of her tattoos and picked designs that hold a special meaning to her.

Collins isn't the only Emily in Paris star with body art. Ashley Park, who plays her onscreen best friend Mindy Chen, has four tiny tattoos, and Camille Razat (who plays Camille) has one on her forearm.
