Kristin Cavallari has to learn about love and tattoos the hard way. After displaying proof of her commitment to actor Nick Zano by getting a tattoo of his initials on her left wrist, the reality TV star known for her exposure on MTV's Laguna Beach, has decided to erase the love stamp to put an end to any chance of reconciliation with Zano, who is now her ex-boyfriend.
The Laguna Beach started dating Zano, who is best known for his role as Vince on the sitcom What I Like About You that starred Amanda Bynes and Jennie Garth, in 2006. According to the N.Y.
