Kyle Chalmers has made an impressive confession about his tattoos.
The 25-year-old Olympic swimmer revealed in a video that he regrets every tattoo on his body.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, the world record holder said if he could go back in time it would be out of ink.
“I regret them all,” he told the publication.
“If I had my time back I probably wouldn’t have any, but now I’m so deep into it that it’s just an addiction.”

Despite his regrets, Chalmers said he has grown to love them and that there is a “very meaningful” story behind each piece.
The sports star has what he calls numerous “rough” tattoos on his legs, including those of Snoop Dogg, Freddie Mercury, the year of his brother’s birth and the Port Lincoln postcode (5606), where he was born.
His most recent tattoo is of a Port Lincoln tuna, which is also on his leg.

Last year, Kyle was reportedly involved in a “love triangle” with his ex-girlfriend Emma McKeon and his Team Australia colleague Cody Simpson.
Emma and Cody made their relationship official on Instagram in July last year, three months after they started dating in secret.
It was claimed at the time that Kyle blocked Cody’s inclusion in the Australian Dolphins’ ranks for the World Cup in Hungary after he found out about their relationship.

Kyle originally made the decision not to travel to Hungary for the competition, but backed out when his ex’s relationship with Cody became public.
However, he vehemently denied any claims that the move was due to a personal vendetta against the former pop star.
Cody later edged out Kyle when he was placed on the ten-man shortlist for the GQ Athlete of the Year award, while Kyle missed out on the award.
The musician and swimmer hopes to make his Olympic dream come true in Paris in 2024.
