It's no secret that Willow Smith is a spacey gal. And no, we don't mean absent-minded; we mean she literally loves outer space. In fact, she professed her love for the cosmos in a July 2021 interview with Allure, talking about her appointment as a brand ambassador for Mugler's Alien Goddess perfume. "I've always been into everything and anything extraterrestrial," she recalled. "I've also been into goddesses throughout history, mythology, and religion — representations of the divine feminine." Apparently, she loves the cosmos so much that she recently had the image of a galaxy tattooed onto her arm. 

Taking to Instagram on March 2, Smith shared a photo of her new ink with the caption, "my manzz did it AGAIN!!," with her nine million-plus followers. The tattoo depicts a hand extending out to a galaxy. 

Los Angeles-based tattoo artist Raymond Jimenez of Body Electric tattoo studio is responsible for her new ink. Jimenez also shared a photo and two videos of Smith's tat on Instasgram, providing a close-up look of the details. "Reaching into the cosmos with @willowsmith done at #bodyelectrictattoo," he confirmed in his latest post. 

Smith's space-themed tattoo reminds us a lot of Instagram's beloved zodiac tattoo trend. Similar to her galaxy ink, zodiac tattoos also take some cues from the stars, in addition to the principles of astrology. There may be only 12 zodiac signs, but there are more than 12 ways to illustrate the signs by the means of a tattoo.
