Brittany Hockley has revealed the surprising issue which has caused her and her Swiss soccer star Benjamin Siegrist to fight.
The Bachelor star, 36, who has been in a long-distance relationship with Benjamin since late 2022, revealed on her Life Uncut podcast this week the pair have been arguing about his choice of tattoos.
Explaining the situation to her co-host Laura Byrne, Brittany said she disagreed with Benjamin’s taste in body art and demanded that he only get tattoos that she likes.
‘He wants to get a tattoo and we have different ideas of what tattoos he should get,’ the brunette explained.
Laura immediately interrupted her, arguing that Benjamin, 32, should ‘get whatever tattoo he wants’ since it’s ‘his body’ that is being altered.

‘No, it’s our body!’ Brittany giggled.
‘He runs his tattoos by me, which is lovely. He’s like, “Look if I’m going to have a giant tattoo on my body for the rest of my life, it would be nice if you liked it”.’
‘We’re trying to find something that we both like,’ she continued, adding: ‘He likes big, dark portraits of stuff and I like very fine line [tattoos].’

Brittany revealed she had successfully convinced her beau to get a delicate star sign inspired ink with a space inside it small enough for writing.
‘I was like, “You could leave [that space] blank for now… you could fill it with really important things that happen in life, like when we get engaged, wink wink. Wedding date. Kids’ dates, whatever”,’ she said.
To her horror, Benjamin flippantly joked he would write the name of the restaurant where he and Brittany first ate nachos.
‘He just started taking the p*ss out of my idea… I just cracked it,’ Brittany recalled.
‘I was like, “I’m not having this conversation with someone so immature,” and he was like, “Babe, just have a laugh,” and I said, “I’m done with this! You don’t care about my feelings!” And I just went into this whole ridiculous argument.’
She revealed the couple had an argument over the phone after Benjamin joked about getting an insignificant detail about their relationship tattooed to himself rather than an important date or milestone
Rather than siding with her gal pal, Laura defended Benjamin by telling her: ‘I don’t think you realise how controversial it is to have a say in your partner’s tattoos.
‘It’s nice that he is conscious enough and cares enough to ask you, but I kind of think that you don’t get a say in your partner’s tattoos.’
Brittany stood firm in her belief, however, adding that the tattoo she has approved for Benjamin so far is the letter ‘B’ for Brittney.
