Bitter exes are sharing the hilarious ways they’ve covered up tattoo tributes to doomed relationships

IT might seem like a good idea at the time, but a relationship tattoo can turn into a rather unsavoury reminder when things turn sour.

Earlier this week we told how Stephen Bear had his half-heart inking removed a year after getting it done with then-girlfriend Jemma Lucy.

Now bitter exes are sharing the hilarious ways they’ve covered up tattoo tributes to doomed love affairs.

One covered up an etching of their ex by turning it into a gorilla, while another transformed their former lover’s face into a demon.

Some were less inventive, simply crossing out their name and, in some cases, replacing it with another.

While one bloke turned his tribute to ex Lauren into the Polo Ralph Lauren symbol.

Today we told how a Mike Tyson fan, 18, was scarred after a £9 temporary tattoo turned into a blistered burn.

Earlier this week we reported how a jobseeker was turned down for a job at Costco after a manager spotted a TATTOO on her wrist.
