Katie Price has just shown off her biggest tattoo yet — an enormous design that stretches across one side of her b.u.m. She revealed that the piece is only half finished, as she plans to mirror it on the other cheek to form a heart shape

Katie Price has shown off her latest – and boldest – body art, revealing an enormous new tattoo that covers one side of her bum. The 45-year-old star shared the outline on social media and admitted the inking is only half finished, because she plans to mirror the design on the other cheek to form a heart.

Posting behind-the-scenes footage from the tattoo bed, Katie held up the stencil and explained that the semicircle of flowers “is going on my bum cheek, and then turned around to make a heart shape.” She laughed that the piece may not look massive to everyone, but “for me it is quite a big piece… it will take ages, that is gonna hurt. Big piece with a small little bum.”

Katie added she’d slathered numbing cream on the area — “the same that gets put on my lips” — but wasn’t convinced whether it was actually working or just a placebo. In another clip, she filmed herself lying face-down, saying she was “trying to motivate myself to get this finished,” adding: “I’m done, and I’m just using every bit of ‘come on Kate, come on Kate’ to get this done, and my body is done.”

The TV personality, famous for her ever-growing tattoo collection, already sports inkings ranging from a unicorn across her stomach to a thong design on her lower back. She also has a portrait of her daughter Princess on her calf, and once had a tattoo of ex-fiancé Carl Woods — later covered up. Several other designs hide tributes to past relationships, including a pony on her ankle covering the name of ex Leandro Penna, and a rose and crown concealing a dedication to Peter Andre.

Katie’s biggest tattoo to date was done in Koh Samui in 2020: a huge floral sleeve that took three hours and cost her £180. But with her new heart-shaped bum tattoo only halfway completed, the star told fans: “I’m gonna love it. I’m a work in progress with my tattoos.”
