Ink-compatible! The SEVEN celebs who've had a tattoo of an ex-lover removed as Love Island star Adam Collard get ex-girlfriend's initials covered

Love was far from everlasting for a bunch of celebs who had tattoo tributes to an ex-partner removed after their relationships turned sour.

Love Island star Adam Collard, 28, is the latest famous face hoping for a fresh start after he began laser-removal treatment to erase the the initials of an ex-girlfriend from his wrist.

Adam decided to make the change just months after announcing his new relationship with TV presenter Laura Woods.

But it's not just British celebrities - US A-listers Pete Davidson, Kylie Jenner and Amber Rose are among the others that have gone under the laser beams.

The TV hunk is having a blacked-out triangle on his wrist lasered off. 

The spot was once home to the initials 'CP' in tribute to fellow Geordie Claudia Proctor, who he was dating before entering the Love Island villa in 2017.

Fans have hinted the Celebs Go Dating star could be wiping clear that very special spot for the initials of his new girlfriend Laura, months after he declared the TNT Sports host to be 'the one'.

Adam began the treatment at London tattoo removal studio NAAMA earlier this month.

The studio claims that just over a quarter of their clients seek their services after finding new love, with less citing relationship breakdown as a reason - here are some more celebs who regret their undying gestures of devotion.

Peter Andre and Katie Price

During her marriage to Peter Andre, in 2007, Katie Price, 38, had 'Pete' tattooed on her wrist with floating hearts above their daughter's name, Princess, and a crown

Peter Andre had former lover Katie Price's name inked onto his ring finger ahead of their glam 2005 wedding.

While their marriage lasted four years, the pop star turned TV personality previously said he has no plans to have it removed.

However, this changed only a year later, with Andre opting for laser-removal treatment after his ex-wife married cage-fighter Alex Reid.

And in 2007, two years before they said 'I do,' Katie Price had 'Pete' inked onto her wrist beneath a pair of hearts.

After their famous split in 2009, she opted to have a black cross tattooed across his name.

Laurence Fox and Billie Piper

In 2007, Laurence Fox and Billie Piper had matching tattoos of the date of their marriage plus 'Mr Fox' or 'Mrs Fox'

But after the couple split in 2016, Laurence had his tattoo covered over with a huge fox, while the Doctor Who actress later had her lasered off

In 2007, Laurence Fox and Billie Piper had matching tattoos of the date of their marriage plus 'Mr Fox' or 'Mrs Fox'.

Billie brandished 'Mr Fox 31-12-07' across her forearm, meanwhile Laurence had 'Mrs Fox 31-12-07' inked.

But after the couple split in 2016, Laurence had his tattoo covered over with a huge fox, while the Doctor Who actress later had her lasered off.

Although, it may not have been too heartbreaking of a decision, as in 2010 Billie said: 'It's disgusting. We were in Mexico and both so drunk. I think we both regret it now.

'The thing is, I just look at it and think, "God that's vulgar'. I don't know what I am going to do about it.'

Pete Davidson; Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande

Possibly the biggest offender for having a partner's name tattooed on then removed is Pete Davidson, who's had a slew of famous exes, notably Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande

Before and after: Pete had Kim's first name branded on his chest just months into their fling

Before and after: Pete had the initials KNSCP (Kim, North, Saint, Chicago, Psalm) on his other collarbone and an infinity sign with Jasmine and Aladdin, a reference to their first kiss on SNL

Before and after: Pete, who is famous for being in the cast of Saturday Night Live, got the original bunny ears tattoo this June 2018, as a tribute to his ex's 2016 album Dangerous Woman

Possibly the biggest offender for having a partner's name tattooed on then removed is Pete Davidson, who's had a slew of famous exes, notably Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande.

During the nine months he was romantically involved with Kim, the comedian quickly got meaningful ink to symbolise their relationship.

The Saturday Night Live star had the words 'My girl is a lawyer' tattoed on his chest, in reference to Kim passing the bar in 2021, and the letters 'KNSCP' representing her children's initials on his collarbone.

Months after their split, Davidson was spotted shirtless on a beach vacation, but his Kardashian-inspired tattoos had mysteriously vanished.

One week before his split from fiancée Ariana Grande, Davidson changed up the Playboy-inspired bunny ears mask that the songstress wore on the cover of her Dangerous Woman album on the left side of his neck.

He replaced it with a large heart and a small lowercase 'a' next to the design, perhaps to signal that the tattoo change was not because of a falling-out with Grande, but an amicable parting. 

Kylie Jenner and Tyga

Throwback: Her ink originally read: 't,' when she got it in 2016 as a nod to her then-boyfriend Tyga (left), but she had it altered after they broke up early in 2017

Kylie Jenner famously has an ankle tattoo which was covered up following her breakup with rapper Tyga. 

Where there was once a lowercase 't' the reality star replaced it with a lowercase 'la.' 

A subtle but a simple way of removing the memory of her ex from her body.

The cover up pays homage to her home city in California.

Tyga also had a tattoo dedicated to Kylie - her name was inked onto his right forearm and was first noticed by fans in April 2015.

Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas

Actress Melanie Griffith had the name of her Hollywood A-lister husband, Antonio Banderas, tattooed in a heart on her upper arm after their 1996 marriage

When the actress stepped out at a Film Festival last year she was sporting a new tattoo crossword-style tattoo featuring the names of her four children

Actress Melanie Griffith had the name of her Hollywood A-lister husband, Antonio Banderas, tattooed in a heart on her upper arm after their 1996 marriage.

But the Working Girl star began removal treatment in 2014, when she filed for divorce.

When the actress stepped out at a Film Festival last year she was sporting a new tattoo crossword-style tattoo featuring the names of her four children.

Now, instead of the heart shaped reminder which was once etched onto her skin, she has the names of her children Alexander, Stella, Dakota, and Jesse jotted onto her arm. 

Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa 

Following Amber Rose's highly-publicised split from rapper Wiz Khalifa in 2014, she altered a tattooed tribute to him on her arm

Amber Rose has a long history of getting tattoos associated with her love life. She recently got rid of her Wiz Khalifa portrait, swapping it for a tat of famed Guns n' Roses guitarist Slash

Following Amber Rose's highly-publicised split from rapper Wiz Khalifa in 2014, she altered a tattooed tribute to him on her arm. 

The portrait of the model's famous ex now appears to be a tribute to be legendary Guns n' Roses guitarist Slash.

Previously, she covered up Wiz, real name Cameron Jibril Thomaz, with roses.

The pair were married for just over a year and share a son together, Sebastian, four.

Amber also has tattoos of animals, flowers, a tube of lipstick, a marijuana leaf and other designs.
