'Off Campus' star Ella Bright reveals cast got matching tattoos to mark show’s success

Bright said the decision to get matching tattoos came from the strong sense of camaraderie among the cast

Off Campus star Ella Bright has revealed that several members of the hit Prime Video cast got matching tattoos to commemorate the launch of the series, celebrating their close bond off-screen as the show continues to gain momentum.

In a makeup tutorial video with Allure, Bright shared that the cast decided to mark the debut of the romantic drama with permanent ink as a symbol of their shared experience on set. She explained that the gesture reflected how close the young ensemble had become while filming the show in Vancouver.

Bright revealed that co-star Jalen Thomas Brooks, who plays John Tucker, chose a mountain tattoo designed to represent his castmates, while Mika Abdalla, who portrays Allie Hayes, opted for a tattoo inspired by her cat’s name alongside a pomegranate design. Bright herself got a ladybug tattoo, which she said symbolises good luck and family.

The actress said the decision to get matching tattoos came from the strong sense of camaraderie among the cast, who have often described the set of Off Campus as feeling like a close-knit community rather than a typical production environment. The group’s off-screen bond has frequently been highlighted in interviews and behind-the-scenes content since the series premiered.

Based on Elle Kennedy’s bestselling Off-Campus novels, the Prime Video adaptation follows the romantic and emotional lives of college students at Briar University, blending sports drama with coming-of-age relationships. The series has quickly built a large fanbase, driven in part by the chemistry between its ensemble cast and the popularity of the source material.

Bright, who plays Hannah Wells, has been one of the breakout stars of the adaptation, with her performance drawing attention for its emotional depth and authenticity. The show’s success has already secured early confidence from the streamer, with the series renewed ahead of its premiere window.

The cast’s tattoo reveal adds another layer to the show’s growing cultural footprint, highlighting how strongly the production has resonated with its young ensemble as well as its global audience. As Off Campus continues to expand its storyline and fanbase, moments like these underline the real-life friendships formed behind the scenes of the fictional Briar University world.
