Phoebe Bridgers has some new Bo-dy art.
The singer, 32, recently had the word “Bobby” inked in script just below her collarbone as a tribute to boyfriend Bo Burnham, according to a post from Los Angeles-based tattoo artist Matt Vazquez.
The name should ring a bell for fans of her new album, “Lost Weekend,” which dropped Aug. 14. On the track “Bobby,” Bridgers sings about her romance with the comedian, with lines like: “Now I sleep in your shirts and you live in my house” and “This could be the end of wanting.”
Burnham, 36, co-wrote seven of the album’s 16 songs and lends his vocals to “Bobby.” The couple were first linked in late 2022 before Keith Urban accidentally hard-launched them with an Eras Tour video in May 2023.
Vazquez also gave Bridgers a spiderweb on her left elbow, tucked under a heart bearing the name “Max,” in honor of her late dog.
The additions join an arm full of existing ink, including barbed wire wrapped around her bicep, a lit match on her forearm and the words “drink water” on her left wrist.
A tooth on her wrist matches ones inked on Boygenius bandmates Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker. The trio also shares Three of Cups tarot card tattoos, which symbolize the joy of friendship.
“I’m going to have a toxic tattoo year, I can tell,” Bridgers told Rolling Stone in a 2023 profile of the indie supergroup.
On a 2021 episode of Kesha’s now-defunct podcast “about “Kesha and the Creepies,” the two musicians gabbed about their appreciation of ink — good and bad.
“I gotta be honest, I think if you only have incredible tattoos, you’re a cop,” Bridgers opined.
“Or you’re a serial killer!” Kesha replied.
“I think bad tattoos are a part of life… Who gives a s–t? It’s not going to keep you up at night,” Bridgers continued, adding that she’s “on the daily hunt” for the right lower back tattoo.
Bridgers is set to kick off her album tour, The Lost Tour, this Thursday at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. The following day, her first feature film, A24’s “Primetime” co-starring Robert Pattinson, hits theaters.
