Tattoos can be a permanent reminder of the person you love. They can also be a permanent reminder of a crazy night out you can’t remember, an ex you’d rather forget, or even just the power of careful copy-editing. These 25 celebrities have opened up about having to rethink their ink for a variety of reasons. Whether they no longer relate to an image they loved when they were young, split from someone who inspired a name tattoo somewhere intimate or realized (too late!) that there was a typo, see why celebrities including Christina Hall, Megan Fox, Olivia Wilde and Blake Shelton have had tattoo regrets.
Christina Hall
A wedding ring inked around her left hand’s ring finger, in honor of her marriage to Joshua Hall — which ended in July 2024, nearly three years after they tied the knot. She didn’t like it, so she took the ring off it. On Aug. 26, after a few weeks of social media hints about the status of their relationship, the HGTV star posted a video depicting the tattoo removal process. “Thank you to my friends @jonathanzelkenmd for always taking care of me,” she wrote.
Megan Fox
The word “Brian” written in elaborate script on her pelvis in tribute to ex-husband Brian Austin Green, two whom she was married from 2010 to 2021. The Status: Inked over with a serpentine and floral design that incorporates cosmic elements. “Was able to completely hide the old tattoo underneath the new snake and flowers she wanted,” wrote artist Jesse Krydick on the reveal photo. “Thanks for your trust @meganfox.”
