Tatt's the limit! Cody Simpson adds to his collection of body art with THIRD inked design... a palm tree growing out of an anchor

He was the Queensland teenager who jetted off to America to chase his dreams of becoming a singer.

Now Cody Simpson is proving he isn't that fresh-faced young boy any more.

The 18-year-old went under the needle on Monday to get a fresh tattoo of a palm tree-  intertwined with a boat anchor - on his upper forearm.

The black-and-white art work shows a boat's anchor with a palm tree sprouted from it.

According to tradition, the tree is a solar symbol where the fronds of the palm represent the rays of the sun radiating out from the centre circle.  

It is associated with truth, honour, vitality and aspiration. 

Meanwhile, an anchor can represent stability and security. 

Cody's latest addition was created by LA artist Doctor Woo who took to social media to share a snap of his masterpiece.

'When a mommy palm tree meets a daddy anchor on @codysimpson,' the artists captioned the close-up picture.

This is the third time Cody has seated in a tattoo chair over the past two months.

Last month he went under the needle to get a design of a sun inked up on his collarbone.

The black and white piece, which was also created by the LA tattooist, was a modern interpretation of the Mayan sun.

Then in late May Cody got the symbol of his recording label's Coast House logo tatted on his inner elbow.

The design is made up of a circle, a squiggly line and three short, straight lines.

'The balance of all natural things' he captioned a photo of his body art posted to Instagram at the time.

The markings reportedly represent the sun, water and earth in relation to his new company.

Cody's recent additions of tattoos have come just days after he split from girlfriend of two years and model Gigi Hadid.

In an interview with Dujour magazine last week, the Australian artist revealed the pair called it quits after he struggled with fame.

'It was an amicable, mutual decision, and we still talk each one now and then, yet the highly publicized thing made me uncomfortable,' he told the publication.
