She recently got a brand-new tattoo honoring her captivating performance in "Wicked." If there's something worth getting an ink on, that is the achievements in one's life, and Ariana Grande knows it.

On Tuesday, Ariana Grande flaunted her fresh Glinda the Good Witch tattoo.

In a video made for Vogue, Ariana displayed her beauty routine while sporting a black tattoo on her right hand. Ariana, 30, presently plays Glinda in the next Wicked movie, which she was filming in London before the latest strikes halted production of.

In the YouTube video, Glinda had practically the entire back of her hand covered and was upside down.

In a recent Allure interview, Ariana acknowledged getting the Wicked tattoo.

The "Positions" singer had dozens of tattoos already, but she felt her most recent was unique.

"This one I knew I wanted to get for a very long time," she told the outlet, which revealed it's on her right hand.

"It's Glinda from the original L. Frank Baum book," she added.

"I waited forever to fill up this hand. And I thought, "I'm gonna wait for the right thing to come along," and yeah, that felt very right."

It happens at the same time as her suspected relationship with Wicked co-star and Boq in the show, Ethan Slater, 31.

Since 2012, when Ariana Grande got her first tattoo-a little heart on her toe to celebrate the recording of her debut album, "Yours Truly"-her collection of ink has grown significantly. As of right present, the 30-year-old can lay claim to 61 tattoos.

The remaining five have all been totally covered with further tattoos, while the others may still be seen in various Instagram posts and music videos.

Ariana Grande reportedly moved to New York with her new boyfriend Ethan Slater, but that doesn't mean she cannot choose to skip MTV VMAs when the event was just being held in neighboring Newark, New Jersey.

Because the star certainly skipped it. Does not mean there is a deep reason for it though.

Unsurprisingly, Grande chose not to attend what would have been her first award ceremony of the year because she was not nominated for any VMAs.

It should be noted that Grande last attended the event in 2020.
