Okay, Halsey, this is a mood.

Halsey is unstoppable right now. Following the early October release of her new single 'Without Me', Halsey appeared at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and had a stellar SNL performance this past Saturday (Nov.10). The young star doesn't look to be slowing down any time soon.

Halsey's SNL performance wasn't all work, though. The singer found time to get inked up and the details behind her new Libra-themed tattoo prove that Halsey is as spontaneous as ever. Halsey shared a photograph of her new tattoo, inked by celeb artist JonBoy, and explained that it was drawn by none other than Lil Wayne.

Your favourite Libra came through with the scales of justice drawn by Lil Wayne and inked by JonBoy. According to Halsey's caption, the art was tatted SECONDS before she went on stage for her SNL performance with the rapper. Now, if that isn't rock n' roll, then I'm not sure what is.

We'll forgive you for not realising that Wayne and Halsey were pals, but the two Libras recently teamed up on "Can't Be Broken" for Saturday Night Live.

It's unclear whose vocals can be heard on Wayne's album version of "Can't Be Broken", but Halsey's rendition is definitely a winner, made only better by the fact that she'd just gotten a tattoo moments earlier.

As for the meaning behind Halsey's new tattoo, we're gonna guess that she's alluding to forgiveness balancing out the weight of sin. Libra or not, that's a message we can all get behind.

Her new Libra tattoo isn't her first one done by JonBoy. Coincidentally, her "I'm a loser baby" neck tattoo was also inked by JonBoy a couple of days before she performed on SNL back in January 2018. Suh' cute!
