Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick Explains Latest Tattoo: America Has Been Good to Me!

About a month ago, Ed Westwick went to his tattoo artist and got two new tats, one of which is this large feather on his left arm. (Photo of the other tatto below.) At the premiere of Penn Badgley's latest horror flick, The Stepfather, on October 13, Just Jared caught up with the Gossip Girl star and asked where the inspiration for the feather came from.

What significance does the new ink have for the 22-year-old British actor? "My mate and I got it together," Ed exclusively tells JustJared.com. "He got an American eagle feather from a Native American and it means a lot to us. This is a world exclusive, Jared!" (He then proceeded to pat my shoulder in his charming Ed way.) What does the eagle feather symbolize to Ed? "America has been good to me!"
