Tattoo: Lana’s body is covered in a variety of interesting tattoo patterns. Let’s have a look at them and see what they signify.
Tattoo of a ‘Bird’: On the back of her neck, she has a bird tattoo. The bird is surrounded by a star, lines, and circles, as well as mathematical motifs. Lana gave the tattoo the name Thunderbird in the Stars. The thunderbird tattooed in the stars symbolises power, protection, and strength.

However, these are just speculations with no basis in fact, and the actress has yet to respond to the allegations.
