Charlotte Crosby is no stranger to tattoo parlours, having hosted Just Tattoo of Us in 2017. However, her most recent inking is something really unique.
The 33-year-old has a delicate new tattoo in celebration of both her daughter and her much-loved “nana.”
Charlotte gave birth to Alba in October 2022, and named her after her late grandmother, who died only weeks before their bundle of joy came.
She even persuaded husband and baby daddy Jake Ankers to get his first tattoo, with both getting ‘Alba Jean’ engraved on their forearm – but Charlotte’s ink has a twist.
The TV personality revealed that her version of their matching tattoos was created using ink including her grandmother’s ashes.
Cremated ashes are typically safe to use in ink since the cremation process removes microorganisms and the ashes have no effect on the healing process.
Sharing a series of snaps of their fresh ink on Instagram, Charlotte wrote: ‘✨Alba Jean✨ Privileged to have @callyjoart do yet another tattoo of mine and even more buzzing I persuaded Jake to get his 1st ever one 🖊️.
‘This tattoo means more than anything in the world our precious daughters name the light of our life and our absolute world 🌎.’
Jake and Charlotte revealed their pregnancy in April 2022, one year after making their relationship public.
Charlotte’s documentary on their lives following the birth showed that the former Geordie Shore star was dealing with the death of her grandmother as well as the cancer diagnosis of her mother.
‘As you all know I called Alba after my beloved nana, my little nana jean. So missed and so loved by so many,’ continued the mum.
‘I wanted to do something very special to me so In the “jean” part of my tattoo are my nanas ashes 🥲❤️ a tribute to my beautiful nana, i way to feel close to her forever. Until I see her again ❤️👵🏻’
Charlotte values family so much that she recently urged supporters to pray for her relatives in Rhodes, Greece, where flames are burning over the island.
As fear spread on the little island, her mother, father, and younger brother were all urged to leave their hotel.
Other artwork from the Just Tattoo of Us presenter includes flowers, hearts, and geometric forms.
She has had a few lasered, including a fish for ex-Stephen Bear and the letter ‘M’ for Mitch Jenkins.
While she may dislike some of her previous tattoos, her new one is one for the ages – no need for the laser this time.
