Amanda Bynes’ Tattoo Showcase
The former Nickelodeon star, now 39, opted for the tattoo at Atomic Tattoo & Body Piercing in Los Angeles. This new ink adds to her existing collection, which includes:
- Roman numerals for 10 on her finger
- A snake on her upper thigh
- A rose on her forearm
- A heart on her cheek
While she has not disclosed the meaning of the “Trap Star” tattoo, Amanda has shared insights about her other tattoos. The Roman numeral tattoo commemorates her decade-long friendship with her best friend, Dylan.
Weight Loss Journey and Health Improvements
Amanda’s physical transformation has been noteworthy. She disclosed that she embarked on her weight loss journey in late 2024. Her progress includes a remarkable 28-pound weight loss:
- Original weight: 180 lbs
- Current weight: 152 lbs
In her December Instagram post, she expressed her feelings about her transformation, stating that despite still feeling large, she found the progress inspiring.
She previously attributed changes in her weight to GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, which suppress appetite. Amanda noted her weight fluctuated slightly but ultimately resulted in a net loss of twenty pounds. This class of medications has been popular among public figures, including Oprah Winfrey and Serena Williams.
Amanda’s Career and Personal Growth
Once a prominent child star, Amanda began her career on Nickelodeon and later starred in hit films like “Hairspray” and “Easy A.” In 2010, she retired from acting, facing personal challenges that included mental health and addiction struggles. Her parents were granted conservatorship over her financial and legal matters in 2013.
After filing to end her conservatorship in 2022, Amanda shared her determination to lead an independent life. Her parents fully supported this decision, confirming their pride in her progress.
Since regaining her independence, Amanda has been proactive in improving her well-being. She has explored various creative avenues, including a podcast, fashion collaborations, and teased new music expected to debut in December 2025.
