The Stars of the Perfectionists Spill the Tea on Their Hidden Tattoos
It may be that The Perfectionists — you know, the new Pretty Little Liars spinoff hitting Freeform on March 20 — is already shrouded in mystery (of the murder variety, because naturally), but it seems as though some of the stars behind the show have a few secrets of their own: hidden tattoos.
Perhaps this is to make for easier cover-up while filming, or maybe the cast just likes the enigma that comes with tiny ink. Either way, and because even the most eagle-eyed fans might be surprised to learn about the peek-a-boo designs tattooed on the likes of Sasha Pieterse, Janel Parrish, and Sydney Park, we decided to ask them during our POPSUGAR photo shoot to spill the tea — which floweth over ahead.

Sasha Pieterse's Tattoos
The Pretty Little Liars alum is no stranger to tattoos, and her lineup of ink is only going to get longer: "Right now, I have five tattoos total," said Pieterse. "I'm sure that will change — my poor mom. I have a cross on my left ankle, my wedding bouquet on my left arm, a quote on my right arm, and two hidden finger tats. One of them is an 'A' — for Alison, of course."

Sydney Park's Tattoos
Park has also dabbled with a handful of ink. "Some [of my tattoos] are more subtle, and some are hidden," she said. "I have five tattoos total: wildflowers inside my right inner arm, words going vertically down my left hip, a tiny Scorpio zodiac behind my neck, words on my left forearm, and a magic number three on my right wrist."

Sydney Park's Forearm Tattoo
Park's tiny inner-arm tattoo reads "per aspera ad astra," the popular Latin phrase that translates to "through hardships to the stars."

Janel Parrish's Tattoos
While Parrish stayed mum on her exact number — "I have a whole bunch of tattoos; some visible, some not," she said — we've counted a handful over the years: musical notes, the lotus flower, and a heart on her knuckle, plus a flock of birds on her right arm and a butterfly on her left wrist (both shown here).

Janel Parrish's Ankle Tattoo
The only thing cuter than Parrish's nude pumps: that anchor ankle tattoo.

Eli Brown
The one Perfectionists cast member who won't be getting a tattoo any time soon? Eli Brown. "I do not have any," he said. "Would you put a bumper sticker on a Honda Civic?"
Good question . . .
