Stacey Solomon fears she's having a 'midlife crisis' after unveiling first ever tattoo

Stacey Solomon has shared a glimpse at her first-ever tattoo as she joked she was going through a midlife crisis.

The BBC Sort Your Life Out star couldn't contain her excitement as she had a "play around" with tattoo designs in honour of her kids. Stacey, 33, shares baby Belle, Rose, one, and Rex, three, with her husband Joe Swash and is proud mum to Zachary, 14, and Leighton, 10, from previous relationships.

The Loose Women star has debated about getting a tattoo for a little while now, as she gushed that she was "so excited" over the decision. Sharing a video from a studio on Monday, Stacey explained that her brother - who works as a tattoo artist - will be helping her with the designs.

The mother of five says she will be getting the permanent etching done after she returns from her upcoming holiday, as she is just sampling stencil placements to see what she likes. Posting to her Instagram Stories, Stacey shared a black and white video where her brother could be seen placing the minimalist design on her shoulder blade.

Stacey wrote over the footage: "So my brother is a tattooist and he kept the shop open late tonight so we can have a little stencil session."

The former X Factor star continued: "I can’t believe I’m actually doing it. So excited. Just a little play around tonight while the kids are in bed then we can go for it when I’m back from Paris."

Earlier this month, Stacey joked she was "having a midlife crisis" as she debated getting her first tattoo in her thirties. Sharing a video on Instagram cuddling baby Belle, she said: "So Belle and me were having a quiet Friday laying on the sofa and I think I want a tattoo."

She added: "Am I having a midlife crisis or is it my hormones? Is it weird to get a tattoo in your thirties? I think I really want one, I've never had one before."

Stacey went onto ask her fans if they have ever had a tattoo "later on in life" and revealed she's thinking about getting all of her children's names inked onto her body in Hebrew.
