Nice ink Vaness!

Ms. Hudgens took a break from her busy NYC fashion week schedule to pick up a more permanent accessory ... a large butterfly tattoo.

The Beastly star stopped by New York tattoo shop Bang Bang Tattoos, a celebrity-fave, to get inked on the back of her neck. And while it looks like it was pretty painful, it's definitely a thing of beauty.

We can't help but wonder if Vanessa got the new ink because her five year-relationship with Zac just ended? People often get tattoos to mark an important turning point in their lives, and we're betting this butterfly means something special to the starlet.
