Earlier this month, the "Selling Sunset" star shared on Instagram that she'd gotten a tattoo on her lower hip that reads "Yes sir, Mr. El Moussa," a reference to her fiancé, "Flip or Flop" star Tarek El Moussa.
The post sparked concern among fans, who reportedly felt it was a reference to Young, 33, being subservient to her beau, according to E! News. The star ultimately deleted the post, but she later shared a behind-the-scenes video of her preparation before getting inked.
