The secret's out: The Pretty Little Liars cast got matching tattoos!

Lucy Hale Instagrammed a photo with Ashley Benson, Troian Bellisario, Shay Mitchell, Sasha Pieterse and Janel Parrish and their matching index finger tattoos.

"This happened," she wrote. "Thank you @shamrocksocialclub for taking care of us. We couldn't not get tattoos to commemorate the show! And obviously on our 'shh' finger."

This sentimental ink, while special, isn't exactly unique. Just a few weeks ago, actually, Orlando Bloom shared a #TBT from 2001 when he and the rest of the Lord of the Rings cast got matching tattoos ("Nine" in elvish) to commemorate their experience filming.

Art inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien has already proven it stands the test of time; the same can't necessarily be said for late '90s boy bands. 98 Degrees members Jeff Timmons and Nick Lachey both inked their band name on their biceps at the height of their fame. Jeff still has his 98 Degrees ink, but Nick filled his in.

There was even a time, way back in 2012, that One Direction was still a fivesome and Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and yes, Zayn Malik each got matching tattoos.

And then there are the Olympians who, understandably, want a permanent reminder of their athletic glory.

Swimmer Missy Franklin got the Olympic rings inked back in 2012. "Can't believe it!" she tweeted at the time. "My one and only!"
