Gemma Atkinson has discussed why she isn\u2019t keen for her children to have tattoos, despite her husband Gorka Marquez being \u201ccovered\u201d in them.<\/p>\n
The 38-year-old recently got candid regarding the \u201ctough\u201d parenting call she and the Strictly 2023 star may have to make in the distant future.<\/p>\n
Opening up about tattoos on her new podcast, The Overshare with Gemma Atkinson, the host said: \u201cIt\u2019s not a fear, but because Gorka\u2019s covered, I say to him if there\u2019s ever a time where Mia or [Thiago] says \u2018can I have a tattoo?\u2019 I will say absolutely not.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I\u2019ve had all of mine lasered off – I\u2019ve got one on my neck that I left just because I can\u2019t see it, it doesn\u2019t bother me.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, Gemma went on to say that when her children are 18, she may not be able to \u201csay no to them\u201d because \u201ctheir dad is covered\u201d.<\/p>\n

When it\u2019s physically there to see. They can say \u2018well you\u2019ve done it!\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s going to be tough, isn\u2019t it for anyone who\u2019s desperately trying to not have their kids do the same as them?\u201d<\/p>\n Elsewhere during the podcast episode, titled \u2018Bodies – why we love them, why we loathe them – Gemma revealed that Gorka, 33, opted to get the majority of his back tattooed so that he could cover up another piece of ink.<\/p>\n While discussing laser tattoo removal, the mum-of-two admitted: \u201cGorka, when we first met, had his own name tattooed on his back.

Which, when I saw it, I said \u2018That\u2019s awful\u2019 and he was like \u2018Oh, I know, I hate it\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cSo he had it covered and he\u2019s got now his full back tattooed and he said covering over the old ink was really, really painful.\u201d<\/p>\n The actor then went on to advise listeners who want to get rid of ink to opt for laser removal, rather than go for a cover-up.<\/p>\n \u201cA tattoo on an old tattoo is going to be painful anyway. So rather than just cover it up and potentially mess it up – just get it lasered, because it does really work.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gorka is currently dancing on the 21st series of Strictly Come Dancing alongside partner and BBC Asian Network presenter Nikita Kanda.<\/p>\n On Saturday (30 September) the duo are due to perform a Charleston to Beyonce\u2019s \u2018Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)\u2019.<\/p>\n
