Photo: Zelda Williams Honors Father Robin with New Tattoo

Just two months after the tragic death of legendary comedian Robin Williams, his daughter Zelda Williams turned to Instagram to reveal her new tattoo in memory of her late father.

The tattoo, which was placed on her right hand, features a hummingbird along with the birth date of her father, "7.21.51." ET reports that the drawing was done by tattoo artist Dr. Woo at Hollywood's famed Shamrock Social.

Zelda captioned the Instagram image: "For poppo. Thank you to the incomparable @dr_woo_ssc for so beautifully bringing my reminders to life. I'll always put my hand out to shake with a smile. As for this Instagram, I don't know in what capacity I'll continue using it in the future, but I'm leaving it up regardless so that fake accounts hoping to use my name or misuse my family's photos will get no traction. To be clear, this is MY ONLY account. Publicly, I have Twitter, and this. If other people post quotes and photos claiming to be me or my family, please, do not send them personal information or click links, even for charity. They could be utilizing sympathy to scam you. For the record, no one has ever or will ever speak for me but me. Thank you."
