Back when Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon were the hottest of celebrity couples, both spouses got tattoos with the other's name.
Now, however, the 45-year-old singer appears to have left her 34-year-old ex's name behind while keeping her ink intact.
That lower-back butterfly tattoo was visible on Sunday in Paris, France when Mariah stepped out with her four-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan.

Close-up images of the pink-and-orange butterfly showed the insect's body composed of twisted black lines.
But back when Mariah first got the tattoo, the name 'Nick Cannon' was written out in black ink to create that same body.
At some point since her marriage went south, Mariah must have gotten an update to the basic design.
Changes: A lifted shirt revealed Mariah's butterfly tattoo, which had been altered since her split with husband Nick Cannon
Before: Back in 2008 at the Teen Choice Awards, a sighting of the tattoo showed Nick's name standing in for the body of the butterfly
Free agent: At some point since she and Nick separated, Mariah altered her tattoo to create a more standard butterfly body
Both sides: Nick also had a Mariah tattoo he needed to alter - he has said that more than 30 hours of work was needed to create a new design
Elaborate: Instead of just covering the old tattoo (left in 2009), Nick got his entire back covered with a religious design (right in March)
Family time: Along with Mariah were her two children, both of whom were dressed as casually as their mother
She would not be alone in this - in March, Nick confirmed to TMZ that he had spent 30 hours getting an elaborate crucifixion-themed tattoo on his back to hide Mariah's name.
Married in 2008, Mariah and Nick separated in 2014.
Mariah kept things casual on her Paris visit, wearing a low-cut black shirt with matching, tight trousers that emphasized the Visions Of Love singer's curves.
Dressed down: A low-cut black shirt and fitted black trousers were Mariah's clothes of choice
Keeping it simple: Her hair loose, Mariah kept her adornments to a minimum - black heels, silver hoop earrings, and sunglasses
Ongoing theme: Mariah wore a butterfly-shaped ring, a nice match for her tattoo
Open-toed black heels, black-rimmed sunglasses, and silver hoop earrings completed Mariah's look.
The twins stuck to similarly casual looks, with Moroccan sporting a navy shirt and khaki trousers and Monroe opting for a white blouse with jeans.
In New York City as recently as the day before, Mariah's laid-back appearance may have been a necessary recovery from travel and jet-lag.
Keeping busy: In addition to her normal work, Mariah has been performing in her Las Vegas residency show
Jet-setter: Just a day before her Paris appearance, Mariah had been spotted in New York City
