Adam Levine 'done' with tattoos
The Maroon 5 singer has extensive body art but admitted his last session, a refresh on his left arm sleeve, was likely to be his last because he has "softened" more as he's got older.
Describing the process of getting inked as "fun" but "painful", he told Today.com: 'I covered up my sleeve with another sleeve. Who does that? What is wrong with me? Psychotic.
"It really hurt. I'm kind of done with the pain, I've decided … now, I've softened.
"Now, when I get a tattoo, I'm like, 'This hurts so badly.' Like, 'What's wrong?' We're done."
The 46-year-old star also admitted he is "running out of room" on his body for more tattoos and he always "promised" he wouldn't get his face inked.
The Moves Like Jagger hitmaker - who has three children with wife Behati Prinsloo - finds it hard to pick out a favourite inking.
He said: "No, there's too many. It's too overwhelming...
"I like them all."
But he ultimately concluded he likes his hand tattoos, which feature the words 'true love' spelled out across eight of his fingers.
However, back in 2013, Adam insisted he wouldn't get any body art on his hands because they are "sacred".
He told People magazine: "I don't do below the waist. You can't do the hands, that's sacred too, that's what you make things with, I'm tied to my hands. I just can't do hands."
And the Sugar singer's first ever tattoo was a dove on his left bicep.
He said: "I was 21. It was five days after 9/11. I felt this need to say something with this peaceful thing on my body."
Adam recently spoke of why he agreed to return for season 27 of The Voice after departing his role as a coach during season 16.
He told reporters: "I honestly feel like the stars aligned.
'It was one of those moments where we started talking about it and it felt right... and it hadn't felt right until now.'
Adam, who had spent nearly nine years on the show, admitted he needed a break from the relentless schedule that came with the job.
He said: 'Doing it for so long, so consistently... you can definitely start to get burnt.
'I started to feel like I was kind of getting away from things that matter to me the most, like making music and playing music.'

International superstar singer Richard Marx to perform at 2025 Logies alongside Guy Sebastian
International superstar singer Richard Marx has been confirmed as one of the musical guests performing at the 65th TV WEEK Logie Awards on Sunday. The Grammy-winning American pop star will appear as a mentor on this year's season of The Voice. He will perform a medley of his greatest hits, alongside homegrown star Guy Sebastian, who will perform his new song, Get It Done. 'Australians have always been huge supporters of my music and have brought their passion and infectious energy to my live shows across the decades,' Marx said in a statement. 'It is a privilege to be performing at Aussie TV's biggest night of celebrations. I can't wait to deliver something special for those at home and in the room.' Joining the pair, and previously announced as a musical guest, is Aussie music icon Jimmy Barnes, who will also perform on the night. They join confirmed presenters, including Kitty Flanagan, Hamish Blake, Sophie Monk, Tom Gleeson, Ricki-Lee, Poh Ling Yeow and Ray Martin, and a host of other big names, who will be on hand to present the awards. The ceremony will once again be hosted by beloved comedian Sam Pang, who has helmed the show twice previously to widespread acclaim. Marx, who has been down under for several months filming The Voice, is a singer-songwriter best known for his musical ballads Right Here Waiting and Hazard — both songs reached number one in Australia. Marx has written fourteen number one hits across multiple genres – pop, rock, country, and R&B – and is one of only two artists (alongside Michael Jackson) to have scored a number one single in four different decades since his musical debut in 1987. The 65th TV WEEK Logie Awards will screen Sunday August 3 from 7pm on Seven and 7Plus.

Regina King pays heartfelt tribute to ex Malcolm-Jamal Warner
Regina King says Malcolm-Jamal Warner left a "lasting imprint" on her life. The 54-year-old actress previously dated the late Cosby Show star - who died over the weekend aged 54 after getting caught by a rip current - from 2011 until 2013, and she has paid a heartfelt tribute to her former flame. Alongside a photo of her ex on a motorcycle, she wrote on her Instagram Story: "Some people leave a lasting imprint, not just for who they were but for the energy they carried. "I'm sending prayers filled with love and understanding to your family and loved ones. 'Rest easy Malcolm-Jamal Warner.' Warner died in a drowning incident near Cocles, a beach in Limon, Costa Rica over the weekend. He was in the water with his daughter - whose name has not been made public - when the incident occurred. Police have told ABC News that surfers attempted to save Malcolm and his daughter after the pair were spotted struggling against the current. A surfer was able to save the Suits star's daughter by returning her to safety on his surfboard whilst Malcolm was pulled back to a shore by a volunteer lifeguard and another surfer. The actor - who was best known for his role as Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show - was given 45 minutes of CPR but was pronounced dead at the scene. Malcolm's official cause of death has been declared as "asphyxation by submersion". The Caribbean Guard had revealed that there was no lifeguard on duty at the time when the tragic accident took place as they had "allocated resources" elsewhere due to "recent water incidents" at two beaches nearby. Tributes to Malcolm have poured in from across the showbiz world, including his 9-1-1 co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt. She wrote on social media: "This hurts my heart. A gentleman, an incredible talent and we were so lucky to have him in the 9-1-1 family. Heartbroken and sending love to his family." Comedian Sherri Shepherd said: "To know Malcolm was to know a renaissance man that possessed humour, grace, humility and deep cultural appreciation. He was just a good guy! "His passing is a true loss to the Hollywood community. He was a proud girl dad and loved his daughter so much. To his family, friends and all who loved him - my heart is with you."
