She wrote in her caption: ‘How come when I post a bikini pic it’s all like ‘yuck your tattoo’ ‘plastic’ and the rest. 

‘Then others do and it’s like saint Mary. I can’t [with] you people lol,’ she added. 

In a YouTube video in April last year, Stacey revealed that she got the eye-catching tattoo as a tribute to her late brother.

Oh no: ‘Then others do and it’s like saint Mary. I can’t [with] you people lol,’ she added

‘My stomach tattoo is very sentimental. When my brother died, I was pregnant with my firstborn. So after he was born I got a tribute on my stomach,’ she explained.

She confessed people will often ask her about the intricate tattoo, even though she tries to ‘hide’ it. 

The tattoo features a geometric design, with her brother’s name scrawled in the middle, above the words ‘forever young’.

Stacey added that she’s self-conscious about the tattoo because it’s so deeply personal, and admitted she tries to keep it covered up.

‘I may or may not post a close-up one day, but it’s very sentimental to me. Even with bikinis, I’ll wear a one-piece or put a sarong over it,’ she added at the time. 

Stacey is a single mum to two young sons, Kosta, six, and Kruz, four.
