Pregnant Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Shows Off Large Back Tattoo, Reveals 'Meanings' Behind New Ink

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard is showing off her recent tattoos!

On Thursday, July 25, the famed victim of Munchausen by proxy, 32, shared a clip featuring some of her latest ink which she had got done earlier this year, before learning she was expecting her first baby with boyfriend Ken Urker, 31.

Setting the video to Jordin Sparks' "Tattoo," Blanchard showcased her large back tattoo, seemingly inspired by a phoenix, at the start of a TikTok video, which she also shared on Instagram.

The Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup star then showed followers a tattoo she'd had inked on her forearm inspired by the Buddhist and Hindu symbol Unalome, which is known for representing a path to freedom, as suggested in a diagram shared by Blanchard.

She also gave fans a glimpse of the matching husky dog tattoos she'd got with Urker.

Blanchard made sure to tag her cousin, Bobby Pitre, and his Louisiana store Sailor Bob's Tattoo Parlor, where the pair got the tattoos done. Blanchard also tagged artist Nadiya Vizier, who did the inkings, in her post.

"Tattoo meanings," she captioned the clip, adding, "DISCLOSURE All tattoos were done BEFORE pregnancy."

In April, Pitre told PEOPLE in a text that Blanchard and Urker got the matching dog tattoos to represent "a symbol for their strong bond."

Vizier added at the time that Urker's ink was on his left forearm, while Blanchard's was on her right forearm. She said that when the pair put their arms together, the dogs faced each other.

"They were happy and excited," Vizier said of the tattoos. Later in April, part of Blanchard's back tattoo was also seen in images first obtained by TMZ showing her and Urker holding hands and cuddling at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

The tattoos unveiling comes after Blanchard shared that she was going to be a mom in a YouTube video titled "I'm Pregnant, My Journey So Far" on Tuesday, July 9.

"I know the rumors have been flying around for quite some time now," she explained, adding, "and I'm happy to announce that I am 11 weeks pregnant."

"Ken and I are expecting our very first child come January of 2025," she continued, insisting, "This was not planned at all, it was completely unexpected, but we're both very excited to take on this new journey of parenthood."

Blanchard was in a relationship with Urker, who first started as a pen pal, while she was serving time in prison for her role in the killing of her mother, Dee Dee Dee Blanchard.

Urker proposed in 2018, but their relationship then ended years prior to her Dec. 2023 prison release. At the time of her release, Blanchard was married to ex Ryan Scott Anderson, whom she wed while she was in prison.

Blanchard announced she and Anderson had separated in March, three months after she was released from Chillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri after serving more than eight years in prison for plotting to murder her mom with her then-boyfriend Nicholas "Nick" Godejohn.
