Considering an inking? Jessica Alba has some thoughts on TATS

We'd step over our own mothers – sorry, mam – to look like Jessica Alba, so to hear she's not fully content with her appearance comes as a bit of a shock, if we're honest.

The mum-of-two opened up about her body hang-ups while speaking with Allure for their September issue, and it turns out the Sin City would take back her tats if she could.

The 35-year-old actress and businesswoman, who first got inked at 18, admits she regrets taking the plunge.

"You’re never going to be in the same place emotionally and mentally at 18 that you are at 20 or 25 or 30," she explained.

"Something that's meaningful to you when you're younger is not going to be meaningful to you five years later," Jessica elaborated.

Jessica, who rocks flower tats on her neck and a Sanskrit inking on her wrist, admits they're simply not as important as they once were, saying: "I have a few tattoos. I'm not into them now the way that I was."

And while the star can't do much about the tattoos unless she plans a few laser sessions, she has ensured various other mistakes from her past haven't made it into her present.

A massive fake tan fan back in the day, Jessica no longer opts for an artificial glow, saying: "I remember, it was a trend, and we all used to do it. You put the sticker on to see how dark you got."

"I would never do a tanning bed ever now, " she insisted.

Well, that we can get on board with.
