Kate Beckinsale unveils new tattoo dedicated to late stepfather amid health scare

Kate Beckinsale has fresh ink.

The “Jolt” actress, 50, took to Instagram over the weekend to share a new tattoo on her arm dedicated to her late stepfather, Roy Battersby, who died in January.

The design, which was done by West Hollywood tattoo artist Endry Stymest, features a handwritten message addressed to “My KB” next to a sketch of a bird and signed by Roy.

While she didn’t go into detail about the note’s content or the significance of the peacock design, the post comes just six days after the star remembered her late father, Richard Beckinsale, who passed away when she was just five years old, on the anniversary of his death.

“Oh.the day you died comes round so suddenly even when I’m expecting it . This is my first year without any father figure at all for a long long time,” she wrote in a lengthy Instagram post.

She concluded, “How I miss you . How familiar this falling through an abyss . How horribly like home falling with no one to catch you feels . I hope your energies have met. I’m so grateful to have had your love . I feel it , like an echo. X”

It’s also an emotional time for the “Serendipity” actress, who revealed she was hospitalized on March 11 and has yet to disclose what ailment she is battling, though she posted tearful photos from her hospital bed.

The mom of one is no stranger to tattoos; she also recently got a portrait of her late cat, Clive, inked on the same arm last year after the feline passed away in June.

She shared an image of the tribute piece on Instagram in August, writing “This has really helped” in the caption.
