John Stones is removing the tattoo of his childhood sweetheart from his arm after they split up
A source told The Sun in 2019: “John has been having a lot of work on his Millie tattoo for the past year or so.
“He’s trying to have it erased because as far as he is concerned, there is no going back between them.
“Millie is in the past and he doesn’t want a reminder of her every time he looks down at his arm.”
Laser tattoo removal uses high-intensity light beams to break down tattoo pigment into smaller particles, which are then absorbed and eliminated by the body’s immune system.
The process involves multiple sessions spaced weeks apart to fade the tattoo gradually.
Norman Rimmington portrait on left thigh
On his left thigh, Stones proudly displays a portrait of Norman Rimmington.
Norman Rimmington, affectionately known as ‘Mr. Barnsley,’ was a legendary figure in the history of Barnsley Football Club.

After retiring as a player, Rimmington continued his association with Barnsley FC as a coach.
Furthermore, on his left thigh, Stones displays two additional portraits encircled by roses.
