Khloé Kardashian reveals awkward reason she had tattoo tribute to her late dad removed
A comment from her man made her realize something
Khloé Kardashian had a tattoo in tribute to her late father removed after making an awkward realization about it.
The reality TV star's dad, Robert Kardashian, died aged 59 on September 30 2003 after a battle with esophageal cancer.
Khloé was 19 years old when he passed away, while her siblings Kourtney, Kim, and Rob were 24, 22, and 16 years old, respectively.
Attorney Robert was best known for his connection to one of the most publicized criminal trials in US history, the 1995 O.J. Simpson murder trial.

Robert was a close friend of the former NFL and served on the defense team when Simpson was charged with murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
He was ultimately found not guilty.
In Robert's memory, Khloé had what's known as a 'tramp stamp' tattoo on her lower back.
As she explains on her Khloe in Wonderland podcast: "It was the trend at the time. And I got a cross with angel wings and it says 'Daddy over it.'"
But a comment from a man made her rethink it.
"It was not supposed to be a sexual situation," she added.
"It was supposed to be in honor of my dad, but being that it's a stamp...
"I remember a guy was like, 'Who's your daddy?' And I'm like, 'Ew.'"
She concluded: "And then I was like, 'He's not wrong.'
"Like it just all clicked to me. So that's being removed, but for good reason."
Khloé has previously spoken out on the impact of her father's death.,
As Geo News reports, she said she was 'incredibly angry' for about three years after Robert died, and that she avoided talking about him because it made her break down emotionally.
She explained that being encouraged - even reluctantly - to talk about him on Keeping Up With the Kardashians helped her release that anger and grief.
And on a previous Khloé in Wonderland podcast epsiode, the now 41-year-old shared that she felt guilt for not spending more time with her dad before he died, and that this guilt turned into misplaced anger toward him for not telling her the illness was terminal. Over time she came to terms with that and found peace.
