Kelly Ripa got her only tattoo while she was at her first appearance for the daytime soap opera ''All My Children''. She got a red heart with red rose above it and black flourishing through the heart. "I had two hours to kill," she explained. "I got it when I was 19 from a tattoo artist named Snapper . . . and it's a symbol of my stupidity!" Although the tattoo clearly doesn't mean much to Ripa, both the heart and the rose traditionally symbolize love and romance.
