Chrissy Teigen has revealed the deep meaning behind her latest tattoo of an elephant on her wrist.
The cookbook author and former model showed fans her latest ink job, which was done by celebrity tattoo artist Winterstone.
Teigen, 36, shared a photo of her newest ink on Instagram this week, where she gave fans a glimpse at her delicate tattoo. The black-and-white photo reveals the tiny animal, which is placed on the inside of Teigen's wrist, standing with its trunk raised.
Take a look at Chrissy Teigen's meaningful new tattoo:
The model captioned her post in Thai. The text translates in English to; "In my past life I was an elephant," according to Entertainment Tonight.
Teigen also tagged her tattoo artist, Winterstone, in the photo, who replied in the comments section, "Lucky boy!!!"
Teigen is the latest star to get inked by Winterstone - real name Daniel Winter. Winter has also tattooed other celebrities such as Emma Roberts, Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato, Sophie Turner, and Joe Jonas, to name a few.
Winter told The Hollywood Reporter he specializes in "fine lines" and "very sharp images," and said his clients come to him for "really meaningful, powerful pieces."
Winter's latest work on Teigen comes after he tattooed her with art by her daughter, Luna, this summer. Tiegen — who shares Luna, 5, and son Miles, 3, with husband John Legend — received a butterfly tattoo from Winter in June last year.
Teigen shared the story behind the ink on Instagram, telling her followers: "Luna drew this butterfly on me today and it seemed fitting to make permanent."
She added: "I wanted @winterstone to move and center it, due to issues I also discuss in therapy, but in the end we decided to leave it right where she belonged. A little imperfect, a little messy, but hell she's here to stay. Lol."
Legend sports a similar tattoo from Winter, which was also originally drawn by Luna. In December, Legend shared a video of himself being inked with a drawing of flowers "based on a sketch" by Luna.
Legend got his tattoo after Teigen called him out for bailing on their tattoo pact during an appearance on The Ellen Show.
"Luna was drawing on us one night, and she was like, 'I love this. This is the best butterfly I've ever drawn,' and I was like, 'I agree,'"Teigen said.
"And then she drew a beautiful floral bouquet on John's arm, and he was like, 'I'll tattoo mine, if you tattoo yours,' and I was like, 'Well, I don't wanna say it, but yours looks a lot better than mine.' But we support the arts in our household."
She said Legend promised her: 'I'll take a picture of it and then I'll go get it done," but he had never followed through. Still, she insisted she loved her butterfly art "so much."
