American country music star Tyler Hubbard has taken his love for Australia to a another level by inking a ‘souvenir’ on his leg.
The platinum-selling singer is on the Aussie leg of his world tour, Strong, with sold-out shows in Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast.
As a souvenir for his time in Australia, the American musician chose a permanent memento of his Down Under trip – a tattoo on his right leg.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, the country star shared a short clip that showed him in a Melbourne tattoo shop.
He revealed that he and his band decided to get inked to commemorate their jaunt.
Tyler revealed his new ink was a postage stamp design that featured a kangaroo standing in front of a map outline of Australia.
‘Me and the boys got a little signature Australian postage stamp as a little souvenir’ Tyler said in the clip.
‘This might be my travel leg now,’ he added, indicating that more tour inspired ink could find its way onto Tyler’s leg.
Captioning the Aussie homage, Tyler said that he had formed a special bond with the country.

Another chimed in: ‘Very cool new tattoo love it that all the guys and you have the same one I also love that there’s always a meaning behind each of your tattoos and not just random items so glad you’re having fun in Australia.’
Appearing on Today Extra on Tuesday, the country superstar explained he and his team were enjoying a day off in Melbourne when they decided to create a ‘little memory’ of their time Down Under.
‘We had a day off in, Melbourne so me and the boys we ended up going to get a little tattoo,’ he said.

With ‘a couple of days off’ between shows, Hubbard took time to enjoy all Melbourne has to offer, including the ‘good food’ and coffee.
‘When we were in Melbourne, we just kind of roamed around the city, had some good food, and just explored a little bit,’ he said.
‘The city is awesome. It’s got a lot of good energy.’
Tyler, who is best known as one half of the former music duo Florida Georgia Line, launched his solo career in 2021.
He has since released two albums – a self-titled debut in 2023, and strong which dropped in April this year.
He is on tour across the three Australian cities, with Queensland country artist and ‘rodeo cowboy’ Wade Forster as the opening act.
