Zendaya and Tom Holland took their love story to another level long before it was discovered that they had gotten engaged.
The "Euphoria" star sparked engagement rumors after she spotted a massive engagement ring at the Golden Globes Award, but reports claim she and Holland already got matching inks long before then.
Zendaya, who was said to be shocked that Tom Holland proposed to her, is ready to "spend her life" with the "Spider-Man" star.
Zendaya And Tom Holland Got Matching 'Z' & 'T' Tattoos
Zendaya and Tom Holland took steps to immortalize their romance before the actor finally got down on one knee to propose.
According to TMZ, the "Spider-Man: Homecoming" co-stars got matching tattoos at a Boston tattoo company in Massachusetts the day before Thanksgiving.
The couple's inks were small and discreet as Zendaya got a "T" ink on her ribcage while Holland got his matching "Z" tattoo in the same spot.
The news outlet claims Zendaya's Mom went with them for the tattoo date and even got a small ink of her own.
Meanwhile, the power couple seemingly scored a bargain on the price as the tattoo parlor, which usually charges $150 minimum, slashed the price to $100.
The staff were reportedly startled to see the pair walk in the door and jelly legs because it was their first time seeing them.

Spotting Zendaya's ink at the star-studded event must have taken rapt attention to detail, but one thing fans didn't miss was the sparkly piece of jewelry she wore on her ring finger.
For the event, the "Challengers" actress turned heads in a burnt tangerine Louis Vuitton gown and a new bob hairstyle while proudly showing off her engagement ring.
Speaking about Zendaya's decision to reveal the ring at the Award ceremony, a source told the Daily Mail that she "knew what she was doing when she wore that ring, and she did not care."
They continued, "She also knew that this would get out there, but she was ready for it. She loves Tom and he has been with her through thick and thin. They have a unique private romance and although they may seem very opposite, nothing could be further from the truth."

Holland notably proposed to Zendaya the "old-fashioned" way as he reportedly got permission from her family, particularly her father.
"The proposal was sweet and romantic and happened over the holidays," the insider shared. "He did it the old-fashioned way and got permission from her folks. Everyone is thrilled."
The source continued, "They are the most normal couple at home, and she is ready to spend her life with him. She has gotten everything she dreamed of and marrying Tom and starting a family is next on her list."
Tom Holland Reveals Plan To Retire From Acting When He's Ready To Start A Family
Meanwhile, Holland, who reportedly left Zendaya shocked when he proposed to her, recently shared his plans for managing his career when they start their family.
In a conversation with Men's Health Magazine, the "Uncharted" actor disclosed that he's willing to quit acting and become a stay-at-home dad once they start having kids instead of getting a nanny.
"When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore," he told the news outlet. "Golf and dad - and I will just disappear off the face of the earth."
A source also told the Daily Mail that the pair "do not want to be the couple who has nannies and babysitters taking care of their children."
"One of them will always be there with their children when they do have kids," the insider explained. "They want to have the traditional family, and they currently do not have a team at home. It is just them and this is how they prefer it."

He emphasized that their connection is personal and separate from their professional lives, asserting, "We don't think that we owe it to anyone, it's our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers."
