Milly Alcock has a lot more tattoos than fans may realize.
The 26-year-old actress, who stars as Kara Zor-El in the upcoming Supergirl movie, opened up about her ink during a recent appearance on Mythical Kitchen’s Last Meals, revealing she currently has 20 tattoos.
When host Josh Scherer noted that she has “a fair amount of tattoos,” Milly casually answered, “20,” with a shrug and a smile.
Milly says she sees them as something deeply personal, especially given the nature of Hollywood.
“Being an actor, my body is my tool,” she explained. “But also my body’s in service of other people and a character and whoever I need to be.”
She said her tattoos give her a sense of ownership over herself.
“There’s something very grounding about at the end of the day, taking it all off, and it’s my skin, you know?” she said. “It’s personalized to me.”
She explained that her tattoos connect her to her identity as she travels and lives away from Australia.
“I think that living in a different country and traveling so much, you become this collage of everywhere that you’re from and who you are in the center of that. So I think we’re always in flux,” the House of the Dragon star shared.
She also joked that tattoos are “just really addictive” and she plans to get more.
During her Supergirl promo tour, Milly climbed a fake train in London for a photo opp!
