There are many ways to celebrate (or mourn) the end of our favourite television shows: crying into a bowl of Ben & Jerrys, rewatching the entire series from Season 1 on a loop until your dying day, praying to the 'Netflix Gods' that a remake is on the horizon.

But, for Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke - who just got the most gorgeous super short blonde bob, FYI - she already has an idea of how she’s mark the end of the hit HBO series in 2019.

During an interview with LIVE with Kelly and Ryan yesterday morning, the Solo: A Star Wars Story actress revealed she’s already booked herself in for a tattoo.

Host Ryan Seacrest asked the 31-year-old - who plays Daenerys Targaryen on GOT -: 'I was in a tattoo parlour the other day trying to get an appointment and they said that they were full because you’re coming in to get a tattoo of a dragon? Are you really doing it?'

We'll quickly move past the fact that Seacrest is getting a tat (say what?) and focus on Clarke, who burst into a big smile and replied: 'Yes! Sorry, mum!'

But, wait. Emilia isn’t getting just any tattoo.

Oh no, when you’re the M.O.D (Mother of Dragons), there’s only one inking worthy of being put on your body.

‘I’m going to get a dragon right here [points at wrist] kind of flying away,’ she said. ‘So I think that’s cool. A little kind of peace out.’

Ripa jokingly said: ‘I thought you’d get one of the big back tattoos.’

Erm, hell no, Kelly. This isn’t some Ben Affleck-Justin Theroux type tat, pur-lease.

Of course, Clarke won't be the first GOT fan to commemorate the show's with a tattoo.


We can't wait to see what your tattoo looks like, Emilia!
