- Emilia Clarke plays the heroine Daenerys Targaryen on the hit TV show "Game of Thrones."
- She has now joined the list of celebrities who have tattoos to remember their movie and TV roles.
- The actress revealed on "Live With Kelly and Ryan" in May that she was getting a small dragon tattoo to remember her character on the show.
- An Instagram post on Thursday showed that she was telling the truth — and it shows off her new dragon tattoo.
- The eighth and final season of "Game of Thrones" will premiere in the "first half" of 2019.
"Game of Thrones" actress Emilia Clarke got a tattoo of three dragons on her left wrist as a tribute to her role as the Mother of Dragons — and her Instagram post on Thursday shows the finished product.
In May, Clarke — who plays Daenerys Targaryen on HBO's "Game of Thrones" – confessed during an appearance on "Live With Kelly and Ryan" that she was going to get a dragon tattoo, INSIDER reported.
She was as good as her word, and showed off her new ink on Instagram on Thursday:
In the caption, she said the celebrity tattoo artist responsible, Doctor Woo, "made sure this mamma ain’t NEVER forgetting her babies," referring to three dragons she tames on the show.
"Live with Kelly and Ryan" host Ryan Seacrest blew up Clarke's tattoo secret when he interviewed her back in May.
He said: "I was in a tattoo parlor the other day...trying to make an appointment...and they said they were full because you're coming in to get a tattoo of a dragon."
After conceding that Seacrest was right, Clarke said: "I'm going to get a dragon right here, sort of flying away," as she pointed to the inside of her left wrist.
"I sort of think that's cool...a little kind of peace out."
Shes not the only "Game of Thrones" star to get commemorative ink: Clarke's co-stars, Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner, who play Sansa and Arya Stark on the show, have matching tattoos to remember the day they were cast on the HBO series.
