The It Ends with Us star shared a photo of herself getting her back painted with flowers by Sage Vaughn.
“A @sagevaughnstudio painting is the first piece of art I ever purchased. I was 17. I couldn’t afford it… Sage made sure I was able to buy it, for next to nothing. He saw a kid interested in art, and made sure to nurture that,” she wrote over the photo.
Blake Lively further gushed over the surreal experience of having him hand-paint tattoos on her.
“What a surreal experience to quite literally be the canvas of one of my favorite artists,” she added.
