Kerry Katona has become a regular at a tattoo parlour here in Kent.
And recently, she's brought her 18-year-old daughter Lilly-Sue McFadden to her favourite tattoo parlour Black & Even in Tunbridge Wells.
The 40-year-old celebrity was the winner of the third I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2004, and the runner-up in Celebrity Big Brother in 2011.
“They are so much fun. The pair of them are just a barrel of laughs and they are just lovely people,” Steve Legg, owner of the Upper Grosvenor Road venue, told KentOnline.
“Lilly was, obviously, a bit nervous but she smashed it. She was great.
“Kerry has done quite a few talks on TV about her tattoos recently, so it seems she is a big fan of them.
“They are just lovely, down-to-earth people.”
Mr Legg, 37, says Kerry first came in just before the first coronavirus lockdown last year and the work tattoo artist Joey Savastano did on both the women on May 27 was merely his latest work with Kerry.
“Kerry comes in quite often at the moment. It started when she had her ex-husband’s initials removed because she is getting re-married,” said Mr Legg.
“So we did a nice, little, hand piece for her.
“Joey did a memorial for her auntie Angela who passed away and then Lily, her daughter, got her first tattoo.”
Lilly-Sue went for a design featuring a small collection of flowers on the side of her ribcage with text underneath which reads "no rain, no flowers".
Kerry, meanwhile, had more work done on an angel on her forearm in tribute to her aunt Angela who died this year.
Mr Legg says business is booming for Black & Even after a tough year.
He said: “It is insanely busy. I don’t think we have got an hour free until about October at the moment.
“But it is a blessing to be able to open the doors again."
In 2019, Kerry popped into Larkfield to visit Beautiques Beauty Therapy.
Kerry had Lilly-Sue with her first husband, former Westlife star Brian McFadden.
