Dainty tattoos are back big time, and Sarah Michelle Gellar just reminded us why they’ll never go out of style. Whether it’s a sentimental symbol, a delicate script, or just something cute you saw on a flash sheet (no judgment, we’ve all been there), micro tattoos are the ultimate way to make a statement—without, you know, actually making a huge statement.
And guess who just hopped on the trend again? The one and only Sarah Michelle Gellar, who blessed us with not one but two new tiny tattoos—and honestly, they’re so Pinterest-coded, we can practically hear the sound of a thousand inspo boards being updated.
The Workout That Turned Into a Tattoo Session
Gellar, who’s rumored to be circling a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot (we’re listening, Hollywood 👀), casually revealed her fresh ink via Instagram Stories. She was attending an event for Alo Yoga—a brand that apparently understands our deepest desires, because not only was there a workout involved (fine, we’ll exercise), but also a pop-up tattoo station.
Yes, you read that right. A workout/tattoo hybrid event. How do we sign up for this magic in our city?!
“What, get a new tattoo… ok?!?” Gellar captioned the pic, tagging tattoo artist Amanda Merkatz. And before you could say slayer, she was under the needle.
A Tiny Constellation and the Sweetest ‘XO’
Apparently, SMG couldn’t decide on just one design, because she ended up with two new additions to her collection. The first? A fine-line constellation inked between her thumb and pointer finger—though good luck figuring out which star system it is because we’re definitely not certified astrologers.
And on her other hand? A delicate little “xo” on the side of her pointer finger, written in elegant script. Because nothing says effortless cool like a tattoo that looks like a casual love note.
“Maybe two,” she wrote in the caption—uh, girl, it’s ink. It’s definitely two.
SMG’s Love for Tiny Tattoos Runs Deep
This isn’t Sarah Michelle Gellar’s first time dabbling in the fine-line tattoo world. She already has several small tattoos, all proving one thing: Size? Totally overrated. Tiny ink packs a punch, especially when it’s done right.
So if you’ve been on the fence about getting that just-for-fun micro tattoo, let this be your sign! If Buffy can do it, so can you.
Oh, and before y’all start sharpening your pitchforks—let’s give a huge shoutout to Marci Robin over at Allure, who first spilled the tattoo tea! She did the heavy lifting, and I just came in to add a little extra seasoning (think of me as the gossip chef sprinkling some SEO magic). Marci, you’re the real MVP—if we ever start a workout/tattoo event, you’re getting VIP access!
