The singer said she and Lohan "escaped through the back and jumped over the wall" of a hotel to go to a tattoo parlor, where they got matching finger tattoos that feature the word: "Shhh..."
Lily Allen is looking back at her friendship with Lindsay Lohan in the late 2000s, and how one girls night out left her doing what she called "the beggiest thing that I've ever done."
On Monday's episode of her Miss Me? podcast, the singer recalled how she and Lohan once "escaped" a hotel in Los Angeles to get matching friendship tattoos, only to later learn the ink was identical to Rihanna's.
During the episode, Allen and her co-host, Miquita Oliver, discussed their "beg friends" and admitted to their "beggiest moments." According to Oliver, a "beg friend" is a "kind of a latching on, jumping onto s--t. You can smell it a mile off."

The "Smile" singer said she would hang out with the Freaky Friday star when she was in Los Angeles, with Oliver noting that Allen and Lohan became friends because Lohan was dating Samantha Ronson at the time, and Allen was friends with her brother, Mark Ronson.
"Whenever I'd go to LA, I would hang out with her," Allen recalled. "There was one night where we'd been partying, and I was staying at the Chateau Marmont hotel, which, for people who don't know what that is, it's a sort of legendary Hollywood hotel."
"She basically lived at that hotel on and off for a long time, but she wasn't at this time living there," she continued. "But I was staying there, and my managers had stationed my security outside my room, because they knew how much of a terrorist I was, in terms of just like going out and partying till the early hours of the morning."

Despite the security blocking off her room, Allen said Lohan was able to break her out.
"Lindsay Lohan knew her way around the hotel," she recalled. "She climbed over the back wall of the hotel into my garden where my room was. She was like, 'Pst! Come on let’s go, this way!'"
"So we escaped through the back and jumped over the wall and then went to the Shamrock Tattoo Parlour on Sunset Boulevard and got matching friendship tattoos on our fingers that both said 'Shh' on it,'" she said.

"Oh no!" Oliver said with a gasp. "Like this couldn't be any worse!" Allen said she had no idea Rihanna was sporting similar ink, but what was done was done.
"That's literally the beggiest thing that I've ever done in my life is gone with Lindsay Lohan to beg-friend Rihanna by getting copycat tattoos," Allen said, while Oliver cackled with laughter.
"I've got the picture here, Jesus Christ! It looks like a different time, don't it babe?" Oliver said, showing a photo of Allen and Lohan's ink. Allen has since tweaked hers to her birth year of 1985.
Last year while appearing on the Off Menu podcast, per The Daily Mail, Allen said she was "very angry" with Lohan "because she had sold it to me as an original idea. She did not tell me it was already existing on one of the coolest pop stars in the whole world."

View StorySpeaking on the Miss Me? podcast, Allen said she and Lohan had a strained relationship for some time, but the two are on good terms now, years later.
'Lindsay and I -- it was quite fraught for a bit between the two of us," she explained. "I can't really remember why, maybe because I was close to Samantha [Ronson] and things got a bit heated between them, too."
"But now things are really nice. She texts me sort of intermittently when she's around in New York," Allen added. "She's producing stuff, she's very supportive on social media, always likes my pictures and comments under things. I love Linds!"
