Gone are the days of her squeaky clean image — Chloë Grace Moretz is starting to let the Hollywood bug take a bite out of her.

From being the cute little girl who always showed up on the red carpet in floral dresses, bringing her older brother, Trevor, along with as her adorable hand-holding date, the 18-year-old is now coming into her own as she recently stepped out in New York with a pierced septum.

Yes, you read that right. Not only that, a popular tattoo artist revealed on Instagram that Chloe had tattooed the initials of her family on her upper thigh.

The young star has been known for being vocal about how close-knit her family is and how she was brought up with the idea that blood is thicker than water, so we’re not exactly surprised. We still find it adorable, though.

Chloe reverted back to her good girl look at the Coach Summer Party, however, covering her tattoo with a leather skirt and sans her nose piercing (which we now think may not be real at all since it would probably hurt to take it out so soon).

The Dark Places star showed up at the event in a gray top and a leather skirt, carrying a sling bag by Coach and capping off the look with the ever-popular “Nudist” sandals by Stuart Weitzman. Welcome to the Nudist club, Chloe!

Inked by acclaimed Los Angeles tattoo artist Dr. Woo, she got a tattoo on her right upper thigh of the letters “TBTKCE” which are the initials of everyone in her family, including siblings Brandon, Trevor, Colin, and Ethan, and her mom Teri Duke, a nurse practitioner.

K refers to her sister, Kathleen Janette Moretz, who died as a baby just one day after birth on February 2, 1988. Chloe’s dad, plastic surgeon McCoy Lee Moretz, for some reason didn’t make the cut.

In a 2011 interview with Interview Magazine, she explained why she wanted to get a tattoo dedicated to her family. “I used to have a sister, but I never got to meet her, because she died after two days, I think. So if I got a tattoo, it would probably be something to do with my sister.”

Actually, this isn’t Chloe’s first time with the Nudist (you can read that any way you want to); she was previously photographed in a red pair with a Valentino outfit. If you love her black textured pair, you can head on over to Nordstrom or Zappos to grab one.
