Love Island’s Alex Bowen strips off and reveals he wants to be tattooed from ‘head to toe’
The hunk admitted he wants to be covered in designs - yet his lovers' inking with girlfriend Olivia isn't his favourite
HUNKY Alex Bowen whipped off his top to flash his huge range of tattoos before he revealed his lifetime aim is to be COVERED in inkings "from head to toe."
The Love Island star has chosen to adorn his muscular body with everything from a lion's head to inspirational text etched on his chest and, most recently, a sweet hand tattoo matching that of his girlfriend Olivia Walsh.
After stripping for a video ahead of his stint at , he said: "I'm absolutely crazy about tattoos and I love my ink.
"I hope one day to get covered from head to toe."
Later on he emphasised his passion for decking himself out with colourful designs and added: "I literally want to get covered from head to toe.
"I can't wait to complete the journey of my tattoos."
Alex's most recent inking paid a cute tribute to his Love Island co-star and now girlfriend, Olivia.
The loved-up pair have revealed K and Q inkings on their arms – which are done in the style of the playing cards symbols for King and Queen.
Olivia posted the pic, writing beside it “#hisandhers”
Since getting together just two months ago on ITV2’s Love Island, they have already moved in together.
Talking of putting their love in permanent design form he said: "Olivia, my girlfriend she has got Queen of Hearts so its like King and Queen.
"It's like a little his and hers tattoo."
Yet he confessed his latest addition might be sentimental, but it isn't his favourite.
The tiger's head on his hand takes the special spot in his life, and he confessed he hadn't told his mum about it before heading to the tattoo parlour.
Alex said: "When I was on Love Island and my mum found out I did have the hand tattoo of the lion
the last week the parents came in, and she came in and saw my tattoo, and the first thing she did was grab my hand and say 'what have you done that for'?"
He added his most painful design was a clock emblazoned with the time and date he was born.
