Hayden Panettiere apparently is trying to remove a tattoo on her rib cage. The "Heroes" actress was spotted on Monday, September 2 on Hollywood Beach in Miami with some friends. Wearing a lime green, black and white bikini with striped pattern, Hayden showed off her slim body.

A tattoo which was inked on the left side of her body four years ago looks partially removed. The sprawling tattoo reads, "Vivere senza rimipianti," but the last part should have been spelled "rimpianti."

The "Nashville" actress talked about the body art in May edition of Glamour magazine, saying that it was inspired from her father's words. "It's Italian," she said. "When I was younger, I was upset, and my dad said he wanted to show me something. He slammed one door of the bathroom, and the closet door popped open - it was a trick with the air."

"He said, 'Whenever one door closes, another one always opens.' So my tattoo means live without regrets. It's not that you don't regret things in life, but you at least try to learn from them. It's misspelled too [accidentally, as rimipianti] - so I literally have to live by that advice!" she added.

Hayden shared an advice during an appearance on "The View" last year. "Here's the thing - if you're going to get a tattoo in a language, just don't ever go to that country, or a country where anyone speaks that language," she said.
