The former American Idol judge had debuted the tattoo in a video from his base in Sydney, Australia, just a month earlier in March.

Sporting a dark blue blazer jacket with black lining rolled up around his forearms, the new tattoo was sure to stand out.

Two of Keith’s tattoos on the same arm are dedicated to his wife Nicole Kidman, including the tribal-style bracelet with the initials ‘NMK’ for ‘Nicole Mary Kidman’.

He also has a more intricate design on his right bicep which is an elaborate heart-shaped crest with a banner in the center reading ‘Nicole’.

Keith also has a tribal-style phoenix tattoo on his left forearm, a sun on his chest, an eagle on his right shoulder blade, a tribal design on his left bicep and the word ‘love’ on his left shoulder blade.

Keith and Nicole met at a G’Day LA event in Los Angeles in January 2005, before marrying in Manly, Sydney in May 2006.

Nicole and Keith share daughters Sunday Rose, 12, and Faith Margaret, 10.

The Hollywood actress was previously married to actor Tom Cruise from 1990 until 2001. They adopted daughter Isabella, now 28, and son Connor, now 26.
