Amanda Bynes took to Instagram just before 2020 after nearly two years off of social media, and fans immediately noticed a heart tattoo on her face just below her left eye(via 22 Words). While she didn't reveal the personal meaning behind the new ink, many tattoo websites write that black hearts often symbolize a loss. Tattoo for a Week notes that black heart tattoos are often done to memorialize a passing or as a way to mark the end of a major life event like the end of a relationship. How it pertains to Bynes is unclear, but considering her past struggles, and rumors of a break up, it could be a sobering reminder of all she's been through, as well as hope for the future.
Despite the surprising new look, Bynes revealed to fans that she's been working on herself. In an Instagram post from just a few months ago she wrote to followers, "My dearest fans, thank you for all the support throughout the year and every year..I know I've been so quiet lately, i just felt that i needed my personal space and that it'd be better for me but it never was..just know that you're my happiness!"
