We’ve seen some interesting beauty looks on Married At First Sight over the years.

From Martha’s face mask to Troy’s intense tooth-brushing, the brides and grooms pride themselves on looking after themselves, albeit in roundabout ways.

But one thing that the majority of contestants have in plenty, regardless of the season, are tattoos, and this year’s cast is no exception.

Whether it’s a delicate quote or a full-on sleeve, both the brides and grooms from this season have showed off their impressive ink, whether it’s on the show or on their Instagram accounts.

Some have sweet dedications to their family whilst others have some major regrets stuck to their skin, and we can’t look away.

There are only a handful of contestants without any tattoos this year, so let’s take a look at that ones that do in detail.

Keep scrolling for an in-depth look at this year’s MAFS tattoos.

Tash hand

She’s been described as the love child of David Bowie and a vampire, so it makes sense to have one of her “parents” tattooed on her hand.

Tash hands

On her hands, she has the words ‘star’ and ‘dust’ inked on, presumably as a reference to the David Bowie’s alter ego, Ziggy Stardust.

Tash foot

And on her foot, she has a tattoo that reads ‘Daddy’s Girl’ due to her close bond with her father.
