How do you convey the depth of your friendship when best friends forever necklaces aren’t quite enough? Well, if you’re models Kaia Gerber and Cara Delevingne, you go for a matching foot tattoo.

Gerber, 18, unveiled their ink in celebration of Delevingne’s 28th birthday - though it’s entirely possible they’ve had their matching tattoos for a while now.

Taking to her Instagram story to share a tribute to her model best friend, Gerber posted a close up look at her and Delevingne’s feet before and after their tattoos, which you will probably not want to see if feet freak you out (foot aficionados, it’s your time to shine).

“Happy birthday to my solemate,” Gerber wrote alongside an image (that can’t be unseen) of her and Delevingne with their hands and feet clasped together.

After sharing a photo of Delevingne modeling a sweatshirt with Gerber’s face on it, Gerber also posted a shot of their feet post-tattoo. Adapting their play on words in the form of permanent ink, Delevingne and Gerber both had “solemate” written along the arch of the foot.

Though this appears to be Gerber and Delevingne's first matching tattoo, it’s not Delevingne’s first friendship tattoo - it’s not even her first foot tattoo. She and model Jourdan Dunn have the initials “DD” tattooed on their hips (presumably for Delevingne and Dunn).

Delevingne and Suicide Squad co-star Margot Robbie also have matching foot tattoos. “We did toe-mojis, we were calling them, where we’d tattoo the bottom of our toes with little faces,” Robbie told late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon in 2016.

Robbie did the tattoos herself, however, they may have faded by now. “The thing about tattooing the bottom of your toes is that it rubs off after a while, so we have to keep redoing them,” Robbie explained.

And Delevingne also has the word “Bacon” tattooed on the sole of her foot, as well as “Made In England.” Any other friends looking for matching tattoos with the model might want to act fast before she runs out of room.
