It seems that Adria Arjona has become attached to her character, Bix Caleen, from the Star Wars series Andor. The actress recently revealed she has a tattoo to honor the character that she portrayed over the last few years.
The actress shared she got a "stoke and poke" tattoo of an X on her arm, and it apparently occurred while she was on a lunch break, with her makeup artist being the one to do the tattoo.
Bix Caleen has been a fan favorite on Andor. The character is a friend and romantic interest to the titular character of Cassian Andor. Based on several trailers for the show's second and final season, she will once again be heavily featured in the series.
In my opinion, Arjona has portrayed Bix with much vulnerability and courage that has been displayed on screen. Season 1 was brutal for Bix. She was tortured at the hands of the Empire, but the Season 2 trailers still show her wanting to be a part of the growing rebellion.
I have a tattoo on my right shoulder with an award from my time in the Air Force. It is important to me and stands for my service. It seems that Bix made a similar impact on Arjona.
She spoke on what the character means to her personally via StarWars.com, saying, “So, not only do I have a lot of my success to thank for this role, I think people saw me in a different way and gave me other opportunities thanks to Bix."
Arjona has since starred in films with likes of stars Glenn Powell and Channing Tatum since her debut on Andor in 2022. She also starred in Pacific Rim: Uprising with fellow Star Wars alumni John Boyega. Her character of Bix, though, is the only character she has chosen to immortalize on her body with a tattoo.
It speaks to the popularity and impact that Andor has had. The show has garnered high praise from not only critics and average audience watching members but the Star Wars fanbase as a whole.
The second season of Andor is set to premiere with three episodes on April 22. As audience members will be able to enjoy the premiere, remembering that actors apart of the series such as Arjona also have been impacted in just as a strong a way can make the viewing experience even better.
