Emma Watson Shows Off New Time's Up Tattoo (Which Is Misspelled)
But it's only temporary anyway. And she still got the message across.
After the 2018 Oscars, "Beauty and the Beast" belle Emma Watson showed off her new tattoo at the Vanity Fair after-party. The black cursive tat isn't permanent, but it reads "Times Up."

The big picture takeaway is that Emma Watson is a very public supporter of the Time's Up movement. She regularly backs that up with action -- donating about $1.4 million to a U.K.-based fund to fight sexual harassment, assault, and discrimination. She's a UN Women Goodwill ambassador. And she attended the 2018 Golden Globes with Marai Larasi, who heads Imkaan, which fights violence against minority women.
She's a good egg.
