Joe Locke, who became recognizable for his role in the series Heartstopper, surprised his Instagram followers with a fresh batch of summer photos. In the final frame of the carousel, the 22-year-old actor revealed a new tattoo – a small, outlined drawing of a duck, done under his arm. The caption accompanying the selection is concise and humorous: “Summer with friends, fun, and a duck tattoo in Ibiza.” It is this light, almost diary-like tone that has become a hallmark of his social media presence in recent months.

When a celebrity gets a tattoo, it’s almost always a reason for discussion online. But when young children are involved in the process, literally drawing what will later be inked into the skin, the story goes beyond a typical post. This is exactly what happened with Ronan Keating and his son Jack Keating: father and son had a home “tattoo day” and invited a tattoo artist right into their house. Ronan, who has been collecting tattoos for a long time, was bolder than usual this time – he handed over part of the sketch to his children Cooper and Coco. The result was tear-jerkingly touching.
