Actress Kaley Cuoco of the hit CBS sitcom “The Big Bang Theory” split from her husband, tennis pro Ryan Sweeting, back in September after less than two years of marriage — but the marriage left an imprint on her in the form of a tattoo on her back featuring the couple’s wedding date, Dec. 31, 2013, in Roman numerals.
So Cuoco decided to get a new tattoo to cover up the old one. Today reports that the actress took care of that business this week at a tattoo shop in Studio City, Calif. She documented the event on social media, including sending out an Instagram post with a picture of herself in the tattoo chair — along with the message “Note to self – do not mark your body with any future wedding dates.”
A photo of the new tattoo, a giant moth, later also appeared on Instagram. (See below.)
The actress sent out a message “explaining” the moth tattoo, writing: “The deep, meaningful, larger than life meaning behind this beautiful piece of ink, is….. It covered the last one.”

I have often pondered some tattoos, wedding dates would be one of them. Marriage is in my opinion a lifetime commitment and if I need a permanent reminder of my commitment, I would have it some place where I see it as opposed to someplace where my spouse sees it. Who is this message actually for? More importantly, the permanent reminder should be the spouse, not a tattoo. My spouse and I have been married for over 35 years and we don’t need tattoos to demonstrate our commitment, the years together do that.
