Known for her comedic roles and career on Nickelodeon, Amanda Bynes is hardly the first person who would spring to mind when thinking about drug-adjacent tattoos. And yet, proudly displayed on her Instagram story is a new tat for all to see on the back of her hand.
The new piece has inscribed the words Trap Star in gothic type between her thumb and first finger. It's the latest in a collection of tattoos on her body. However, this, unlike the rest, has rather illicit connotations. But it could also be interpreted with connections to a music scene.
Image via Amanda Bynes/InstagramThe words 'Trap Star' typically refer to someone who has made their money 'Trapping' or selling drugs on the streets. Someone who refers to themselves as a trap star usually implies that they're quite successful in the black market business. It's not certain if this is quite what Bynes is implying with her new tattoo, but you never know.
However, Trap Star could also refer to the clothing brand or music genre known as Trap. There are numerous ways to interpret it. But for now, I think it's just another addition to the collection of now 'on-brand' tattoos for the ex-Nickelodeon child star. She's certainly taking a new direction from her days on All That.
Amanda Bynes has undergone quite a transformation of late. She initially made headlines with her significant weight loss, which she attributed to the fad drug Ozempic. With the help of a pharmaceutical, she went from 180 lbs to 152 lbs. This is a huge drop in weight, and she says she's much more confident because of it.
However, the traditional trap star probably would consider the pharmaceutical weight loss drug Ozempic as something worthy of the title. Typically, trapping involves something a little more dangerous, and certainly a lot less legal. But perhaps she is trying to redefine the moniker.
This isn't the first tattoo Amanda Bynes has inked into her skin in recent days. With her new size comes a new style, and prison tattoos seem to be featuring heavily in the look. She now sports a face tattoo, which is a rather cute and unassuming heart on her cheek, and a snake writhing its way up her newly toned thigh.
The latest addition to her skin in the form of a drug-related phrase surely won't be the last. Amanda Bynes is reinventing herself; it wouldn't be surprising to see a hip-hop/EDM album drop in the next year or so.
