Amanda Bynes Reveals Striking Tattoo After 28-Pound Weight Loss Transformation
Amanda Bynes recently shared an exciting update with fans, revealing a striking tattoo following her significant weight loss transformation. The former Nickelodeon star showcased her new body art on Instagram, featuring the bold phrase “Trap Star” on her left hand.
Amanda’s Tattoo Journey
At 39 years old, Amanda unveiled this latest addition to her tattoo collection, which is inked at Atomic Tattoo & Body Piercing in Los Angeles. Her tattoo portfolio 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 hasn’t disclosed the meaning behind her new “Trap Star” tattoo, Amanda has shared the significance of previous tattoos. On TikTok, she noted that her Roman numeral tattoo commemorates her 10-year friendship with her best friend, Dylan.
Weight Loss Transformation
Amanda embarked on her weight loss journey in late 2024, shedding an impressive 28 pounds. In December 2025, she revealed on Instagram that her weight had dropped from 180 pounds to 152 pounds, attributing this change to the GLP-1 medication Ozempic.
She expressed a positive outlook on her journey, stating, “I know I still look big, but this photo is really inspiring to me!” Previously, she had experienced fluctuations in her weight, hitting a high of 180 pounds before her recent transformation.
Health and Wellness
Amanda explained that her shift to using GLP-1 medications, which help suppress appetite, has led to better outcomes. She previously mentioned that she weighed 163 pounds before losing the additional weight.
These medications, commonly prescribed for diabetes, have gained popularity among various celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey and Amy Schumer.
From Stardom to Personal Growth
Once a beloved child star in Hollywood, Amanda’s career began with Nickelodeon, leading to roles in films such as *Hairspray* and *Easy A*. She retired from acting in 2010 and faced numerous personal challenges, including mental health issues and addiction.
In 2013, her parents placed her under a conservatorship, giving them control over her personal and financial matters. However, in March 2022, Amanda successfully filed to end the conservatorship, which her parents supported.
Post-conservatorship, Amanda focused on self-improvement, stating, “In the last several years, I have been working hard to improve my health so that I can live and work independently.” Since then, she has explored various ventures, including a brief podcast and fashion collaborations.
As Amanda continues her transformation, fans eagerly await her upcoming projects, including new music expected to release in December 2025.
