Stacey Solomon reveals first tattoo design with link to her children
Stacey offered fans a sneak peak of the design
Stacey Solomon gave fans a sneak peek at her first tattoo, before going ahead with the design. The 33-year-old took to Instagram to share a black and white video of a stencil being applied to her back.
A tattooist, who is also Stacey's brother, can be seen to peel off the stencil to reveal the name 'Zachary' - the name of Stacey's 15-year-old son, who is the eldest of her five children. Stacey told her fans that she hasn't had the tattoo done just yet, and was practising with the stencil to see what it would look like.
Stacey wrote: 'So my brother is a tattooist and he kept the shop open late tonight so we can have a little stencil session. I can't believe I'm actually doing it. So excited.
Hinting at when she is getting the tattoo done for real, Stacey added: 'Just a little play around tonight while the kids are in bed then we can go for it when I'm back from Paris.'
Stacey previously shared that she is heading to Paris for a job as she returns to work after having her daughter Belle, who is two months old. Stacey is also mum to Zachary, 15, Leighton, 11, Rex, 3, and Rose, 18 months.
Stacey met her husband, Joe Swash, after winning I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! in 2010. The pair married in July 2022 and have three children together.
