Does Tom Sandoval Still Have His Bacon Butt Tattoo for Ariana Madix? We Have an Answer
Both Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz got tattoos in honor of their exes on Vanderpump Rules, but do they still have them after their splits?
Many a Bravoleb have declared their love with a tattoo, and Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval of Vanderpump Rules are no exception. But going into Season 11 with their exes, Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix, are the Toms still hanging on to their ink?
The There's Something About Her ladies are spilling the tea at BravoCon 2023.
Does Tom Sandoval still have his bacon "A" tattoo on his butt?
In short? Yes, Sandoval still has the bacon butt tattoo. Read on for an explanation.
Below Deck stews Daisy Kelliher, Fraser Olender and Aesha Scott were quizzed on Vanderpump Rules trivia during the "Stews vs. SUR" live interview at BravoCon 2023. But when asked, “Whose initials does Tom Schwartz have tattooed on his butt?" the stews got the answer wrong.
"LVP" Katie clarified about Lisa Vanderpump's initials, prompting more of an explanation as to how the tattoo came about.
"He lost a game of ping pong and he had to get 'LVP.' He was playing her," Katie shared with the group.
Schwartz, as fans may recall, lost the match back in 2021 during Season 9 of Vanderpump Rules. “I’ve never not followed through on a bet in my life, and I feel like I don’t want to start now,” he said on the show when he got to the tattoo parlor. “It’s good to feel the pain so I learn my lesson.”
At BravoCon, Scheana Shay noted that today, Schwartz still has "'Bubba' and 'LVP' on his ass." (Schwartz got the "Bubba" tattoo on his right butt cheek in honor of his then-girlfriend, Katie, while vacationing in Las Vegas in 2015. "Bubba" is a well-known term of endearment between the couple, who tied the knot in 2016 before separating in March 2022.)
"Sandoval’s initials are next to be tattooed on his ass, but he hasn’t gotten around to it yet," Scheana added of Schwartz.
Katie then confirmed that Schwartz still has the "Bubba" tattoo, prompting Ariana to admit Sandoval also still has his infamous "bacon" tattoo in honor of her, despite all that happened between them.
In case you need a refresher on that piece of ink, it was inspired by Ariana. More specifically, Sandoval once decided to get a tattoo of the letter "A" on his butt, but, he didn't want just an ordinary "A," so he opted for a tattoo that featured a bacon-based rendition of his love's first initial. He even wrote a song about it.
