Victoria Justice started off the week in a daring way.

While attending the CURATEUR Retreat (hosted by Rachel Zoe and Chriselle Lim) Monday night, the actress decided to get her first-ever tattoo.

A couple of Instagram Stories shared by the tattoo studio show the Victorious alum putting on a brave face while getting tattooed, as well as her flexing her muscles to show off the end result.

Justice also donned a sexy sleeveless black dress with a middle cutout to the event, which turned out to be the perfect piece that let her arm art shine.

The 30-year-old actress has come far since her Nickelodeon days.

Justice wrapped up work on her new mystery film The Tutor, which also stars Noah Schnapp and Garrett Hedlund.

She also just announced the release of her new song, "Last Man Standing," in celebration of her milestone birthday. "What better way to celebrate my birthday than with a new song?!" she wrote on Instagram when revealing the single, which she noted was her "favorite yet."

However, she hasn't forgotten her television roots. On Monday, she paid tribute to the teen comedy sitcom series (in which she played Tori Vega for the show's four-season run) on its 13th anniversary. "Happy 13th b day to the show that will always have a special place in my heart. 🥹🫶🏼🎈 #Victorious," she wrote.
