Shay Mitchell's Tiny Tattoos Serve as Big Ink Inspiration

To commemorate the end of an era, the cast of PLL decided to go for an impromptu tattoo session on their last shoot together in Oct 2016, where each got the initial letter of their fictional counterparts on their "Shhh" finger, popularized by the show's title theme. Mitchell got "e." inked on the inside of her right index finger.

During a 2017 Refinery 29 interview, Mitchell revealed that she was not entirely receptive to the idea, broached by Benson, not because she was against the matching-ink suggestion, but because she was worried about the intense pain that comes with going under the needle. "I didn't want to be a part of this at all!" she told the publication. "I don't understand what's wrong with Henna, why can't we get something like that? Not because of the permanent factor, but because of it's painful. And on your finger, it's even more painful! So, I mean, I ended up doing it, I just held onto everybody's hands and was sweating profusely. But I made it."

In 2018, Mitchell debuted her fresh "Honey" tattoo on Instagram that she got during her visit to the Coachella Music Festival. The ink is placed on the back of her left hand, the small text curving on the skin between her thumb and index finger. While the meaning of this ink hasn't been confirmed, she got it done by celebrity tattoo artist JonBoy.

Mitchell has a blink-and-you'll-miss-it white-ink tattoo on the inside of her left wrist. The artwork includes an infinity with the word "Love" woven into it. While unveiling the ink on her Instagram, Mitchell dedicated this tattoo to her friends. "Infinite love for my #girls," she captioned the image of her new ink. She got it in 2012, and it became her very first tattoo.
