Olivia Attwood gets secret matching tattoo cover-up on inking her mum ‘hated’ after bitter fall out
OLIVIA Attwood has had one of her tattoos reworked – having previously admitted that her mother hated it.
Back in the summer of 2024, the reality star got a matching tattoo with her stylist, while the pair visited Ibiza.
The pair, however, have since had a very public falling out, and it seems Olivia has gone to great lengths to erase all traces of him from her life.
At the time, stylist Ryan Kay proudly showed off the matching red cherries that had been inked on his arm and on the side of Olivia’s torso.
He posted a snap of the former friends together and captioned the shot: “Matching for life now!”
It would seem, however, that’s not the case.
Olivia also shared snaps at the time and wrote in the caption under the photos: “I got a tattoo yesterday and my mums not a fan!”
She shared screengrabs of a message from her mum, who asked her to “just stop now”, saying “its gone way too far… give me a break!”
Mrs Attwood also said she wished Olivia had asked for the inking to be somewhere her parents wouldn’t have to look at.
Olivia’s mum will no doubt be delighted to know that the cherries have now been covered up.
In a post to Instagram by a tattooist named Jesus, Olivia is seen showing the side of her body, with a red cross in the place of the cherries.
The design features a rose, entwined around the cross.
Last September Olivia broke her silence about the feud between her and her former best friend – and explained what really happened.
The former Love Island star revealed the reason on social media during a Q&A with fans.
One asked “What happened with your mate?” referring to Ryan, who was also Olivia’s assistant.
She responded: “I am just very hurt if I’m honest. Prior to what you might have read.
“I had to respect myself and enjoy a line. It was something that played out over a few months.
“And I guess I hadn’t seen things that I should of… I think? “
She continued: “I give everything (in every sense of the word) to friendships and don’t let very many people in so it suckkkkks.
“It’s not something I can really explain on a story but I will at some point?”
Shortly after this, she took a huge swipe at an “attention-seeking” friend, not specifying who she was talking about but referring to them as a “tick”.
“We all know this person who can’t keep a job, they can’t keep a friend, they have no long-term friends that they can keep for more than a year,” she said on TikTok. “But it’s never their fault – they’re always the victim.
“You watch the cycle play out and you can now see the people who were before you and see your part in the cycle.”
The star went on: “I always think that with these kinds of people, they don’t move on to new friends, but instead they move on to new hosts.
“They’re like a tick – a tick has to be attached to you and drink your blood – and it has to have a host body.
“So, once it leaves your body it’s going to go and host on another body.”
Olivia has also had a very public divorce from ex-husband Bradley Dack.
The two split at the start of 2026, having been together since 2015 and getting married in June 2023.
