The celebrity couple often share sweet glimpses of their family life with fans on social media.
Today, Arthur took to his Instagram to share an unusual update with fans regarding his personal life.
The dad-of-two was sat in his car early in the morning sporting a pair of shades.
Recording a short message for his fans he explained: "Good morning gorgeous people, happy Tuesday, hope you are all doing well.
"Right, so the time has come for me to go and do my tattoo. I've been waiting to do this since Blake turned one. It was supposed to be for her birthday, but we didn't get time, because when you are on holiday you have to keep it out of the sun."
The TV star then held up his forearm to show fans where he already had his first daughter's name tattooed.
He added: "As I have Blake Maria Rose... so time to add Blu! I've been waiting for this, I am so excited."
Arthur then took his fans along on his journey to get his daughter's name tattooed on his arm.
The 45-year-old got his new ink in Temple Bar's The Ink Factory, where he showed off the initial sketches from the artist.
After some brief back and forth, Arthur and his tattooist agreed on a final design and started the piece.

Later, he took to his Instagram to show off the finished work- which included an additional art-piece.
To show the finished design with his fans, Arthur showed off both sides of his forearm, which included a hand-drawn sketch of Blu's name in his handwriting, as well as his "first ever heartbeat scan".
Doting on his two new tattoos, Arthur gushed: "I absolutely love it. Oh my god, I love, love, love it."
STRIKE A POSE
Arthur recently launched a brand-new fleece collection as part of his company, The AG.
The 44-year-old didn't have far to look when it came to asking someone to model his new clothes.
His little girl Blake was delighted to take on the role and model his cosy fleeces.
In a short clip posted to Arthur's Instagram, Blake could be seen striking a pose in the bright pink fleece.
The toddler had her hands in her pockets and a cheesy grin on her face.
Arthur snapped dozens of photos of the little one as she pouted her lips.

RTE Fair City viewers all say same thing as Melanie scrambles for her job after Zoe was tipped off about her theft
Plus, Holly promised Mondo that she would get Sean off their case SHOCK CITY RTE Fair City viewers all say same thing as Melanie scrambles for her job after Zoe was tipped off about her theft RTE Fair City viewers were all left saying the same thing after Melanie was left scrambling for her job - after Zoe learned the truth about her theft. On tonight's show, Claire pressured Gwen to find a new housemate, while Fergal clashed with Jacinta. 3 Melanie was left scrambling for her job Credit: RTE 3 Claire told Melanie to keep playing innocent Credit: RTE 3 Fergal was looking for a new place to stay Credit: RTE Melanie was distraught when she learned Alex told Hughie the truth about her role in the car theft. Later, she pleaded with Hughie for his forgiveness, but was met with a cold shoulder as he informed her she almost cost him his friendship with Zoe. In an attempt to smooth their relationship, Hughie told Zoe the truth about the car theft. Following this, an infuriated Zoe confronted Melanie in the office, but she denied everything. Concerned for the firm's reputation, Claire told Melanie to keep playing innocent. And Jess was shocked when she discovered a file for Goo Eyes that suggested Melanie contacted him through Joan's firm. Meanwhile, Claire warned Jess to stay quiet if she valued her job and Ruby scrambled to find a new couple to model Lorcan's jackets - which led Ellie to volunteer herself and Alex for the job. Overcome by his own trouble with Melanie, Alex bailed. RTE Fair City viewers raced to social media to share their reactions to all of tonight's drama. Pamela said: "Zoe and Hughie will torch the smart office." RTE Fair City tonight Michael remarked: "Hughie needs to go to the Garda." Another fan added: "Melanie's CV is fantastic... her last reference from goo eyes." Elsewhere on the show, Claire pressured Gwen to find a new housemate soon, otherwise threatening she would pick a new tenant for her. Meanwhile, Fergal clashed with Jacinta at home when she began to treat him like her caretaker. NEW HOME After hearing how she treats him, Gareth urged Fergal to move out and suggested he ask Gwen about her spare room. Despite not initially being keen on the idea, Gwen later reconsidered after she saw Jacinta snapping at Fergal in public. Following the encounter, Gwen agreed to include Fergal in the next round of interviews for the vacant room. And out of options, Ellie convinced Greg to do the shoot with her. When Sean asked Mondo to pay half of the loss from the promo, Mondo insisted that Comet wouldn't accept liability. Meanwhile, Holly promised Mondo that she would get Sean off their case- which she managed to do by charming him into agreeing to back off.
