Zac Efron gets another tattoo

CEBU, Philippines - He used to have a clean cut image as one of the stars of Disney hit High School Musical.

But it seems like Zac Efron wants to be a bad boy instead, after getting a third tattoo in the space of a year in Studio City, Los Angeles earlier this month.

He was getting some fresh ink on the inside of his right bicep, close to the double feather image he had etched last year. He was also shown wearing a pair of Ellen DeGeneres underwear with its band peeking out above his jeans.

Zac, 24, tried to put on a brave face, giving a cool surfers salute to the camera as he had his picture taken. It is unclear exactly what he was having inscribed, though many will be wondering whether it is a tribute to his latest squeeze Lily Collins.

He was spotted getting all lovey-dovey with Phil Collins daughter at the exclusive Soho Club in West Hollywood as they enjoyed a romantic Valentine's Day together.

And he just happened to visit the parlor just days before their romantic rendezvous.

It brings his tattoo count to three, as he also had the word YoLo put on his hand, which is believed to be an acronym for ‘You Only Live Once.'

As well as getting his tattoo, he also revealed at the premiere to his animated movie The Lorax that he had been taught to play guitar by his co-star Taylor Swift. He said: 'She’s a great teacher. In the past, everyone who’s tried to teach me guitar starts with music theory and stuff like that. I tend to just doze off after a little while. She went straight into songs. She taught me, like, four chords, and I’m already playing all the good campfire songs.'

Unfortunately he did not reveal whether he had learned Phil Collins classics In The Air Tonight or A Groovy Kind of Love to impress Lily. (FREEMAN)
