Jesse's lovestruck tattoo

Jesse Metcalfe has reportedly been sporting a tattoo which features a naked image of girlfriend Nadine Coyle.

The Desperate Housewives star opted for a picture of a bare-breasted woman lassoing a heart, with the backdrop of a rising sun in the shape of Ireland.

Nadine and Jesse broke up after rumours suggested he was unfaithful, but the pair recently reunited.

"It's not that I'm not over the break-up, it's just that I really wanted to remember what it felt like to be in that relationship so that I never really go there again," he said on US television.

"I chose to get that tattoo, especially with the heart on the arm, because I choose to wear my heart on my sleeve."

Jesse's next role is in a cross-cultural romantic comedy called The Other End of the Line, which will begin filming this autumn in Mumbai.
