Love Island bombshell Abi Rawlings look completely different in a series of throwback snaps shared on her business Instagram account.
The 27-year-old tattoo artist from Bournemouth, who is currently coupled up with semi-professional footballer Toby Aromolaran, 22, can be found sporting blonde locks on her tattoo page.
Abigail set her sights on Toby the moment she walked in, and successfully stole him from blonde bombshell Chloe Burrows, but would he still have made the decision if she was like on the lighter side of locks?
The stunning throwback snaps were taken back in 2016 and shows off a completely different side to the star.

In the photos, Abi still looks just as radiant albeit with a slightly more alternative edge, adorning to her ear stretchers and back-combed style.
The Daily Star recently chatted exclusively to one of her best mates and fellow tattoo artist Declan Bell works with Abi at Black Lodge Tattoo studio and has been friends with her for years.

He explained: “To be honest, Toby’s a lot younger than Abi, and she’s always had this thing about age.
“She likes to go for someone that’s near enough around the same age, or preferably older.
“Abi could get her head turned, but I think it’ll take a lot as she’s quite strong-minded. She knows what she wants.”
He added: “If she wants something she’ll get it. At the same time, she’ll stay with something if she knows it’s good for her.

“Even on the outside world, you meet someone for a day or so, you don’t fall in love with them! It takes a while.
“It’s been what – three days she’s known Toby for? I don’t think there’s a commitment that she has to stay with him.
Declan wasn’t surprised that Abigail went for who she did: “I spoke to her before she went in, and she said she likes Toby, so I kind of knew she’d go for him.
