Here's a side of Ashley Tisdale the world has never seen.
While her former costar Vanessa Hudgens is still talking down her infamous naked photos, the Tiz is just getting started with hers.
Why? Because Ashley's gotta shed her teen queen status and prove she's adult lady now...
"I'm 25, almost 26, but people think of me as much younger because I look young," the Wildcats star said in Allure magazine's annual Nudes issue, in which the in-the-buff star sits on a bed, revealing a tattoo on her back, among other things, as she looks over her shoulder.
"Being in this shoot was me saying, 'I'm not just the young girl everybody thinks I am. I'm actually a woman,' " she explained.
Even though Ashley's trying to prove she's all grown up now, she brought her mom to the photo shoot. "I've always wanted to be sure my parents approve of what I do," she said. "Even with my tattoos, my mom went with me. The ‘believe' tattoo is because my mom always told me to believe."
