Khloe Kardashian's Love Tattoo

Khloe Kardashian and her new husband have had matching tattoos.

The 25-year-old socialite and Los Angeles Lakers basketball star Lamar Odom - who she married last month following a whirlwind romance - made the spontaneous decision to permanently mark their love for one another during a romantic dinner in Los Angeles on Saturday (24.10.09).

Khloe revealed on Twitter: "Lamar and I were eating at Sunset Plaza and I just said, 'Let's go to Tattoo Mania! I want a tattoo!'"

The couple swiftly finished their meal and headed off to have each other's initials tattooed on their hands at Los Angeles' Tattoo Mania.

Their tattooist, Dirk Vanderlinden, told Us Weekly magazine: "They were very sweet with each other - definitely typical newlyweds.

"They were really happy with how their tattoos turned out."

Khloe - who also has tattoos commemorating her late father Robert - and Lamar are both delighted with their new body art.

Khloe said: "I'm definitely a believer in tattoos as long as they are thoughtful and have significant meaning, which all of mine do."

A friend of Lamar said: "It was important for him to commemorate his new wife."
