Dominic Monaghan got his new lower right arm tattoo on the reality show LA Ink, which depicts Kat Von D and her tattoo shop, High Voltage Tattoo. (Dom appeared on the George Lopez Tonight with Kat Von D.)

Dom's tattoo depicts the flesh of his arm ripped open and peeling back to reveal the words "Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter" – that's right, it's a quote from Yoda. Take a look:

In the US, Season 4 of LA Ink starts airing August 11 on TLC.
