Cate Blanchett's Oscars tattoo could be a tribute to pal Philip Seymour Hoffman

Cate Blanchett's trip to a Hollywood tattoo parlour could be more than just marking her second Oscar win; it is being speculated that the tattoo may be dedicated to her friend Philip Seymour Hoffman, who died this year from an accidental drug overdose.

The 44-year-old actress was clicked with her husband Andrew Upton along with fellow actors Amy Adams and her fiance Darren Le Gallo at the parlour, which most of the press widely speculate was to mark her winning the best actress award for her performance in Woody Allen's 'Blue Jasmine,' the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Blanchett later came out with a black tape covering her left wrist, which left the design of her tattoo open to speculation.
