For most of us, sitting through a 90-minute football match or enduring a couple's outdoor run is enough proof to a partner of just how much we love them.

But for Miley Cyrus, nothing screams 'I love you' like a tattoo of yeast extract.

Over the weekend, the singer visited famous tattoo artist Doctor Woo at the the Shamrock Social Club in Hollywood to get a black inking of a pot of Vegemite – the famous Australian food paste similar to the UK's Marmite.

Dr Woo posted a picture of the former Disney star's tattoo to Instagram with the caption: '@mileycyrus don't play when it comes to #vegemite #halfneedle.'

Many believe the inking to be a romantic gesture to her Australian beau Liam Hemsworth, given his obsession for the snack.

The Hunger Games actor recently told Australia's Sunday Style about his love for the after-school treat.

'After-school Milo [a chocolate milk drink] and Vegemite on toast.'

'I lived on it,' he added.

Miley, how about next time you just buy Liam some Vegemite? It's much cheaper and far less painful.
