Reality TV star and former glamour model Katie Price has unveiled her latest body art addition: a tattoo of her own face. The 47-year-old added the striking portrait to her leg, intricately woven into a floral design, bringing her extensive tattoo collection to more than twenty pieces.
A Personal Piece of Art
Katie Price took to social media to share the new inking, which features a recognisable depiction of her visage. She expressed her delight with the artwork, writing enthusiastically: 'I absolutely love it!! Now that is what you call a piece of ART!' This revelation comes just days after she spent a mammoth six-hour session at a tattoo parlour to acquire a large floral design on her bottom, a piece that echoes the famous rose tattoo of pop star Cheryl.
The recent bum tattoo left Katie in significant pain, with the star admitting the process was agonising. She shared on Snapchat that her 'bum is so painful' and that she felt her 'body was done' after the lengthy procedure. Last year, she made a major commitment to body art by having her entire back covered with a pair of angel wings.
A History of Meaningful and Covered-Up Ink
Katie Price's tattoo journey is marked by both tributes and transformations. She has a history of inking names of past partners, including ex-husband Peter Andre and ex-fiancé Leandro Penna, both of which she has since had covered up with new designs. When her marriage to Andre broke down in 2009, she famously put a giant X over his name. Her current collection includes a variety of meaningful symbols.
Notable tattoos in her collection include:
- A crown for her 18-year-old daughter, Princess.
- A garter design on her thigh.
- A rose used to cover up ex-husband Peter Andre's name.
- A portrait of ex-partner Carl Woods on her arm.
- Red hearts and stars on her wrist for sons Harvey, 23, and Junior, 20.
- A bow on her hip symbolising loved ones 'tied together'.
- The initials H and J on the back of her neck.
Other pieces include a pony and ribbon on her ankle, additional bow tattoos, a crown and microphone representing 'self worth', a heartbeat on her right wrist, and a heart with wings on her left wrist.
Podcast Remarks on Maura Higgins
This tattoo reveal follows Katie making a pointed remark about the infamous kiss between Love Island star Maura Higgins and McFly's Danny Jones. Speaking on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, she praised Maura, 35, as 'the most beautiful woman in the UK' but hit back at claims she is obsessed with her.
'I am not obsessed with anything or anyone,' Katie stated. 'Am I not allowed to say another woman is stunning? I look nothing like Maura Higgins, if I was obsessed with her I'd have smaller boobs, I'd stop having tattoos.' When her co-host and sister Sophie teased, 'But would you kiss Danny Jones?', Katie swiftly replied, 'No thank you,' before moving the conversation on. Danny Jones's marriage was rocked by the illicit kiss with his I'm A Celebrity campmate earlier this year.
Katie Price continues to document her life and transformations openly, with her ever-expanding tattoo collection serving as a very public and personal canvas of her experiences, relationships, and self-expression.
