Amanda Bynes Reveals Bold New 'Trap Star' Tattoo Following Ozempic Weight Loss
Former Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes has unveiled her latest body art transformation on social media, showcasing a new tattoo that reads "Trap Star" on her left hand. This revelation comes shortly after the actress publicly shared details about her significant weight loss journey using the medication Ozempic.
Instagram Reveal and Cryptic Meaning
Bynes took to Instagram to share several photos of her new tattoo, though she did not provide specific details about its significance. Interestingly, the two cryptic words also appear in her Instagram bio, adding to the mystery surrounding their meaning. The tattoo was completed at Atomic Tattoo & Body Piercing in Hollywood, adding to her growing collection of body art that includes a snake on her upper thigh, a rose on her forearm, and a heart on her cheek.
Weight Loss Transformation and Health Journey
The tattoo reveal follows Bynes' recent openness about her physical transformation. In December 2025, she shared that she had lost 28 pounds using Ozempic, bringing her weight down to 152 pounds from 180 pounds. She described the journey as "inspiring" in an Instagram post, despite acknowledging that she still sees room for improvement in her appearance.
This physical transformation represents just one aspect of Bynes' broader health journey. After retiring from acting in 2010, she faced significant challenges with mental health, including depression and addiction. Her parents placed her under a conservatorship in 2013, which lasted nearly nine years before ending in 2022 when professionals determined she was ready to make her own life decisions.
Previous Tattoos and Their Significance
Bynes has been open about the meanings behind some of her other tattoos:
- Roman numeral "X" on her finger: Represents ten years of friendship with her best friend Dylan, with matching tattoos commemorating their anniversary
- Snake tattoo: Symbolizes transformation, shedding the past, and embracing personal growth and renewal
Career Revival and Future Projects
Since the end of her conservatorship, Bynes has been rebuilding her career and personal life. She has launched a fragrance line, hosted a podcast, collaborated on fashion projects, and teased upcoming music releases in late 2025. While it remains unclear whether the "Trap Star" tattoo relates to potential new music projects, fans are speculating about possible connections to her artistic endeavors.
In a statement to People magazine following the end of her conservatorship, Bynes expressed gratitude to her fans for their support and emphasized her commitment to prioritizing her well-being. "I am excited about my upcoming endeavours... and look forward to sharing more when I can," she stated at the time.
The actress continues to document her journey of personal growth and transformation, with her latest tattoo serving as another visible marker of her evolving identity and artistic expression.
