Stars who regret their tattoos, from Katie Price’s Peter Andre inking to Ariana Grande’s ‘Japanese BBQ finger’ typo
CHLOE Ferry yesterday admitted that she was “embarrassed” by the matching tattoo she and her best friend got during a girls’ trip to Dubai.
Chloe's tattoo says "keep me safe" in a cursive font on her wrist. Her pal's matching tattoo says: "Keep me radging."
Bethan's cheeky ink includes the Newcastle slang "radging" which means horny or sexually aroused.
But the star has since admitted regretting the inking - and she isn’t the only celeb to have tattoo regret.
From Jessica Alba’s ‘tramp stamp’ to Katie Price’s awkward Peter Andre tattoo - we reveal the stars who should think before they ink.
ARIANA GRANDE
Back in 2019 Ariana was playfully mocked for her palm tattoo which she got in celebration of her smash hit 7 Rings going to number one in 16 different countries, including the UK.
A fan account on Twitter was quick to point out that the body art, "七輪", didn't quite translate to the name of her single but rather that the Japanese Kanji translation means "shichirin," which is a small barbecue grill.
The post read: "Ariana Grande's new tattoo '七輪' means Japanese style bbq grill, not 7 rings. If you want to know about 七輪, just google 'SHICHIRIN'".
The American singer, 25, responded to the post and admitted that she left off a number of characters in the translation because "it hurt like f**k" before later deleting the initial Instagram post of her inking.
She wrote: "Indeed, I left out 'つの指' which should have gone in between. It hurt like f*** and still looks tight.
The Thank U, Next singer posted a black and white video of her amended hand tatt on her Instagram Story the following day.
CHARLOTTE CROSBY
Despite being the host of MTV’s Just Tattoo of Us Charlotte doesn’t appear to have learned her lesson when it comes to tatt regret.
In 2018 the Geordie Shore star had laser tattoo removal to get rid of inkings ex Stephen Bear gave her during their relationship.
Charlotte had a fish on her wrist and a large cheetah design on her back chosen for her by Bear on their MTV show, Just Tattoo of Us.
While Bear gave Charlotte the fish inking on her wrist, the reality star had a cross made of two arrows and an M on the back of her arm in honour of another ex, Mitch Jenkins.
KATIE PRICE
Katie Price made the grave mistake of having her ex Peter Andre’s name tattooed on her wrist.
The glamour model had the word ‘Pete’ inked on her wrist with a crown underneath accompanied by their daughter Princess’ name.
However, following their split in 2009 Katie had a cross tattooed over the top of his name.
She has since had the inking covered with a rose.
MEL C
Sporty Spice admitted back in 2012 that she regretted most of her tattoos and would discourage her daughter from getting inked when she was older.
Speaking to Good Housekeeping at the time, she said: “I’d definitely discourage Scarlet from having tattoos.
“I’m looking into getting some of them removed.”
JESSICA ALBA
The actress admitted that the bow shaped inking she got on her lower back when she was 17 “irritated” her.
She previously told the MailOnline: “I do have a few tattoos, and I regret one of them… maybe two…
“I got one when I was, like, 17 and I'm so irritated that I got it. I got it lasered many times and it's not coming out.”
ANGELINA JOLIE
When Angelina was married to Billy Bob Thornton she had several inks.
One was abstract lines drawn on her right arm.
This is now covered up with the Arabic tattoo.
She also had an Asian dragon tattoo with his name above it and had it removed after they broke up.

In an interview during the time of the tattoo removal procedure she said: "I'll never be stupid enough to have a man's name tattooed on me again."
It took 5 visits to the tattoo removal clinic to erase the dragon and you can still see it a bit.
