Jada Pinkett Smith has decided to start working on her goal of having a sleeve tattoo by 60.

The "Nutty Professor" star took to Instagram Sunday to share a snap of her new ink. According to the 49-years-old celebrity, she wanted to have a sleeve tattoo by 60 but decided to start her goal early because "tomorrow is not promised."

"I always said I would get a sleeve at 60 but tomorrow is not promised. Soooo … I’m starting to build my sleeve now!" she wrote in the caption. "Repp’n the Divine Feminine journey within and without. JaiMa #MataSita #Allat #Oshun #QuanYin"

Pinkett Smith's post received several comments from her celebrity pals and followers. Many of them approved of her tattoo.

"Oh wow. So so so so beautiful Jada!!! I can’t wait to see her in person!!" musician Jahnavi Harrison commented. Author Jay Shetty also wrote, "So Dope and divine" along with fire emoji.

Pinkett Smith's newest ink came just months after she got matching tattoos with her mom Adrienne Banfield-Norris, 67, and daughter Willow Smith, 20. The trio got tattoos of three blossoming lotuses by iconic tattoo artist Dr. Woo, People reported.

Pinkett Smith and Banfield-Norris both opted to get small flowers sprouting in a downward direction while Willow opted for a larger flower that bloomed upward. The moment was documented on their Facebook Watch series.

In the episode, Willow said the lotus represented spiritual enlightenment as she quoted the saying, "Through the mud grows the lotus." She added that aside from expressing their spiritual journey, the ink also represented the three of them.

"I'm the youngest, my mom is the middle, and Gam is the fully bloomed lotus," she said.

Willow also shared in the same episode that she had a hard time telling her dad, Will Smith, about her new ink. In fact, she shared the design with her mom weeks before she got inked and her father only learned about it afterward.

"He was actually the one that I was most nervous about," she shared. "I showed my mom the art for my half-sleeve three weeks before I got it. But I didn't tell my dad."

When the "Gemini Man" star learned about his daughter's tattoo a few days later, he called her and she showed it to him.

"Everything is in divine order. Your path is your path and I love you," Willow shared what her dad told her after seeing her ink.
