Carson Daly Says He Covered Up an Ankle Tattoo for an Ex
Carson Daly recalled on Today how he covered up an ankle tattoo he had got for a former girlfriend.
He said he was getting another tattoo in Hell’s Kitchen when he remembered the old one and asked the tattoo artist to do something with it.
The artist turned it into a crab claw coming out of a pocket knife, Daly said.
Daly did not name the former girlfriend, but he has previously said he got the tattoo for Jennifer Love Hewitt, whom he dated for a year in the late 1990s.
In 2005, Hewitt appeared on Daly’s talk show, where he showed her the cover-up.
The story revisits a tattoo tied to their past relationship, but the account gives no indication of any new development between them.
Carson Daly said he had an ankle tattoo for an ex-girlfriend covered up after another woman told him it had to go.
He recalled the story during a recent episode of Today with co-host Jenna Bush Hager.
Daly said the original tattoo was done while he was drunk in Seaside Heights, New Jersey.
He said the cover-up became a crab claw coming out of a pocket knife.
Daly did not name the ex during the episode, but he has previously spoken about getting the tattoo for Jennifer Love Hewitt.

What people are saying
I was drunk in the Jersey Shore
I was in Seaside Heights. I remember like it was yesterday.
Oh my God, I forgot. You gotta just do something with the ex.
The problem is, when you got that tat on the ankle, you didn’t think you were ever going to break up with that girl.
