Ink today, gone tomorrow.

Zoë Kravitz might be covered in countless tattoos, but the actress told GQ she’s planning on ditching some of her numerous designs in a recent cover story.

“Just things, I’m like, ‘I don’t need this on my body,’” she said of her decision to laser off a few pieces, including a star on her finger that she got at the age of 18.

The “High Fidelity” star — who also said she was debating whether she wanted “a marriage, children, any of it” following her divorce from Karl Glusman — has so many tattoos that she told InStyle last year she’d actually lost track of the number.

“I think tattoos are a beautiful form of adornment, just like makeup or jewelry,” the 33-year-old told the publication when asked about her rumored 56 pieces of ink.

“It’s funny because I don’t even know how many I have.”

“I hardly see them anymore because I am so used to them,” she said, adding, “I have gotten a few removed, but I plan on getting more tattoos.”

The daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet is covered in delicate designs depicting leaves, arrows and letters on her arms and hands, but she’s also got some larger designs such as a cassette tape, a snake and an eagle — as well as other tats on her feet, neck and behind her ear.

The “Big Little Lies” actress also shares some meaningful designs with loved ones, including a “Free At Last” tattoo to match her father’s, and one that says “être toujours ivre” (translated roughly as “to always be drunk” in French) just like her ex-stepdad, Jason Momoa.

Kravitz favors celebrity tattoo artist Dr. Woo, who has inked everyone from Demi Lovato and Brooklyn Beckham to Miley Cyrus, Jessica Alba and more.

Although she didn’t specify which pieces she wasn’t vibing with anymore, the actress — who is dating Channing Tatum — doesn’t have any plans to quit her ink obsession.

“Once you’re into it, it’s hard to stop,” she told InStyle.
