Emma Watson Sports Lower Back Tattoo, Skimpy Outfit On 'Bling Ring' Set (PHOTOS)

Hey, when did Emma Watson pick up that salacious ink?

The actress, 21, was spotted on Thursday with a sprawling red and black lower back tattoo, which, uh, is commonly referred to as a "tramp stamp."

But relax: Emma was on the set of her new movie, Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring," in Venice, Calif. Her outfit of a white bra and denim short shorts, which she covered with a black parka, wasn't exactly Emma's usual glam style. So, the ink? Fake. (We're pretty sure Emma has no actual tattoos IRL.)

"Bling Ring" is based on the real story of teens who burglarized the homes of celebs like Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge; one of the perpetrators, Nick Prugo, recently pleaded no contest in court. Watson plays Nicki, a character who has an ex-Playboy model mother.

The painted-on tattoo isn't the only style switch Emma has taken on for the movie -- she also added those long brunette hair extensions.

Check out Emma's ink below! Do you think she should get a tattoo for real?

I was very glad to read that it was a fake.
She is a very talented actress and seems to carry herself with a little dignity.
Best response to the question of why no tattoos

Personally, I think she needs to pull up her shorts, and it has nothing to do with tattoos, real or fake.

Hey Media, what's going on with the other Harry Potter actresses? How's Bonnie Wright been? What's that doll Evanna Lynch been up to? Is Katie Leung well? And what is beautiful Tiana Benjamin doing nowadays? You know I bet she'd be a shoe-in as a live-action Princess Tiana of Disney's Princess and the Frog. I could totally see her playing the part in Disneyworld/Disneyland... =D

Whew, I'm glad she doesn't have a real one. I still have respect for Emma. Tattoos are SUCH a total turn off! Trash stamps, YES!

For new readers jumping from headline to comments without reading story...
It's fake, just make up for a movie.

It looks really good. To bad it's fake. I do not think she would get a real one. Personally I would never get one. I am sooooo scared of needles. Even when I get blood tests I have to look away and think of something else. Guess I'm a wuss when it comes to ANY kind of needle. LOL I've seen some tatoos and they look really good. Each to their own.

For all you wusses out there ~~ don't knock it until you've tried it. I have tattoo's, and yes I have been referred to as a lady ~~ and NO I am definitely not a stamp tramp. Tastefully done and placed. tattoo's are a work of art. Personally I find guys with tattooed arms, etc. a turn on ~~ but again that's my own personal taste and opinion. You don't have to agree with me ~ case closed!
