Lauren Goodger reveals how daughter Lorena’s ashes were used for new tattoo after showing off unique tribute
LAUREN Goodger has revealed her touching new tattoo tribute for late baby daughter Lorena was made using her child's ashes.
The former Towie star's second child was born last month with her umbilical cord tied around her neck.
Devastated Lauren revealed yesterday how she has honoured her memory by getting Lorena's name inked on her forearm along with a butterfly.
And today Lauren, 35, explained more about the inking and how it makes her feel closer to Lorena.
"So my Lorena tattoo has been tattooed with her ashes," she wrote on instagram. It's something special. Her ashes are now tattooed in me forever."
Lauren added: "Everyday I got through my list that is full of things that I have to do either for my babies, my home, my future, for my Larose and my angel baby. This was one on my list that was on my mind everyday and I'm so glad it's done."

The tattoo was done shortly after Lauren shared a cryptic post about having "no support" after suffering a "horrific" few weeks.
The star has had to stay strong for eldest daughter Larose, one, but it hasn't been easy.
Lauren's ex-boyfriend Charles Drury, 25, was arrested and later bailed after allegedly assaulting her on the day of their daughter's funeral.
The 35-year-old, who has been pictured with a black eye in recent days, suffered further heartache when ex boyfriend Jake McLean died in a car crash in Turkey. She attended his funeral on Tuesday.

Yesterday the reality star shared her torment on Instagram.
She wrote: "No support was all the motivation I needed."
Lauren previously broke her silence on the awful time she has going through, writing: "Just want to say thank you to everyone for all the love & support in this horrendous terrible whirlwind in my life the last few weeks! I do read your messages thank you.
"During this traumatic time I've lost but I've also gained some values in this awful heartbroken time … some new friends and become closer to my current ones & some family ..it really has shown me who is meant to be in my life and I love each and every one one of you thank you .. I only have a few and that's all I need and it's taught me some life long lessons however hard it's been.
"Asked Lorena when I had her at home the night before her funeral ‘please guide me please let my life, lead the path it's meant to be & give me strength & courage’ and a lot changed instantly and I trust her.
"She is making my new path thank you Lorena I love you and I know you’re with me always and I know you've cleared out and made way for what's meant to be."
Lauren admitted she has felt lost in recent weeks, as she reflected on how her experiences have changed her.
"I don't know why I have no answers but I have to trust the process," she said.
