Amanda Bynes appears to be getting heart-shaped face tattoo removed as she displays noticeably faded ink during outing in LA
Amanda Bynes stepped out in Los Angeles on Friday with her heart-shaped face tattoo barely visible.
The 37-year-old former child star - who was spotted weeks ago for the first time since entering an Orange County treatment facility - looked healthy as she pulled her bleached locks into a neat topknot bun.
She wore a short-sleeved, gray, crew neck T-shirt and high-waisted white jeans as she spoke on the phone.
The actress tucked the tee into her pants and wore a pair of strappy, white sandals.
Bynes initially debuted the ink on her visage back in December of 2019.

It comes after the troubled star checked herself into a treatment facility in July.
TMZ reported that the She's The Man actress preferred the latest facility because she had the support of a medical team, therapists and the company of other patients.
Weeks ago Amanda was pictured out in Orange County, California, after a shopping trip to a Ralph's grocery store.
Sources told the publication last month that she had graduated from her initial status at the mental health facility, which had prevented her from making excursions.
Now she is reportedly in a minimal supervision group, granting her permission to leave the grounds at certain times of the day on her own.
Bynes had previously been enrolled in an outpatient treatment program, but she later checked herself into a more intensive inpatient option.
In June she was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold, just two months after she was released from a three-week stay at a mental health facility, after she had been found roaming the streets of Los Angeles naked.
At the time a mental health evaluation had deemed her 'a danger to herself and others.'

Bynes was, however, coherent enough to call the police to report that she was in distress.
Her psychiatric hold was subsequently extended by a week as doctors worked to stabilize her.
After she was picked up by police for wandering the streets unclothed, Bynes' former fiancé Paul Michael told Page Six that she had not been taking her prescribed medications prior to the mental health crisis.
For nine years Amanda was under a conservatorship, and her mother Lynn helped ensure that she took her medication as prescribed.
