Katie Maloney’s latest tattoo is out of this world.
The Vanderpump Rules cast member unveiled the fresh piece via Instagram on Thursday (October 26) while celebrating the launch of her press-on nails collaboration. The event occurred at Studio Sashiko, a Los Angeles tattoo and piercing salon co-owned by artist Shaughnessy Keely Otsuji.
During the party, Katie reshared a video of her sitting over a tattoo bed while Shaughnessy worked on her forearm. The camera angle made it difficult to see the work in progress; however, Katie returned to the Gram several minutes later to reveal the final product.
It’s important to note that the Utah native didn’t provide any information about the fine-line piece, but it appeared to be a tiny planet with a ring system. As seen in Katie’s Instagram Story, the ink was placed near one of her older tattoos that read: “Love you to the moon.”
Katie Maloney’s Tattoo Collection
It’s no secret that Katie is a big fan of body art, as she’s amassed a solid collection over the years. She spoke about her tattoos in 2018 when she conducted an “Ask Me Anything” session with fans.
“I have 11 tattoos; most [are] on my right arm; that’s where everything is,” she said. “I have 12! I forgot one! My first one.”

Katie’s tattoos include a small peace sign and a leopard, a pattern on her arm, and designs on her fingers. One of her most-talked-about pieces, however, is the one that reads “11-09-09,” a date that changed Katie’s life forever. The former SURver opened up about the tattoo in an Instagram post shared in February 2014, nearly five years after she experienced a near-fatal accident.
“Many of you have asked what the tattoo on my arm signifies,” she wrote. “It’s a date 11/09/09. I was in an accident on this day. I fell through a skylight, a total of 25 feet. I don’t remember falling, but I did suffer multiple injuries. I broke my jaw, lost some teeth, and broke my collarbone and several ribs. I also suffered a small brain injury. I’m fortunate and a different person today because of that day. I now call it my re-birthday. Don’t take anything for granted; life is special.”

In addition to the tattoo services, guests were treated to drinks, swag, and piercings by Studio Sashiko co-owner Kyle Otsuji. Attendees included Vanderpump Rules’ Scheana Shay and Lala Kent and their former castmate Dayna Kathan.
