Tammy Hembrow’s fiancé, Matt Zukowski, was forced to remove a tattoo of his ex-partner’s name less than a month before their wedding.
The Love Island Australia star, 29, will marry the 30-year-old fitness influencer in Byron Bay in November.
Last week, Matt visited a tattoo removal shop to get ink off his butt that said the name of one of his ex-girlfriends.
In the clip, he is seen entering a pharmacy to buy numbing cream before the procedure.
“Come with me to remove some laser tattoos,” he captioned his post.
In April 2022, Matt got his ex’s name ‘Gen’ tattooed inside a love heart on his butt about two months into their relationship.
The former reality TV star split from his ex Genevieve in January 2023, after almost a year of dating.
Speaking about the tattoo on his podcast Where’s Your Head?, Matt revealed that the idea of getting the tattoo was very spontaneous.

“We were sitting around having a couple of drinks… and we said, ‘let’s do this,'” he said.
“I was a little nervous, she was a little nervous… we were tossing around ideas about what we wanted.
“And this may seem even crazier, it was already two months into our relationship.”
It comes after his future wife Tammy’s bachelorette party ended in tears over the weekend.
The influencer, who was hosting a joint hen and hen party with fiancé Matt, was seen wiping away tears outside The Star before being driven in a white Maserati to a private Palm Beach residence.

A source revealed to Daily Mail Australia what really happened and it looks like there’s trouble in paradise for the glamorous couple.
The source confirmed that the drama began earlier that day when Tammy and Matt had an emotional confrontation outside the venue.
“Tammy was visibly upset and Matt was trying to comfort her, but it was clear she didn’t want his affection,” the source told Daily Mail Australia.
“They had a heated argument before Tammy turned her back on him and walked away.”
Reports suggest it stems from weeks of tension over a prenuptial agreement that Tammy had asked Matt to sign.
“This has been brewing for a long time,” the source revealed.
It all started when Tammy mentioned the prenup. They have since unfollowed and refollowed each other on social media several times, and there is speculation that the wedding might not happen at all.
Despite the tension, the couple went ahead with their respective pre-wedding celebrations.
Matt, dressed in a black and white prisoner costume, joined his mates for a session of Top Golf, while Tammy stayed at her Broadbeach Waters home, where a glam team spent the morning getting her ready for her big day.
She donned a daring custom-made white babydoll dress, looking every inch the bride-to-be.
However, despite her glamorous appearance, it was clear that all was not well behind the scenes.
It comes after Tammy’s tearful hens party over the weekend.
“You would think this would be one of the happiest days of Tammy’s life, but it’s clear the relationship has hit some bumps along the way,” the source said.
Once glamorously dressed, Tammy was taken to the Palm Beach property, a massive $3.6 million mansion on Parnki Parade, rented by her sister Emilee and co-hosted by her best friend, Isabella Laws.
The guests, unaware of the earlier drama, cheered Tammy when she arrived. The house, known for its Instagram-worthy aesthetic, was decorated for the occasion, with a sign outside reading: “Let’s drink, dine and dance.”
However, it seems that the evening was not as peaceful as planned.
The hen party had been in the works for weeks, with high-end venues like Rick Shores and Laluna Beach Club considered, but ultimately, the Instagrammable house was chosen as the ideal location for the intimate celebration.

Notably absent from the guest list were some of Tammy’s famous acquaintances, and the event was primarily attended by her longtime school friends.
As the night progressed, there was talk that the party would transform into a ‘Hucks’ event, where Tammy and Matt would come together for a joint celebration.
However, given previous tensions, some guests were unsure whether the plan would actually go ahead.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Tammy and Matt for comment.
