Kelsey Grammer was strongly opposed to tattoos before getting his wife's name inked on his stomach, according to reports.

The 57-year-old former 'Cheers' star got a tattoo of Kayte Walsh's first name on his waistline over the weekend - despite his previous hatred for body art, which is said to have been so strong that he warned children Mason, 10, and Jude, seven, from his previous marriage to Camille Grammer, there would be hell to pay if they ever got one themselves.

A source said: ''Kelsey has always disliked tattoos and has thought getting one was low-class.

''Kelsey has implicitly told Mason and Jude he would disown them if they ever got tattoos, even as adults. It certainly makes Kelsey look like a hypocrite because he had such strong feelings regarding tattoos.''

The actor and 32-year-old Kayte - who are currently expecting twins - called in to a tattoo parlour in Chicago on Saturday (14.04.12), where customers said Kelsey's adoration was clear for all to see.

An eyewitness told RadarOnline.com: ''Kelsey was so enamoured with his wife - it was all about her.

''Kelsey was awesome and didn't seem too bothered by the pain. He was also super polite and friendly to everyone in the shop.''
