'Starry Eyed' songstress Ellie Goulding has taken to her official Instagram account to show off a pretty new tattoo that she got in Hollywood, California. 

She posted a photograph of the new ink, which is a stunning lotus flower design, and accompanied the image with the caption: "Say not "I have found the truth" but rather "I have found a truth"."

The tattoo was done by artist Dr. Woo at Mark Mahoney's Shamrock Social Club and he also shared a snapshot of the design, adding: "Lotus craze on the homegirl @elliegoulding thanks for the laughs."

One Direction's Zayn Malik also got tattooed at the same venue back in 2013, but he opted for a gun design on his hip and it was done by Louis F Perez III. 

Earlier this month, Goulding confessed that she has been struggling with feelings of homesickness latelyand hopes to return to her old stomping ground soon to recharge: "I need to sort my life out. And if I don't do it soon, I may as well just be forever on the road, because that's what it feels like. As much as I love what I do, and music is obviously everything to me, I'm being pulled home, and I've got to do that soon, I think."
