Ezra Sosa Gets ‘Nothing’ Tattoo in Honor of Anna Delvey’s ‘DWTS’ One-Word Exit
Anna Delvey took “nothing” from her Dancing with the Stars experience, but it’s now immortalized on show partner Ezra Sosa’s body!
The dance pro got the 33-year-old convicted con artist’s memorable — and controversial — final comment on the competition reality series inked on his body, he revealed in a TikTok on Saturday, Oct. 5.
He debuted the upper back tattoo — “nothing” in cursive above a “33” to mark season 33 — while lip-syncing along to the now-infamous moment.
“What are you going to take away from this competition?” DWTS host Julianne Hough’s voice says as someone moves a paper towel off of Sosa’s back to reveal the tattoo in time with Delvey’s reply: “Nothing.”
“There you have it,” Hough’s voice continues as Sosa lip-syncs along and points at the camera. “Absolutely nothing.”
In the caption, Sosa poked fun at his decision to get the one-word reply inked, writing, “[I’m] such an idiot.”
Delvey replied with a similarly blunt response, commenting, “Exactly.”

Sosa’s new Delvey tribute ink comes less than two weeks after he and the controversial contestant were eliminated.
Right after their elimination was announced, Sosa appeared shocked by his partner’s reply, raising his eyebrows in surprise. As demonstrated by his new ink, however, the dancer later told PEOPLE he thinks Delvey’s reaction was “iconic.”
“I was — I’m not going to lie — I was a little nervous [about] what she was going to say,” he recalled. “But with what she said, I think it was very iconic.”
Sosa said he is “really happy with how [Delvey] ended [her run on the show]” because she stayed true to herself throughout the experience. “With me being her partner on the show, I wanted her to show different sides of herself to America, but also I don’t want her to ever change who she is, because I really think she’s so brilliant and everything,” he said.
The DWTS pro also recalled that he could tell in the moment that Delvey was “livid” when they were not announced as being “safe” from elimination — and revealed that the duo has kept in touch since, both in and outside of TikTok comments.
“We’re texting every day,” he told PEOPLE. “Yes, we are. She’s like, ‘You have to come to New York!’ And I was like, ‘Do you miss me?’ She goes, ‘Sure.’ But every single time she says sure it means yes.”
“Like, I kind of have her down a little bit,” he explained.
