Pip Edwards’ secret tattoo revealed as she escapes to wellness retreat in Thailand amid news her P.E Nation flagship store in Sydney has closed

Pip Edwards has given a rare look at her tattoos while completing a White Lotus-esque wellness retreat in Thailand.

The 44-year-old Ksubi creative director and her 18-year-old son Justice have spent the past week undergoing an ‘equilibrium of health’ programme on an island near Bangkok. 

In addition to a lengthy summary of her time at RAKxa, an ‘incredible integrative wellness retreat’, Pip shared an image of a scarcely seen tattoo on the back of her neck. 

The cursive tattoo, which is not new, says, ‘Never Look Back.’ 

It is written in the same cursive font as her more ‘this must be the place’ tattoo underneath her bicep – a nod to the beloved Talking Heads’ song. 

Additionally, she has her son’s name emblazoned on the arch of her foot in an Old English font, as well as a simple star tattoo.

The sentiment is obviously something she is taking away from retreat, which is priced upwards from $9350 for an individual’s five-night stay – per the company’s website

‘I am also quickly approaching my 45th birthday and I am so grateful to have had this experience to really disconnect from the hustle and bustle of my day to day city life,’ Pip wrote on Instagram Wednesday. 

‘And to return to my body, focusing on its strength, nourishing it with a tailored program of clean foods, and refuelling it with all the energetic spiritual love its been craving.

‘I set out to take this time to be in a bubble of health with my son, but it’s been so much more than that,’ she added. 

‘I have never felt more at peace, more healthier and happier than I am today. And so grateful for my son to watch this transformation.’ 

The rebalance program that Pip underwent includes doctor consultations on fitness and anti-ageing, meditation, Pilates, chakra balancing, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, an oxygen chamber session, and an anti-oxidant IV drip with seven different specialists.

‘I have learnt so many unique tools specific to me to assist with improving the quality, longevity, and happiness of my life,’ Pip continued in her caption. 

‘And the main take away for me is so simple, it is to learn how to breathe!’

‘Breathe properly and deeply – but truly understanding the connection of my breath to my physical, my mental and my spiritual. 

‘Give your body and yourself the love and attention it deserves. Maybe I’m writing this just to remind myself to slow down more often, in order to maintain my fast pace!’

Justice’s father Dan Single, 44, also has a tribute tattoo to their son on his arm. 

It comes amid news that Pip’s activewear brand P.E Nation have announced the closure of their flagship store. 

The store at The Galeries shopping centre, on George Street in Sydney’s CBD will open its doors for the last time on Thursday, April 24.

P.E Nation announced the news on Instagram reassuring customers the closure did not mark the end of the brand.

The Australian brand shared an image on Tuesday from inside one of their stores with the words: ‘We’re on the move!’ 

Announcing the closure, a statement read: ‘A big thank you to everyone who visited, supported us, and became part of our community – you made it special.

‘While we’re saying goodbye to this space, it’s just the start of a new chapter.’

The activewear and athleisure women’s brand confirmed their stores in Westfield Miranda and Bondi Junction remained open. 

Westfield Miranda is the home of the newest branch of the brand, opening earlier this year in February. 

P.E Nation was founded by Pip Edwards and Claire Greaves back in 2016 in Bondi.

The friends founded the activewear brand after working together at Australian label Sass & Bride.  

Ms Edwards stepped down as creative director in August last year following a successful relaunch of the women’s clothing brand. 

Co-founder Ms Greaves had stepped back from the day-to-day running of the company five months earlier. 

Both co-founders retain their shareholding and board positions.
