Ariana Grande expanded her personal tattoo collection this weekend when she got a tattoo of one of her favourite Pokémon, Eevee, done on her arm.

The popstar posted a photo of it on her Instagram Story recently. "I've wanted this for so long," she wrote, tagging the tattoo artist she worked with, Kane Navasard. "Thank u sm."

Ariana's love of Eevee has been well-established on her social media. Hours before she unveiled the tattoo, she told a fan on Twitter that she had spent her day off playing Pokémon: Let's Go Eevee on her Nintendo Switch.

"Honestly. Yesterday I had a day off and I played Pokémon Let's Go Eevee for fifteen hours. Honestly," she wrote when she was asked what games she had on her Switch.

Ariana has also shared photos of Eevee on her Instagram before and on her Instagram Story.

A shot she shared this weekend featured her playing Pokémon Go on her phone while hanging with friends (a GIF of Eevee appeared to also be there). Her love of the series is no secret.

Ariana is not the first celebrity either to make a shoutout to Pokémon on their social media.

Back when Gigi Hadid was dating Zayn Malik last year, she first hinted they were back together by posting an Instagram Story update featuring Pokémon. Gigi shared a photo of Zayn kissing her cheek with Pokémon GIFs splattered all over the Story image:

Zayn, meanwhile, shared a photo around the same time on his own Instagram Story with a Yu-Gi-Oh card, an all-around good dose of millennial childhood nostalgia. (Zayn and Gigi were reported to no longer be dating earlier this month.)
