Lea Michele posed nude for her recent Women’s Health cover, for which she showed off her “Finn” tattoo in tribute to her late boyfriend and Glee costar Cory Monteith.

Lea Michele ‘Finn’ Tattoo

On the cover of Women’s Health‘s September issue, Michelle poses entirely naked in a kneeling position. A tattoo reading “Finn” on the actress’ left butt cheek is hard to miss. Fans of Michelle and Monteith immediately made the connection, as Finn is the name of the high school quarterback Monteith played on Glee, where he met Michele.

So honored to follow in the great @chrissyteigen ‘s footsteps and grace this years cover of @ukwomenshealth Naked Issue ? I’m so proud of this cover and I’m so happy I can finally share it with you all! #confidenceissexy #healthyissexy

Michele took to Twitter after the magazine’s cover was released to explain that the tattoo isn’t new. In fact, she had gotten the ink while the two were dating back in 2011. “Actually got that tattoo in December 2011!” Michele tweeted. “Boy was than a fun night.”

Back in April, Michele revealed that she had gotten a tattoo on her right side of the number 5, Finn Hudson’s football jersey number. “And one more… for my Quarterback.. #5,” Michele captioned an Instagram snap.

And one more.. for my Quarterback.. #5 ❤️

Michele is said to have a third tattoo in honor of Monteith – “If you say so” – that references her 2013 single that was written about the late actor.
