Charlotte Crosby is finally bidding farewell to her tattoos by ex-boyfriend Stephen Bear.
The former ‘Geordie Shore’ star has started laser removal surgery to get the half bear-half cheetah – which he carved into her as a tribute to himself because she got with him while in a relationship with someone else – on her back lasered off, as well as the basic fish her drew on her wrist, because she wants nothing more to do with the hunk following their messy split over a year ago.
Charlotte took to her Instagram Story on Wednesday (09.01.19) to share a video of her sitting in a surgeon’s chair having the unwanted inkings removed permanently.
Alongside a boomerang of her having her arm tattoo removed, she wrote: "goodbye".
In a video, she said: "I am about to get, for the very first time, my tattoo on my back lasered … I am ready."
Bear inked the tattoos on Charlotte for MTV show ‘Just Tattoo Of Us’.
A source previously said: "Charlotte is erasing the tattoos she had while she was with Stephen. Having them lasered off is like her closing a door on that chapter of her life. It’s really positive for her. She’s having the fish design, which he gave her on ‘Just Tattoo Of Us’, removed and the awful cheetah one she hates. Bear gave her that tattoo because he said she cheated on her ex Ash Harrison with him. It’s vile and she wants it gone forever. This year is all about Charlotte and she’s determined to leave bad news Bear behind her for good!"
And it’s not just the tattoos Bear gave her that she wants taken off her body, as she also decided to get the inking she had dedicated to her ex-boyfriend Mitch Jenkins lasered off the back of her arm.
Bear, 28, begged her to get back with him after he took responsibility for the demise of their 11-month relationship in December 2017.
Speaking a year ago, he wrote: "Dear Charlotte , I really messed up , if I can rewind the clock back maybe I wouldn’t of done the things I did and say. Life’s about making mistakes . I’ve just been really sad recently and I need to get it off my chest . I no being with me isn’t easy and I will probably send you insane in the end and I really do care and still love you . It might be too late but all I can do is try. The New Years coming up and I would love to spend the rest of my life with you.(sic)"
But he later told his followers she had shunned his attempts to get back together.
