The 40-year-old model had the inking, which features her former spouse's name and the initials of their kids set inside stars, done to commemorate their fourth wedding anniversary but following their 2012 split, she is now having it removed, reported People magazine.
"Heidi is in the process of getting her tattoo removed. She's been through a few treatments. The stars with her children's initials will stay intact," a source said.
Although Klum has been happily dating her bodyguard Martin Kristen since September, she recently insisted she is not interested in marrying again because she has lived that "fairytale" life.
