Sarah Hyland Shows Off New Hummingbird Tattoo, Explains the Powerful Meaning Behind It

Sarah Hyland is embracing her independence!

After splitting from longtime boyfriend Matthew Prokop, whom she later obtained a restraining order against, the actress just got herself a very meaningful new tattoo.

"The hummingbird, though it be but little, can travel great distances. It is a carrier of joy and lightness of being Independent and resilient; the hummingbird lifts negative energy from your life and shows you the perfect combination of playfulness and endurance," she explained in the photo caption. "Thank you @dr_woo_ssc for giving me this little guy to always remind me that (and whisper sweet nothings in to my ear)."

The tattoo artist did a similar tattoo for Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda, who got the hummingbird on her hand as a tribute to her late father.

For poppo. Thank you to the incomparable @dr_woo_ssc for so beautifully bringing my reminders to life. I'll always put my hand out to shake with a smile. As for this Instagram, I don't know in what capacity I'll continue using it in the future, but I'm leaving it up regardless so that fake accounts hoping to use my name or misuse my family's photos will get no traction. To be clear, this is MY ONLY account. Publicly, I have Twitter, and this. If other people post quotes and photos claiming to be me or my family, please, do not send them personal information or click links, even for charity. They could be utilizing sympathy to scam you. For the record, no one has ever or will ever speak for me but me. Thank you.

We love the simplistic elegance of their ink and the reasons they got them are even more beautiful than the tattoos themselves.

What do you guys think of Sarah's new ink?
