Nico Tortorella Shares a Revealing Tattoo That's Hard to Ignore

Nico Tortorella once said they have "too many [tattoos] to count," but their latest ink is hard to ignore.

The 33-year-old "Younger" star�revealed a new tattoo this past weekend – a graphic, ink design that stretches from neck to heel, reports People magazine. "Younger" recently completed its final season on Paramount+ and coincidently, Tortorella played a tattoo artist on the show.

They revealed the tat on their Instagram Stories Friday, complete with a pic of their backside showing the entire tattoo, which begins at their neck, runs down the middle of the back and then moving to their right side shadowing their buttocks before running down their right leg to their heel.

"Inspired by the one and only @bethanycmeyers," Tortorella wrote under their video, tagging�their spouse, who has a�similar line tattoo.�Tortorella called himself "sexually fluid," identifying as bisexual in 2016. They married Meyers in 2018.

Along with the full-body footage of their tattoo, Tortorella also included a photo of their new ink, writing, "We love a freehand outline" and tagging tattoo artist @fcknrx, who shared their own photos of the star's new body art on�Instagram.�

"Floor to ceiling geologism for nico, thank you so much for your trust and endurance," the tattoo artist captioned the photo.�
In an�Instagram�post, Tortorella thanked the artist writing, "Their work is mind blowing and our conversations yesterday were equally as healing. Thank you for taking on this project. and thank you for reminding me that growth and decay are inevitably one in the same."�

Tortorella talked about the tattoo with People.

"If I wasn't a full-time actor, I think I would be fully covered. I get tattoos all the time. My agents want to die. They gave up hassling me a long time ago," the actor said. "The art of tattoos, historically, is one of the most sacred practices. I'm really strongly connected to the ancient practices of tattoo work – not just, 'Oh, it's cool to get tattoos now.'"

Tortorella also opened up about the tattoo on Instagram.

"I am not going to explain what this tattoo means to me," they said. "Instead i am going to leave you with a quote from the artist from a recent interview."

Tattoo artist tattoo artist @fcknrx wrote: "There's profound hope in remembering the universe has no interest in you. More simply, in the current state of being constantly bombarded with dogmatic philosophies on how to exist socially and how to construct an identity for yourself, it can become harder and harder to decipher what you actually value. It's dangerous to spend your time sorting through objects or experiences to decide whether or not they represent you. For me personally, it's important to make time to be in nature and face its blank stare and remember that there were beautiful things before anyone decided that there were. Thank again you rex."

They also said the most important thing they have learned from their "Younger" experience is "To lead with love." Adding, "I think that that's really what Josh taught me more than anything, and what this show has taught me," Tortorella told�Hidden�Remote�in June. "I think what [creator] Darren [Star] has always done such a good job doing, is he's living in the perpetual optimism, his joy."

They continued: "Politically, socially, we have been through a lot, and we've always had�Younger�to lighten the mood. I think that is an important sentiment to take with you every single day, like find your 'Younger.' It's there forever."

Whenever you may be having a hard time, there is something that exists that can reframe the situation. We all have access to that," they said. "That's kind of the meaning of life."�
