After marrying former tennis player Ryan Sweeting, Cuoco got the wedding date — December 31, 2013 — tattooed on her back in Roman numerals. Following their split in 2015, she revealed the insect tattoo.
"Note to self- do not mark your body with any future wedding dates," Cuoco captioned an Instagram post that has since been deleted, showing her getting the new tattoo.
Cuoco spoke about covering up the wedding date tattoo during an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in February 2016.
"The tattoo was a mistake," she said. "I had to cover it."
Cuoco added that the numerals were large so, "I had to cover it with the wings, which I think turned out OK."
When asked why she chose a moth instead of a butterfly, the actor joked that "it was big enough to cover the numbers."
