After visiting the tattoo parlour, the pair proudly showed off their inkings, which appeared to be a toaster with bread in, next to a pineapple and palm tree.
Shona also left a sweet comment under Tony's post where she declared her love for him, writing: 'Tú Y Yo,' which translates to You and Me in Spanish.
In May, they sparked a sea of comments speculating whether they were 'soft-launching' their romance as they posed for cosy red carpet snaps at the Women's Football Awards.
But it is said that the former co-stars are keen to keep their relationship label-free as they continue to get to know each other.
A source told The Sun: 'They're two people having fun getting to know each other in a whole new way. This could be a summer romance or it could be the real deal.
'Either way, until they're sure, they won't be putting a label on things.'
The source added Shona is determined to take things slow after being burned in the past by rushing into things.
They added she wants to enjoy her time with Tony rather than have it picked apart on social media.

The Daily Mail has contacted Shona's representatives for comment.
The pair continued to spark romance rumours as Tony wrapped his arms around Shona from behind before planting a kiss on her head in Instagram photos last month.
During the boozy day out, the I'm A Celebrity star looked happier than ever as she beamed for photos with Tony.
She showed off her incredible figure in a red and black bikini top which she flashed under a cut out matching bodysuit.
The pair first sparked romance rumours after they cosied up for photos on the red carpet at the Women's Football Awards.
Taking to social media to share the photo, Shona wrote: 'What a great evening at the @womensfootballawards last week!
'Such an incredible opportunity to celebrate the heroes driving women's football forward on and off the pitch!'
The post sparked a sea of comments speculating whether Shona and Tony were 'soft-launching' their romance.
Fans commented: 'Looking pretty good together; Is this a soft launch???; PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE A COUPLE OH MY GOD; New man?'
Shona split from her fiancé David Bracken, in November, just months after they had got engaged.
She and Tony had previously enjoyed a mini-reunion in March when they shared a snap together while partying for St Patrick's Day.
In December, Shona placed third in the 2025 series of I'm A Celebrity, behind winner AngryGinge and runner-up Tom Read Wilson respectively.
During her time in the jungle, romance rumours surrounded Shona and her co-star, rapper Aitch (real name Harrison Armstrong).
