**Update: Word on the street is, the proud owner of the third “matching” arrow tattoo in Sarah Hyland’s group of besties is her new boyfriend Dominic Sherwood, who posted a photo of his new bicep arrow tat on Twitter on March 7, along with the caption: “Evidence of last night’s escapades!!”
Just four months after proving her “independence and resilience” with a behind-the-ear hummingbird tattoo, “Modern Family” star Sarah Hyland has gone under the needle for another meaningful tat, this time opting for some BFF ink with best gal pal Stephanie Branco and another unidentified friend. The three ladies hit up the famous Shamrock Social Club tattoo shop in West Hollywood last weekend and left with three matching (but not identical) arrow tattoos commemorating their lasting friendship, although Sarah only revealed two of the three tats in her Instagram pic.
Sarah Hyland’s new tattoo features a small and simple tattoo of an arrow inked near the center of her upper back, and the actress showed off the sweet ink on Instagram on March 8, captioning the tattoo pic: “What did I do this weekend? Got some ink with my best friends.” Although Sarah Hyland’s arrow tattoo technically “matches” her best friend’s ink, Stephanie Branco’s tat actually features a slightly different design, with a double-pointed arrow, a different fletching, and a unique image of an eye at the center of the shaft. According to Sarah, there was a total of three arrow tattoos, but we’re not sure yet who the third tat belongs to.
Arrow tattoos are fast becoming the go-to design for friendship tributes, and a number of other inked-up celebrities have opted for arrow tattoos recently, including Louis Tomlinson, Ellie Goulding, Miley Cyrus, Rita Ora and Ireland Baldwin. Other cute friendship-inspired tattoos debuted recently include Cara Delevingne’s “DD” tattoo with bestie Jourdan Dunn, Hilary Duff’s “ride or die” ghost tattoo with BFF Alanna Masterson, and Rita Ora’s wishbone tattoo with good friend and stylist Kyle Devolle. What do you all think of Sarah Hyland’s new friendship arrow tattoo?
