‘Baywatch’ alum Erika Eleniak shows off edgy sleeve tattoos in rare outing

Erika Eleniak is all inked up.

The “Baywatch” alum, 53, was spotted walking her dog in California Sunday — and showing off the full tattoo sleeves she’s added since her time on the hit ’90s show.

As seen in photos exclusively obtained by Page Six, Eleniak’s colorful designs include a skull wearing a crown of thorns, a wolf, spiderwebs and what appears to be an eagle wearing a witch’s hat on one arm.

Her other arm is inked with a monarch butterfly, flowers and more.

Eleniak, who famously portrayed Shauni McClain on “Baywatch,” rarely shows off her tats in public.

The former Playboy Playmate most recently flashed her intricate ink on Instagram in May, with one fan commenting, “I’m very impressed that you got some really decent ink going on. That is totally cool.”

Added another, “Never knew about your tattoos … you [sic] looking stunning!”

While the actress — who made her film debut in Steven Spielberg’s 1982 film “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” — stays out of the spotlight these days, she does frequently post content on social media.

In April, she shared she was struggling with getting older and dealing with all the changes that come with aging.

“[I’m] going through a lot of healing right now and the one thing that we know about life that is constant is that nothing is constant,” she said in an Instagram video at the time.

“So I’ve been doing some deep digging, right, about aging all of this,” she said gesturing towards her face. “Struggling to hold onto my youth, to let it go, where to be in that.”

She also spoke about childhood trauma that has “really defined and shaped so much” in her life which explains why she has ” lived in fear for so long.”

“Life is so beautiful, and it’s always changing, and we have a choice,” she said while holding back tears before the video cut off.

But by May, Eleniak — who hosts a podcast called “Spiritual Alchemy with Erika” — seemed to be taking on a more positive outlook and shared how she was practicing self-care.

“Wishing everyone a very happy ‘Self-Care Sunday,'” she captioned the aforementioned Instagram post showing off her tats.

“What are you doing for YOU? I will be spending time with family-So good for the soul. #selfcaresunday.”
