Lottie Moss has vowed to have her face tattoo removed four months after drunkenly getting the word ‘Lover’ inked under her eye.
The OnlyFans star, 25, who previously hoped ‘the world would learn to love the tattoo’ has told close friends she is having a laser tattoo removed and hopes erasing the ink will mark the start of a new chapter in her life will mark.
Model Lottie confessed that she woke up with the Lover tattoo after a drunken night in December and warned her next: “Don’t drink alcohol kids!”
She later defended the ink, explaining that it was her way of expressing herself after years of “being so controlled” and it represented the fact that she is “free” now.
However, Lottie has since told her friends that in hindsight the tattoo, which appears just below her eye, signifies a negative time in her life and now that she is clean and sober and looking to the future, she wants to remove all traces of the ‘lover’ . inks.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Lottie plans to have a laser tattoo removed.
She fully embraced her lover ink, but now she just wants it gone and covers it up with makeup for events and photo shoots.
“For her now it means a time in her life when she wasn’t so strong, but since then she has started a new chapter and wants the tattoo, which reminds of a dark time, to be removed for good.”
Lottie, the half-sister of supermodel Kate Moss, had the tattoo done while on holiday in Bali.
Despite admitting it was a spontaneous decision, she said the word “Lover” symbolized the time she spent reconnecting with herself and growing into the person she is.
Last night, the influencer attended the launch of PrettyLittleThing’s showroom in London, covering her face tattoo in foundation.
On the way to the event, Lottie, who wore a white sundress and leather jacket, said on Instagram: “When I want to go for a more upscale vibe, I cover up my face tattoo and dress like a little house on the prairie. like butter wouldn’t melt, like she’s so innocent and that she never got a face tattoo in Bali after two drinks…”
Lottie has been open about her battle with drug addiction in recent years, sharing with her fanbase that she spent time in a rehab clinic, later saying it was the best decision she’d ever made for her mental health.

After being scouted in the modeling industry at the age of 13, the star described her life as a “crazy whirlwind” and admitted that she has always lived in sister Kate’s shadow.
Writing for Glamor magazine in December, Lottie explained the difficulties she faced as a young model. She said officers criticized her body shape, height and dress sense for not being considered “stylish” enough.
She said, “When the pressures of the industry became unbearable, I fell into a deep depression. I didn’t want to show up for work; I could not do it. And I was blamed.
“Other girls would die to be in your position,” my agents would tell me. “You are so ungrateful.” I wanted to scream. Somewhere along the way I completely lost myself and had a nervous breakdown.’
Since leaving the Storm modeling agency, Lottie has focused her work on OnlyFans, where she says she feels “safe” because she can control and curate her own content.
She added, “For me it was about finding something where I could finally be myself and not only feel comfortable – which I haven’t had at work for so long – but feel empowered.”
