The "Yellowjackets" star showed a split image of her 5-year-old's drawing, and a recreation of it that's tattooed on Lynskey.
"I'm so happy to be bringing this adorable tattoo into 2024 with me," she captioned the image. She also thanked the artist: Graeme Allen, from the New Zealand-based shop Sacred Tattoo.
