Shia LaBeouf really does have Missy Elliott tattoos on his knees

Honestly, getting tatted on Shia is probably more prestigious than a Hollywood Walk of Fame star.

When it was revealed this September that Shia LaBeof had not one but two Missy Elliott tattoos, the search for photographic evidence earnestly began.

The actor stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to discuss his wedding and latest projects—but DeGeneres didn't let him sit on the couch in shorts without first revealing the infamous tattoos and explaining why exactly the legendary rapper was emblazoned on his thighs.

Turns out it's not just Missy Elliot that LaBeauf has pictured above either knee (one of which is the iconic Missy-look from "The Rain" music video).

"These are landmarks...they are people I love," he explained, letting the camera's finally expose what might be the best celebrity body art.

While on the show, LaBeouf also revealed to DeGeneres that his recent wedding to longtime girlfriend Mia Goth was supposed to be a private Las Vegas affair that was mistakenly broadcast to the world.

"Part of the King Tut package, you get a live-stream deal for free," he told DeGeneres. "I said we don't really need that," explaining that both their mothers were present and they were happy with just a private video.

He said something had changed when they returned home and the chapel told them the ceremony was streamed because someone pressed the wrong button and later picked up by TMZ.

He did confirm that it wasn't just another performance art piece and the two are happily wed. With a new family and some dope tattoos, it seems as if Louis Stevens really is all grown up.
