Zoë Kravitz and Harry Styles have not publicly explained their reported engagement, but fans are now focused on a smaller shared detail: matching tattoos.
The actress and singer appear to have the phrase “Let it rip” tattooed in different places. People reported that the phrase was spotted on Kravitz’s back in a British Vogue teaser and had previously been seen on Styles’ arm during his European tour.
The tattoo attention comes after People reported in April that Kravitz and Styles were engaged after about eight months of dating. The two have kept the relationship relatively quiet, which has made small public details, including jewelry, tour appearances, and now tattoos, draw more attention from fans.
Neither Kravitz nor Styles has publicly confirmed the meaning of the phrase. The visible connection is the matching text, not an explanation from either star.

The latest round of speculation began when British Vogue shared a black-and-white teaser from Kravitz’s July 2026 cover story. The image showed several tattoos across her back, including the small phrase “Let it rip.”
E! News also reported that fans connected Kravitz’s tattoo to a matching phrase on Styles’ right arm. People noted that older photos of Kravitz without the back tattoo have helped fans guess a possible timeline, but the exact date she got the ink has not been confirmed.
Styles Had Been Seen With the Same Phrase on His Arm

Styles’ tattoo was previously spotted during his European tour, according to People. The phrase appears above a palm tree design on his arm.
The matching text gives fans another detail to study after months of engagement speculation. People reported that Kravitz has been supporting Styles on tour, including at his opening night in Amsterdam, while staying low-key about wedding plans.
The Phrase Has Not Been Explained by Either Star
Page Six noted that “Let it rip” is also a phrase associated with The Bear, but neither Kravitz nor Styles has said whether the tattoos refer to the show, a private joke, or something else.
Kravitz and Styles both already have extensive tattoo collections. Kravitz has visible ink across her arms, hands, neck, and back, while Styles’ tattoos have been part of his public image since his One Direction years.
The couple’s engagement has also been handled quietly. Vogue reported that the pair shared the news with a small circle of family and friends, while People reported that Kravitz has remained private about wedding plans.
