Hilary Duff has a new mysterious tattoo. The tattoo is under her right arm, right at the line where a bikini strap should cover it up. Should, but Hilary forgot she wears string bikinis! So what does Hilary’s tattoo say?

More pictures of Hilary after the skip…

Hilary’s new ink says, “ma petite amie.” Huh? Need a translation? From Just Jared:

The 21-year-old singer/actress showed off a new tattoo on the right side of her rib cage that read “ma petite amie.”

The Duffster’s new tattoo likely refers to a close female friend, meaning either “my little friend” (literally) or “my girlfriend” (proper meaning). The tattoo probably is not referring to boyfriend Mike Comrie, so who could Hilary be referring to?

Aha! Hilary must have a secret girlfriend on the sly! Oh wait, she has that hunky NHL player, who needs a girl! Hilary, explain to us what it means?? What or who – do you think Hilary’s tattoo is in reference to?
