In the words of Madonna, Hilary Duff is quite the “RebelHeart.” On Monday’s Ellen DeGeneres, the Younger star shares that she hasseveral tattoos — 12 to be exact! Ellen was intrigued by the ink and asked the27-year-old to explain her choices.

“I have a bunch of little guys inside my arms,” Hilary, whorecently filmed the upcoming TV Land show in Brooklyn, says. “I have 12. Thisis my little Brooklyn. Little BK tattoo. But um, I recently got a new one.”

A fascinated Ellen asked Hilary how she decides where toplace the permanent additions. “I think that part of me loves tattoos and partof me doesn’t want the full commitment of getting to see them all the time,”she explains. “So when my arms are down, I look just like a normie and when myarms are out, I look super hardcore like a gangster.”

Hilary’s other tattoos consist of: a little bird (herfavorite), one that reads "Stand by Me," one for her 3-year-old son Luca, awishbone, a heart, one that says "Thick as Thieves" that her sister Haylie alsohas, and 2 cents written in a circle. While the songstress mentions that she could keepgoing, she stops to share her most recent tattoo for Ellen.

Before flashing a lovely pic of Ellen’sface on her thigh, Hilary jokes: “It’s my biggest one. It’s a big commitment.Prime real estate. I just realized before I came that I’ve been on your show 12times now. This is my 12th time on your show. So I decided to show you a littlelove!”

The "Sparks" singer is also having some funexperimenting with her hair. Showing off her new greenish blue color, she tellsEllen, “I’ve never done anything like this, and I was just inCabo with my son, and I was staring at the ocean, and I waslike I want that on my head. So this happened.”

As far as her son Luca with ex-Mike Comrie, he is very particular when it comes to how his momstyles her hair. “There’s absolutely no buns on my head, no ponytails,” shementions. “I’ll have a ponytail and he’s like um, hair down mom. Hairdown please. I’m like.. At least he knows what he likes.”

And the actress is also not afraid to sharewhat she likes too and in this moment, it’s her hot bikini bod. “I’ve never doneanything like that before, my Instagram page is pretty tame. And I had spent all weekend in a bikini and I wasfeeling pretty good,” Hilary says about her showing off her toned physiquerecently. “I’m just like everyone else. Usually I’m not feeling sogood. I [have a] love-hate relationship with my body, and I don’t know I was on atrip with my son and it’s been 3 years since I had him. I'm justso proud of my body and what it’s done for me. It gave me the most beautifullittle boy and I feel strong and powerful and I wanted to inspire other women.”
