Ariana Grande gets inked with Mac Miller

Ariana Grande enjoyed a date in a tattoo parlour on Thursday (25Aug16) as she decided to get inked with her new boyfriend Mac Miller.

The pair's budding romance recently hit headlines after the pop star was spotted kissing rapper Miller in public during a sushi stop in California, and this week, the new couple chose a very different kind of outing as Ariana and Mac headed to the famed Shamrock Social Club on West Hollywood's Sunset Strip.

The stars each shared photos of themselves inside the tattoo shop on Instagram, but did not acknowledge the other's presence as they have yet to comment on their new relationship.

Ariana had two tiny pieces inked onto her hands - the letter 'A' and the Venus symbol, and the Bang Bang hitmaker shared a shot of a cheeky Polaroid snap in which she is featured holding up her middle finger and kissing it, as she attempted to show off the new ink.

She captioned the image, "a couple new finger tats (sic) today. so fine & perfectly petite, they won't even show up in this Polaroid. love & thanks. @_dr_woo_".

In a second picture of the 23-year-old being tattooed by celebrity artist Dr. Woo, she commented, "I think this is my 13th".

Meanwhile, Mac chose the back of his left hand for the latest addition to his body of skin art, an image of the sun setting on the horizon.

The two musicians were first linked in 2013 after working together on Ariana's hit The Way, for which they shared a kiss in the song's accompanying video. Mac played down rumours of a romance at the time, simply referring to Ariana as his "homey", but romance speculation heated up last weekend (20-21Aug16) when the rapper joined the pretty star on stage during her headlining set at the 2016 Billboard Hot 100 Festival in New York.

Photos of the couple's cosy sushi date, during which the pair locked lips, then surfaced online two days later.

Ariana has enjoyed plenty of high profile romances, and counts former The Wanted singer Nathan Sykes, hip-hop star Big Sean, and dancer Ricky Alvarez among her exes.
