your favourites celebs with tatoos of their lovers

David Beckham

The former English footballer traded vows with Victoria Beckham, formerly Posh Spice of the Spice Girls, in 1999. He has had a generous amount of tattoos inked onto his body, so it only makes sense he would devote one—or two—to his lovely wife. The first piece he got was a pin-up style portrait of her on his forearm. The second? That would be her name, inked on the back of his hand for all to see.

Zayn Malik

Zayn Malik, of the famed boy band One Direction, is a youngster who has fallen victim to expressing his love on his skin. Former Little Mix girl group member Perrie Edwards and Malik became engaged in 2013, but he had already jumped the gun by getting ink inspired by his love for her. It is a simple illustration of Edwards in her commonly worn knitted cap, and he had it placed on his right arm.

DID YOU KNOW?

Typically, black and darker colored inks can be removed more thoroughly with laser tattoo removal.

Amber Rose

Rose is a successful model, actress, and singer who chose to show commitment to rapper Wiz Khalifa with permanent ink. The two married in the summer of 2013, and Amber sported the tat she received earlier that year on her special day. The piece is quite large on her left arm, and consists of a portrait of Khalifa's face.

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey has been faithfully committed to her music career since before the 1990 release of her first studio album, and she faithfully committed herself to Nick Cannon at their 2008 wedding ceremony. To seal the deal, she had his name inked on her lower back—right next to a butterfly, which is a symbol that has been prevalent throughout her lengthy career.

Nick Cannon

Marriage requires equality, which is why Cannon's tattoo tribute to Mariah Carey is to be expected. While she has a dainty inscription of his name at the base of her back, he has an expansive piece which stretches across his shoulders. It features her first name in humungous letters, ones that he wanted to cement on his body and in his life forever.

Ewan McGregor

McGregor, the famed Scottish actor, tied the knot with French production designer Eve Mavraks back in 1995. He chose to have his heart on his sleeve when he was inked with a heart and dagger on his right arm. Inside the heart is Eve's name, sandwiched in between the names of two of their four daughters.

Heidi Klum

The hugely famous model is a good example of commitment tattoos gone awry. Although her piece is a beautifully designed tattoo which cleverly spells out a name, it is no longer applicable to her life. Located on her arm, the pretty squiggle is the name of ex-husband Seal. Their marriage lasted from 2005 until their split in 2012. With this chapter of her life behind her, Klum has received laser removal treatments to make the tattoo less noticeable.

Kobe Bryant

It is quite possible Kobe Bryant has regretted his decorative tattoo of Vanessa Laine's name on his arm once or twice. The two tied the knot in the beginning of 2001. After being married for over a decade, Vanessa filed for a divorce in 2011. It is a good thing he held off on laser removal, because the couple decided to call the divorce off shortly after. Based on their wishy-washy past, only time will tell if getting inked in the name of love was in Bryant's best interest.

Keith Urban

Country star Keith Urban married gorgeous Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman in 2006. The Australian couple have raised quite the happy family together, making a tattoo tribute to his lover a safe bet in his eyes. The piece he chose peeks out of his commonly worn, casual t-shirts, and it features Nicole's name.

Halle Berry

The stunning Halle Berry fell head over heels for baseball player Dave Justice, whom she traded lifetime promises with in 1992. Where did the Hollywood actress decide to declare her love in ink for her husband? The piece is on her rear, and says "David Justice." Maybe the placement had something to do with her feelings for him, as they dramatically split in 1997.
