Fans quickly connected the new tattoo to her relationship with comedian and collaborator Bo Burnham. The move ties her public romance to the songs on her latest album and to new designs honoring her past.
Collarbone tattoo honors Bo Burnham and ties to Lost Weekend
Tattoo artist Matt Vazquez shared images showing the name “Bobby” tattooed in a flowing script under Bridgers’ collarbone. The word matches the title of a song on her new album, Lost Weekend, which arrived Aug. 14.

On that track, Bridgers explores intimate details of her relationship. Burnham also appears on the record. Fans saw the ink as a personal nod to their bond.
Recent additions: spiderweb and a heart for her late dog
Vazquez also inked a spiderweb on Bridgers’ left elbow. The web sits just beside a heart that bears the name of her late dog, Max.
- Spiderweb: left elbow, new work by Matt Vazquez.
- Heart for Max: a memorial to her late dog, placed near the elbow.
- “Bobby” script: under the collarbone, a tribute tied to her partner and the album.
Her tattoo history: a patchwork of symbols and band bonds
Bridgers’ body already features a distinctive mix of imagery. Her arms and wrists tell a story of friendships, routines and small jokes.
- Barbed wire wrapped around a bicep.
- A lit match on her forearm.
- The phrase drink water on her left wrist.
- A tooth tattoo on her wrist that matches ink shared with Boygenius bandmates Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker.
- Three of Cups tarot card tattoos, a symbol the trio uses to celebrate friendship.
What the shared tattoos mean
The matching symbols with Boygenius reflect the trio’s close bond. Bridgers and her bandmates used the tattoos as a lasting sign of friendship and collaboration.
Bo Burnham’s creative role on Lost Weekend
Burnham co-wrote several tracks on Lost Weekend. He contributes vocals on the title track “Bobby” and is credited on multiple songs.
The couple were first linked publicly in late 2022. Their relationship gained broader attention after a high-profile concert video inadvertently showcased them together in mid-2023.
Her attitude toward tattoos: imperfect and personal
Bridgers has often spoken about tattoos with humor. In a past conversation with Kesha, she said she accepts bad tattoos as part of life. Kesha answered with an over-the-top retort for laughs.
Bridgers has also said she’s always looking for the next piece of ink. She once joked about planning more spontaneous or “toxic” tattoo choices in the months ahead.
Upcoming schedule: The Lost Tour and a film debut
Bridgers is set to launch The Lost Tour this week at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. The live dates support her new album and feature material from the record.
Shortly after her tour kickoff, Bridgers will see her first feature film arrive in theaters. The A24 title Primetime, in which she co-stars with Robert Pattinson, is due to open the following day.
