Amanda Bynes shows off new face tattoo weeks after leaving sober living facility
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Amanda Bynes posted a new selfie on social media and showed off a new tattoo on her face.
The actress, 33, returned to Instagram on Monday night with a photo showing a heart-shaped tattoo on her cheek and only an alien emoji as a caption.
It's unclear if the new ink is permanent or temporary. She is also wearing a septum piercing as she sits on a couch with a few other women in the background.

It's the first photo Bynes has posted since news broke earlier this month that she left a sober living facility. She was reportedly in treatment for mental health and was also undergoing routine drug testing at the facility.
