Screen hunk Colin Farrell has opted to keep a tattoo of his ex-wife AMELIA WARNER's name on his finger - even though their relationship failed long ago.

The TIGERLANDS star and Warner wed in July 2001, with their union dissolving in November of that year. And while Farrell accepts his relationship with the British actress is over, he refuses to etch her name out of his flesh.

He says, "I'd sooner skip laser treatment and all that and just keep it. It's part of me past.

"But, you know, if I fall in love and it's a problem for someone, or I ever do get married again - God forbid - I'll have a look at getting rid of it."
