What were they inking?

As former TOWIE star Dan Osborne reveals his latest tattoo, Closer takes a look at the other celebs who go above and beyond to pay tribute to a loved one

DAN OSBORNE

Dan recently unveiled a tattoo of his two kids – son Teddy, four, from his relationship with Megan Tomlin, and Ella, two, with actress wife Jacqueline Jossa, who’s pregnant with their second child. Dan, 26, who also has their names inked on his rib cage as well as a “J” for Jacqueline, shared a picture of his tattoo on Instagram, writing, “HUGE thank you to @davidcorden for tattooing my babies on my leg. Sooo happy with it.”

KIERAN HAYLER

Their marriage has been rocky since his affairs with two of Jordan’s pals came to light in 2014 – but Kieran Hayler showed his loyalty and love for his wife in 2016 when he got a tattoo of her, with angel wings, on his calf. Kieran, 30 – who was also said to have had an affair with the family’s nanny, Nikki Brown last year, though she denied the claim – said of Jordan, “She’s helped me through my troubles. I wanted to show her that I think she’s an angel... It’s like she’s always looking over me.”

CHARLOTTE CROSBY

Former couple Charlotte Crosby and Stephen Bear co-presented Just Tattoo Of Us last year – but she saw red when she let Bear choose a tattoo for her. He picked a halfcheetah, half-bear for her lower back, reportedly alluding to rumours she’d cheated on him with her ex, Ash Harrison. When she saw it, she hurled a bin at Bear and broke down in tears.

HOLLY HAGAN

Geordie Shore star Holly, 25, agreed to get a secret inking selected by her then-boyfriend Kyle Christie, 25, for Just Tattoo Of Us. To her horror, he chose a giant sketch of his face for the back of her neck. She later yelled, “I hate it. I’m getting it removed.” The pair have since split and Holly has had eight laser removal sessions to erase it.

LIAM PAYNE

Fans went wild when they noticed a familiar feature printed on Liam Payne’s arm last year. The star, 24, later confirmed it was his girlfriend Cheryl’s eye. Liam said it was his favourite tattoo because it reminded him that Cheryl, 34, is always watching over him. He said, “Having my missus’ eye on me is a nice thing because I like to know that she’s always got her eye on me, and I’ve always got my eye on her.”

DAVID BECKHAM

He’s a well-known fan of body art – and David Beckham melted hearts in 2015 when he got a tattoo of then four-year-old daughter Harper’s sketch of herself on his palm. Proud mum Victoria posted a pic of David’s hand and the cute doodle on Instagram, captioned, “Harper is a true little artist”.
