Erika Eleniak<\/a> is making a splash. <\/p>\n

The actress covered up her colorful sleeve tattoos in order to reprise her\u00a0role of Shauni McClain on the Fox reboot of \u201cBaywatch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eleniak, 56, was spotted on set Thursday, wearing a dark green tank top and matching slacks with a cropped, white linen shirt.<\/p>\n

Her hands and arms were visibly bare, with the 90s icon rocking, unpainted nails and just a dainty gold bracelet on her left wrist. <\/p>\n

Missing were Eleniak\u2019s elaborate tattoos that fully envelop both of her arms<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The images inked on one arm include a skull dawning a crown of thorns, spiderwebs, a wolf and what seemingly appears to be an eagle wearing a witch\u2019s hat.<\/p>\n

Her other arm is painted with a monarch butterfly, flowers and other eccentric pieces.<\/p>\n

But to play Shauni, the tats had to go.<\/p>\n

Eleniak starred as the girl-next-door lifeguard in the first two seasons of \u201cBaywatch\u201d from 1989 to 1992. <\/p>\n

She exited the beloved 11-season drama at the start of Season 3.<\/p>\n

The original series also starred David Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra, Jason Momoa, David Charvet, Nicole Eggert and more. <\/p>\n

While celebrating the 30th anniversary of \u201cBaywatch\u201d in 2019, Eleniak revealed she left the series to focus on her film career.<\/p>\n

She explained to\u00a0the Mercury News<\/a> at the time: \u201cIt was kind of a great time to go because my swansong was the introduction of C.J. Parker,\u00a0Pamela Anderson\u2018s character. And I mean, they hit the lottery.\u201d<\/p>\n

In recent years Eleniak has mostly stepped away from acting \u2014 but is making an exception to step back onto the sand. <\/p>\n

Despite currently residing in Canada with her husband, Roch Daigle, and their daughter, Indyanna, 20, Eleniak will guest star on the sequel series, with Shauni now working as a Santa Monica city councilwoman, per Deadline.<\/a><\/p>\n
