A recent shirtless photo of Tom Holland has revealed a discreet tattoo that appears to be dedicated to Zendaya. The small “z” marking is located on the actor’s ribcage and quickly drew attention from fans online.

The tattoo was reportedly done on November 27, 2024, at the Boston Tattoo Company. Artist Lily Jarnryd, who completed the work, confirmed in a social media post that Holland and Zendaya visited the studio together. On the same day, Zendaya is said to have gotten a small “t” tattoo under her arm, mirroring Holland’s gesture.

According to Jarnryd, the couple was friendly and in high spirits during the session. The matching tattoos were completed several weeks before the public announcement of their engagement, leading fans to interpret the ink as a private expression of their commitment.

While Holland has been seen with various tattoos in the past, this latest design is one of the most personal. The subtle nature of the “z” ensured it went unnoticed for months, until the actor’s recent shirtless image brought it into public view.

The reveal has sparked discussions across social media, with many praising the understated and intimate nature of the matching designs. The moment has also fueled interest in the couple’s relationship timeline, as the tattoos predate the official engagement news.

The photograph and subsequent confirmation from the tattoo artist have turned a previously private detail into a widely discussed celebrity news story.
