Beyoncé is having tattoo removed?

Beyoncé appears to be having a tattoo she got in honour of her and husband Jay Z's wedding date removed from her ring finger.

The 'XO' hitmaker got the Roman Numerals 'IV' inked on her left ring finger to symbolize her and her husband's wedding date, April 4, 2008, as well as their birthdays (his is December 4, while hers is September 4), but sparked speculation she has been undergoing laser treatment to fade the romantic body art after she was spotted with a pink scar on the spot at a basketball game in New York on Saturday (10.05.14).

The 32-year-old star, who has two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy with the rapper, also posted a picture of herself on Instagram a few weeks ago with a small bandage over the area where the tattoo was located. Footage emerged earlier this week of Beyoncé's younger Solange Knowles throwing kicks and punches at Jay, 44, in an elevator at the Standard Hotel in New York after attending a Met Gala after party on May 5. Beyoncé was also present but remained passive throughout the altercation.

The trio have yet to comment on the dispute, but the 'Drunk in Love' hitmaker hinted on Wednesday (14.05.14) that she is standing by her sister, 29, and shared four snaps of them in happier times in the space of half an hour on her Instagram account. The flood of photographs came just 24 hours after it was reported Solange had deleted all pictures of herself and Beyoncé, bar one, from her own profile on the social media website.
