GOLDEN Bachelor star Gerry Turner has shared the story behind his lion's head tattoo during a new interview.
Gerry joined Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos for an interview on Live about The Golden Bachelor and a number of other topics.
One of the topics broached during the interview was the lion's head tattoo shoulder it was recently revealed that Gerry had.
"We heard about this tattoo, Gerry," Mark, 52, began.
"No, the tattoo was revealed," Kelly, 53, corrected her husband as they spoke to the Golden Bachelor star.
"What's the symbolism behind it?" the pair asked Gerry.

The 72-year-old explained: "It's a lion's head on my right shoulder. There was a point in time where I was thinking about taking on more responsibility in business and so forth."
He recalled a motivational saying about being a lion and a gazelle and being faster than the other.
The TV star summed up the saying, explaining that the core idea was "it doesn't matter if you're a lion or a gazelle, you'd better be running."
Gerry added: "That was something that I really believed in at the time, and when I saw that poster, I thought that was the perfect tattoo."

"I just fell in love with Gerry," Mark joked.
"I'm in love with you," Mark explained to Kelly, then added: "but I'm in love with Gerry."
An amused Kelly asked: "Can you be in love with two people at the same time?"
"I don't know!" Mark said, grinning.
GIVING THEM KELL
In the same episode, Kelly called out fans' lame behavior during a daily segment on Live.
She told the crowd that she doesn't care about certain excuses.
The crowd joined in as she said: "It's time for Stump Mark!"
The introduction of the game played and the audience cheered.
Right before Mark was about to start the game, Kelly held up her finger as she sipped her drink.
"I'm assuming you're all tired from the extra hour of sleep and the marathon, because that Stump Mark was very lame," she said.
Kelly made the Live audience do it again and this time they shouted even louder.
"That's better," she mouthed.
"The upper deck came with it this time," Mark said.
"They did. They brought it," Kelly responded as Mark began the game.
ACT A-LIVE!
This is not the first time Kelly has called the audience lame for their lack of enthusiasm.
Last month, Kelly and Mark played their game again and Kelly didn't like how the crowd responded.
"Alright, you all know what time it is. It's time to play-," she said before letting the audience finish the sentence.
The audience members gave a weak "Stump Mark," as Mark pumped his fist in the air.
The introduction played again and Mark was ready to get into the game.
However, Kelly interrupted him once again.
She held up her hand and said: "Guys, wait."
"That was a very lame Stump Mark," Kelly said, folding her hands together.
"I know that you had to stand outside for a long time in the rain, but it's time to play-."
"Stump Mark!" the audience shouted louder than before.
Kelly turned towards her husband and mouthed: "That's better," before jokingly shaking her head and rolling her eyes.
KELLY'S CHAOS
Last month, Kelly also called out audience members who interrupted her.
She gave the introduction for the day, but quickly stopped her segment when people started to walk in late.
Kelly paused and greeted the stragglers as they moved to their seats.
"Hi!" she said brightly.

"New people are here. Take your time, find your seats."
Once everyone found their seats, Kelly continued on with her introduction.
