Miley Cyrus has handled her recent, very public, split with husband Liam Hemsworth with admirable grace. Whilst the majority of us going through a traumatic breakup would have filled their days manically texting their friends trying to convince them to convince you that cutting your hair into a mullet is a very good ideal, Miley has handled the dissolution of her relationship in the coolest way imaginable.

Last night at the MTV Video Music Awards, Cyrus performed her new single ‘Slide Away’ — a track that addresses the fallout of her split with husband Liam Hemsworth. During the performance, a couple of eagle-eyed fans spotted that Cyrus was sporting some new post-breakup ink.

Cyrus’ new bicep tattoo features lyrics from the Pixies track ‘The Thing’, a song that appeared as B-side on the 1990 record Velouria. “My head was feeling scared, but my heart was feeling free.”
