Dua Lipajust added another tattoo to her collection — andSeth Meyersjoined her!

While sharing a few shots together in front of Meyers' studio audience, Lipa and Meyers agreed to get matching tattoos after they had originally planned to do it the last time Lipa was on the show. Meyers, who has never gotten a tattoo before, was thrown for a loop, though, when Lipa changed up the game.

The two set out to get matching dots, but Lipa said they should get stars instead. “Are you pulling a fast one on me?” Meyers jokingly asks before taking another shot.

Lipa sits down for Bang Bang first, telling Meyers, “We’re gonna be, like, bonded for life.” She gets her tattoo on her foot, before it becomes Meyers' turn. Bang Bang offers to let Lipa tattoo the host, but he’s not down for it (despite the audience’s cheers), and Meyers tells the artist he wants it on his leg — somewhere he’ll forget about.

Meyers makes it through the tattoo (not without yet another shot) and another joke to Bang Bang about the pain, but in the end, the two come out with their matching tats.

Lipa, 28, already has a small collection of tattoos on her body, including a palm tree on the back of her arm, the word “angel” on her shoulder and a “245” on her left arm to symbolize the number of shows on her 2018 tour.

Meyers, 50, on the other hand, has quite a bit less ink than the Grammy-winning artist. He did, however, find himself the proud owner of aface full of Sharpie tattoosin 2022, when he went day drinking withPost Malonefor a segment of his show.

After drinking far too many concoctions, the “Circles” singer took a marker to Meyers' face to draw several tattoos he’d requested, including the Pittsburgh Steelers logo, the Flash logo and his Italian Greyhound Frisbee.

Lipa and Meyers were in good hands with Bang Bang, who is one of the most well-known celebrity tattoo artists. He’s tattooed the likes ofMiley Cyrus,Rihanna,LeBron James,Cara Delevingne,Adeleand many more. The New York-based artist, who pioneered the revolutionaryrewritable Magic Ink(launching Jan. 17), is also responsible forSelena Gomez’sdripping rose on the back of her neckthat she got a few years ago.

“Watercolor on @selenagomez,” he captioned the photo onInstagramin December 2021. “Thank you for always being wonderful🖤.” He shared afar-away lookat the star’s new ink days prior that sent fans into a tizzy before giving them the closeup they all wanted. His work was a beautiful pink flower with black ink cascading from the bottom.
