And now that MAFS 2025 has come to end, the now single groom Billy has revealed some interesting new ink.
Billy's new tattoo celebrates not only his time in the experiment, but a certain special co-star in his eyes...
Billy
Following the Reunion Commitment Ceremony, Billy sat down with 9Entertainment to reveal the new addition to his 'notepad' leg tattoo.
And yep, that's Dave's face on his undies.
"I'm gonna miss my boy Dave," he said of his new-found bromance.
He may not have found love, but Billy certainly found a best mate.
"I even got 'MAFS 12 Plot Twist' [tattooed] which is going to be our thing," he shared.
Certainly a sweet plot twist indeed!

When we first met Billy, the groom explained his unique leg tattoo.
"I've got a notepad, as my mum calls it, right down my leg," Billy smiled.
"It's a list of sh-t tattoos, a list of phrases or names over my drunken times on holiday which is actually quite funny," he explained.
"I've got things on there like 'I'm not f--king leaving' because I like to miss flights."
Billy recalled that he and his best friend invited a Balinese tattoo artist back to their villa (which is not exactly recommended).
"We used the coffee table as a tattoo chair and he kind of went to town on us," he recalled.
"So we've got 'Bali baby' written on us, I've got a 'yes' written on me, he's got a stick image of his missus... There's some interesting ones on there."
But Billy wasn't done.

On top of his leg tatt, the groom has two arm sleeves, a leg sleeve, chest and stomach tattoos – and that's only scratching the surface.
"I've got a Buddha on my chest which I got on Thailand," Billy began to explain.
"My favourite is 'mum' obviously," he said referring to the tattoo on his hand.
Pointing to his right forearm he said; "I've got a wolf here with two little wolves underneath. I'm the wolf and that's me looking over my brother and sister."

Those two tattoos mean the most to Billie.
"The rest is like artwork," he explained. "When they say you get the tattoo bug, it's real, it's additive."
Billie said he loves the patterns tattooed on his body which "don't necessarily mean a lot but I think it looks cool".
There's also one tattoo he kind of regrets.
Scroll through to see.

"I've got my last name tattooed on my back because obviously that was a trend 10 years ago, I look like an idiot now," he laughed.
"I've got my birth year '1993' tattooed on my stomach. I've got a mixture."
Teejay
New groom Teejay has six tattoos, all with very different meanings. This also includes one cheeky tattoo he couldn't exactly show on camera.
"I have a bumblebee on my right butt cheek," he revealed.
"It has a really deep meaning.
"It means me and three mates were drunk in Thailand and wanted to get matching tattoos and we all got the bumblebee."
As for his other tattoos, the groom wasn't afraid to dive deep into their meanings...
Teejay
Teejay has the word 'Freedom' inked on his right arm.
"I think it's a really powerful word and has a strong meaning for a lot of people," he explained.
In the centre of his chest, Teejay has 'indefatigable' tattooed on him in the same script.

"Which means, 'Able to work tirelessly' so I translate that to be 'incapable of defeat'," he revealed.
He has a Greek-inspired tattoo on his ankle, which he got when he was about 21 years old, inspired by his Greek heritage.
Plus another Greek word on his left arm...
Teejay
Teejay has Ancient Greek word 'Sophrosyne' inked on his left arm.
"It has very long meaning," the groom went on to explain. "A healthy state of mind characterised by self control and a deep awareness of one's true self resulting in true inner happiness."
Behind his left ear is his first tattoo, a treble clef!
"A lot of people on the Indian side of my family are quite musical. I play guitar, drums, I teach myself piano and sing a little bit too, so that just felt right for me," he smiled.
