Lily Collins reveals long-standing ribcage tattoo at PaleyFest LA 2026

At the PaleyFest LA 2026, Lily Collins, 37, showcased her rarely seen ribcage tattoo, a delicate Tinkerbell-style design perched on a crescent moon, holding a dandelion with the words ‘fragile thing’ beside it. This tattoo, first revealed at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in 2016, predates Zendaya’s recent ribcage tattoo by a decade, despite recent media comparisons. Collins has been a long-term tattoo enthusiast, with five tattoos on her wrist, side, foot, and back, many of which feature floral themes in reference to her name. Her foot tattoo of a rose, inspired by the phrase ‘the nature of this flower is to bloom,’ remains her favourite, symbolising strength and resilience. At PaleyFest, she revealed the tattoo beneath a striking red velvet cutaway top while attending a special screening of her hit show. The event highlighted Collins’ continued presence in Hollywood and her distinctive, personal style, demonstrating her commitment to meaningful body art and the enduring nature of her tattoos. The article also touches on the temporary media attention surrounding Zendaya’s tattoo, contrasting it with Collins’ longer history in the tattoo world.
