Amanda Bynes Shares Meaningful New Tattoo in Rare Personal Video
What a girl wants? A tattoo, according to Amanda Bynes.
After all, the Nickelodeon alum recently got inked on her middle finger in honor of a longtime pal.
"My best friend Dylan and I have been best friends for 10 years," Amanda shared in a May 18 TikTok video. "And to mark our best friend anniversary, we got matching Roman numeral Xs for the number 10."
Showing the results, the 39-year-old continued, "I got it on my finger. Dylan got it on her rib cage."
But that's not all. Revealing her latest hair transformation, Amanda gushed, "I finally grew my bangs out."
"I'm so excited right now," she continued. "Oh my god, I can't believe it."
Of course, Amanda is no stranger to tattoos. The She's the Man star has been rocking a heart design on her cheek since 2019, as well as several other pieces throughout her body—including a butterfly on her chest, an outline of a rabbit on her ankle and a large red rose on her forearm.
In January, Amanda unveiled a tattoo of a large snake on her upper left thigh.
"It's the 'transformation' for me," she wrote on TikTok, explaining that snakes "represent shedding the past, and embracing who you’re becoming."
She added at the time, "A daily reminder that I can heal, grow, and start anew."
And indeed, Amanda has come a long way from her child star days. Since stepping away from acting, she graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in 2019.
She also ended her nine-year conservatorship in 2022, before seeking more schooling to become a manicurist and briefly hosting her own podcast.
"After thinking about it, though, I would rather get my manicurist license and have a consistent job," Amanda wrote on Instagram Stories in December 2023. "I'm going to follow that path instead. Thank you for following my journey!"

Amanda totally nailed the role of a holier-than-thou mean girl.
The actress picked up an impressive three Favorite TV Actress wins at the Kids' Choice Awards for her role in the sketch series.
Amanda made her big film debut in this film and she certainly didn't disappoint—the film brought in a whopping $48 million. Those numbers don't, ahem, lie!
Aww, remember when Amanda played Jennie Garth's fresh-faced and cheeky younger sister in this television series?
The young star was nearly unrecognizable when she played a teen boy in this take on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. We're sure even the Bard would've appreciated her entertaining performance.
The multitalented gal proved she could sing just as well as she could act in this remake of the '80s classic.
While what a gal does actually want may be up for debate, we're sure we want to see more of Amanda taking on comedic roles like this one. Plus, the fact that Brit hottie Colin Firth played her dad didn't hurt either.
