Since giving birth to her twin babies Rumi and Sir Carter earlier this summer, Beyoncé has been keen to show fans on Instagram that she's well and truly enjoying some down-time with her family.

From posting pictures of her date-night outfits, to hanging out at Kendrick Lamar gigs with her BFF Kelly Rowland and daughter Blue Ivy, it's safe to say Queen Bey has been one busy bee since giving birth.

However, one of her latest posts this week has got fans in a serious flutter as it appears the 36-year-old might just have inked over her matching 'IV' wedding tattoo she got with husband Jay-Z.

Dressed in skin-tight pink trousers, pink sequinned heels and a bright blue pussy bow shirt, the mother-of-three showed off her ring finger - which was covered in diamonds - and fans caught a glimpse of the star's new tattoo.

When Jay and Beyoncé tied the knot on 4 April 2008, the pair inked the Roman number 'four' on their wedding ring fingers in ode to each other.

The number also has significance for the pair as Beyoncé's fourth album was called 4, the new father's latest album is titled 4.44, and their birthdays both fall not he fourth of the month.

However, before you start thinking the new inking may signal trouble in paradise for Beyoncé and Jay fear not because, by the looks of Instagram, it appears the pair are happier than they've ever been.

Yesterday, the 'Formation' singer posted several images of her and Jay onboard a yacht showing off some PDA.

Last Sunday, Beyoncé made her first official appearance since welcoming her twins at Rihanna's Diamond Ball with her rapper/producer beau by her side and looked undeniably smitten.

New inking, new you, Beyoncé?
