Rapper/actor Nick Cannon is moving forward with his separation from Mariah Carey by covering up his tattoo tribute to her on his back.

The Hero hitmaker and Cannon announced their separation in August (14) after six years of marriage.

Neither party has yet filed for divorce, but Cannon is now sporting a new religious tattoo across his shoulders, where the singer's name used to be, according to TMZ.com.

Cannon is not the only person in the relationship with a tattoo dedicated to their partner - Carey has an inking on her lower back of a butterfly with "Mrs. Cannon" emblazoned down the middle.

It is unclear if Carey has removed or covered up her tattoo.
