Nicole Richie has come a long way since her The Simple Life days; the 35-year-old is now a wife, a mother of two, an accomplished fashion designer, and she has zero regrets about her "wild child" past. While Nicole isn't going to apologize for who she is, she does regret a couple of tattoos she got when she was a teenager. Read on to find out which tattoos Nicole refers to as "embarrassing and desperate."
One of Nicole's most prominent tattoos is the pair of angel wings on her shoulder blades.
The fashion designer has a pink bow tattoo on her neck with her last name inked underneath. Nicole has since come to regret the ink, previously telling Into the Gloss, "I was a 19-year-old idiot when I got this tattoo on the back of my neck. You can see it now with the short hair but people aren't asking about it, which is nice."
One of Nicole's first tattoos was an anklet design with a cross on her left foot.
Nicole got a cross tattoo when she was 16. She got it on her lower back because she didn't want her parents to see it.
The mother of two also has the word "Virgin" inscribed on her wrist. In 2014, she called it "embarrassing and desperate," telling E! News, "I am a Virgo so when I was 16 I thought, 'Ooh I'm going to be different and I'm going to put 'virgin,' because the Virgin is the sign for Virgo."
Nicole has a pink shooting star inked on her left wrist.
Nicole has a pair of ballerina slippers inked on her hip in honor of her dad, Lionel Richie's, song "Ballerina Girl," which he wrote for her. She also has a small tiara on her left hip.
