RTE star Jennifer Zamperelli getting tattoo she 'regrets wholeheartedly' removed

RTE star Jennifer Zamparelli is lasering off her arm tattoo which she “regrets wholeheartedly”.

In January last year, the Dancing With The Stars host told listeners how getting the Chinese symbol was her biggest mistake.

Speaking on her 2FM show, Jennifer said: “I don’t mind where they are. What they are is a problem.

“Like I’m in the process of getting a tattoo removed while getting a tattoo today with my friend. One of them is moving away. We had this mad idea. We’re having a mid-life crisis.

“I don’t know what’s going on but we’re going to get tattoos today anyway, right.

“It’s not where it is. It’s what it is. I can’t have a Chinese symbol on my arm at 40 years of age.”

But when asked to explain what her new tattoo would be, she declined to talk about it on air.

Speaking last year on her radio show, the Home Advantage host said: “Don’t talk to me about tattoos. I have a Chinese symbol on my arm so I can’t talk to anybody and I regret it wholeheartedly.”

The mum-of-two said she had kept it for so long because she had heard getting it lasered off her body would be painful.

She added: “It’s extremely sore, no tattoo is the new tattoo.”

But she admitted previously she would love to get matching inkings with her husband Lau.

She said: “I have been trying to get [Lau] to get a tattoo, I want to get tattoo wedding rings because we never wear our rings.”
