So, the big news from the weekend had to be Cheryl Cole’s bum and namely her giant rose tattoo. What do you think? Love it? Hate it? Can’t decide?
Cheryl Cole’s newest tattoo…
The singer had a giant flower etched on her bottom and lower back in California – and after the tattoo artist Nikko Hurtado posted a pic on Instagram, the internet went bonkers. Within hours the new inking had the nation divided, with many arguing that they hated it for reasons ranging from her hiding her perfect derriere to the new art looking, well, just plain ugly.
Cheryl hit back: “People are entitled to their own opinion. Personally I’ve never really concerned myself with other people’s body parts. I’ve had it for seven-eight months but only just had it detailed. I can pretty much safely say I’m now done!”
All the stars are at it: Cara Delevingne has a lion on her finger; Harry Styles has a whole gallery including a butterfly on his tum; Justin Bieber has an American Indian on his shoulder blade; and David Beckham has a whopping 32 tatts and they all “have a meaning”.
So what’s your take on tattoos Lovestruckers? Do you like dating tattoo fans? Do you have one yourself and does it help you in the dating world?
David Beckham has 32 tattoos.
Various studies have looked into the subject. According to a recent Lovestruck survey 77 per cent of women think that men who have unusual tattoos would be more fun than your average Joe with 47 per cent thinking it showed a creative, slightly wild streak, which is seen as attractive traits for a date.
76 per cent were turned off by a heavily-tattooed man and 18 per cent were unsure if they’d marry a man with tattoos. Symbolic words with meaning were voted the most attractive types of tattoos for men to have by 63 per cent of women. 79 per cent disliked tattoos of women and 88 per cent sighted weapons, skulls and ‘heavy metal band’ images as a definite deal-breaker.
45 per cent of men said they felt that if a woman has tattoos then she might be more promiscuous. 58 per cent thought subtle, ‘meaningful’ tattoos were the most attractive. 69 per cent of those surveyed said they are turned off by ‘obvious’ visible tattoos and 58 per cent thought the ankle and lower tummy were the most attractive places a women could sport an inking. 48 per cent thought women sporting larger tattoos gave them masculine qualities.
Hmm. Interesting stats! What do you think? Will you only date someone with tattoos? Do you agree with these surveys? Tell us @lovestruck
