Zelda Williams got inked as a tribute to her "poppo" Robin Williams.

Two months after the death of Robin Williams, his daughter Zelda Williams gets a new, breathtaking tattoo in memory of her late father.

The Oscar winner's daughter now has a hummingbird drawing placed above her father's birth date, "7.21.51," on her right hand. Zelda got the tattoo at Hollywood's famed Shamrock Social by artist Dr. Woo, and expressed on Instagram that she was pleased with the ink. "For poppo. Thank you to the incomparable @dr_woo_ssc for so beautifully bringing my reminders to life," the 25-year-old wrote on Wednesday.

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.

Dr. Woo also shared an Instagram pic of Zelda's ink, writing: "A special hummingbird for @zeldawilliams."

Zelda also used her Instagram post to reveal that she's once again taking a bit of a break from social networking. "As for this Instagram, I don't know in what capacity I'll continue using it in the future," she shared.

"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," Zelda warned her 84,000-plus followers. "They could be utilizing sympathy to scam you."

She concluded the message by insisting that people only believe what she posts. "For the record, no one has ever or will ever speak for me but me. Thank you."


Robin died of suicide this past August in his California home at age 63. A few weeks ago, Zelda tweeted about her father's battle with depression on World Mental Health Day. "Mental illness is often misunderstood and misrepresented, but that's starting to change. Let's end the stigma," she wrote. "My dad openly fought depression his whole life, both in general and his own. No matter what anyone says, it is a FIGHT. Fight on."

While Zelda pays tribute to her dad on social networks and with fresh ink, Robin's pal Billy Crystal remembered the actor/comedian at the 2014 Emmy Awards. Check it out, below:
