Cara Delevingne and Ashley Benson — are they taking their relationship into a much deeper level by having each other’s initials permanently tattooed in the same spot of their bodies?

Delevingne and Benson had been reportedly dating for over a year and the recent revelation found in the social media account of the 29-year-old American actress led to various speculations that their relationship, as a couple, was becoming more serious.

Benson, former lead star of the television series “Pretty Little Liars,” uploaded a snap on her Instagram account to launch her new Prive Revaux Eye Wear Collection but the attention of her followers was caught when they saw the initials “CD” peeking from under the actress’ left armpit, MTV News reported.

Fans were positive that the inked letters in Benson’s body were the initials of her girlfriend, although there wasn’t any official statement about this just yet. Shortly after, there were reports of fans pointing out that Delevingne had the letter A tattooed under her — yes— left armpit.

People saw Delevingne’s ink while she was wearing a white, see-through dress when she attended TrevoLIVE New York 2019 gala back in June. The same was peeking from a colorful, see-through dress that she wore during the Met Gala in May, Harper’s Bazaar reported.

Posts on social media suggest that it is an act of expressing one’s commitment and one example is Victoria and David Beckham. Mrs. Beckham got the initials “DB” tattooed on her left wrist, while her husband had her name inked on his right hand symbolizing their commitment to each other and their relationship, Conversation reported.

This demonstration of commitment dated back many years ago. In fact, there were write-ups indicating that during the golden age for tattooing in Japan, a female courtesan may have her male lover’s name tattooed on her upper arm to show her commitment.

The couple is currently busy with their respective careers amidst the speculations of their tattoos' meaning. Benson is doing pictorial for her collaboration with Prive, while Delevingne is focused on “Carnival Row,” her upcoming web television series with Orlando Bloom.

"Carnival Row" is an Amazon Original series depicting a Victorian fantasy world filled with mythological immigrant creatures. Men invaded their homelands and their growing population made it so hard for them to coexist with humans.

Many fans support the recent ink-act of Delevingne and Benson. Their supporters are actually hoping that the sweet couple’s relationship could endure the challenging world of Hollywood entertainment industry.
