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."

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."
