Amanda Bynes debuted a new tattoo on Instagram on December 30. The What A Girl Wants star, 33, posted a selfie of herself with new ink on her face. The tattoo is the outline of a heart on her cheek. It was noticeably lopsided, but it wasn’t clear if it was permanent or temporary.
In the pic, the Easy A star sported her bright pink hair and a chunky septum ring. She was in a house and women were sitting at a table behind her, but it wasn’t obvious who they were or whose house she was in.
Amanda’s new ink comes two weeks after she checked herself out of a sober-living facility. Her parents — Lynn and Rick — reportedly were trying to get her back into treatment. While she lived there, she had to undergo drug testing, abide by a curfew, and received help with mental health treatment.

Even though everyone thought I was the ‘good girl,’ I did smoke marijuana from that point on. I didn't get addicted [then] and I wasn't abusing it. And I wasn't going out and partying or making a fool of myself ... yet.”
