EastEnders star Danny Dyer has shown off a tattoo on his hand while recording his podcast with daughter Dani Dyer.

The 43 year old actor appeared on his Instagram stories, while joking around and asking his 1.3 million followers whether they’d rather marry a ten with a bad personality or a six with an amazing personality.

Danny and his daughter, who recently gave birth to a son named Santiago, were playing a game of ‘would you rather’ and Danny lifted his hand up to reveal a tattoo.

The tattoo is in the form of symbols on the star’s hand, but what does it mean?

Well it turns out Danny’s tattoo is actually his name in Thai.

It seems the iconic EastEnders star has had the tattoo for quite some time too, with the star being spotted with the tat as early as 2006.

Dani got the tattoo before they split, but they’re now back together and happy as ever with their newborn.

An infinity tattoo can symbolise romantic love, it can also mean never ending family love for a relative such as Dani's family and her famous father.

The site added: "[Infinity tattoo symbolises] never ending, limitless love. This is not a tattoo that is strictly for lovers. This tattoo signifies that we are all eternal whether we are in physical bodies or not."

Dani also has a very unique symbol on the inside of her right wrist.

Danny Dyer’s daughter appears to have a tiny Leo starsign etched on the opposite side of her infinity tattoo.

The symbol is, of course, a reference to her birthday, which falls on August 8 1996, according to Famousbirthdays.com.

The zodiac sign tattoo is not only a nod to Dani’s birthday but also her personality, as tattoosme.com has stated Leo falls into the Fire category of the Zodiac signs, and indicates a person is “passionate and dynamic”, and perhaps fiery.

Finally, she has a very concealed tattoo underneath her right arm in the form of a heart symbol, which has not been coloured in.
