Stacey Solomon shows off hidden tattoo tribute to Joe Swash

Stacey Solomon has given fans a glimpse of her first ever tattoo that's also a tribute to her husband Joe Swash.

The mum-of-five flashed the subtle inking in a photo she posted to Instagram last night. (Saturday) as she rummaged through her handbag. In the photo the tattoo could be seen on the inside of her ring finger, spelling out "Joe" in elongated handwriting.

Stacey captioned the photo: "On the train home and they're all laughing at me because all I have in my bag is two dummies and my phone. Why am I this person?".

The Loose Women favourite, 33, previously asked her 5.6m Instagram followers if she was too old to get her first tattoo, the Mirror Online reports.

In a video she said: “So, Belle and me were having a quiet Friday laying on the sofa and I think I want a tattoo. 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.”

She wants to permanently write the names of all her kids - Belle, two months, Rose, 15 months, and Rex, three, with husband Joe Swash, and sons Zach, 15, and Leighton, nine, from previous relationships - on to her body.

Taking the idea and running with it, Stacey then shared some black and white images of her brother - a professional tattoo artist - helping her decide on placements with some stencil designs.

She told fans: “So my brother is a tattooist and he kept the shop open late tonight so we can have a little stencil session. 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."

Stacey got home from Paris on Friday, and she brought back a niggle with her husband of a year. From the bath, she told fans that it enraged her when Joe says "for you".

She explained: "I don't know why it winds me up so much, but for example it'll be like, I've made dinner for you.

"For me? Just for me? Am I going to eat it all? Or is it for everyone?"

She continued: "I've wiped down the surfaces for you. Oh ok so I'll eat off the clean surface and you can eat off the surface with salmonella. Yeah, because it's just for me.

"I've done a food shop for you. These are fundamental things we all need to survive. Like this is just how we keep our family and children alive. I don't understand why it's all for me?

"Also sometimes I genuinely wonder if I'm reacting wrong because my reaction is often this, 'Thanks' with a little bit of a twitchy eye. When I think what I imagine he's thinking I'll do is be like 'Hooray! Hooray for you!'."
