Overview

• In Hamburg, tattoo artist Marco Apfler spent two hours in early July covering Blanco’s “Patricia & Andreas” arm ink with a phoenix design.
• Blanco said the original love tattoo felt like “a malignant growth” after her breakup with businessman Andreas Ellermann in early 2023.
• Their four-year relationship ended amid a weeks-long public battle over a Porsche, a riding horse and living rights in Ellermann’s villa.
• She chose the phoenix motif as a symbol of rebirth, signaling the end of a painful chapter and the start of a new phase.
• Blanco reports feeling revived and independent, enjoying life and dating again as she closes one chapter and begins another.
