She doesn't do things by halves! Katie Waissel gets a new tattoo... and ends up covering her whole arm in inkings

New designs: Katie Waissel posted a picture of her new tattoos on her Twitter page


She's never been one to do anything by halves.

And former X Factor star Katie Waissel proved that today when she posted a picture of her new tattoo on Twitter.

However, instead of getting a small and simple design, Katie went all out, covering virtually her entire forearm in inkings.


Katie had been putting the picture on Twitter to show off her claw-like black nails, but ended up drawing attention to her new etchings instead.

As well as the phrase 'I will prevail', perhaps to encourage her in her musical pursuits following the underwhelming response to her record The Ugly Truth, Katie opted for a bunch of purple flowers to be drawn on her right arm.

In addition, Katie had a peace symbol and the number 24 tattooed on her forearm.

Ouch! Katie tried to hide her arm, which was covered in white cream, as she attended a launch earlier this week


But she didn't stop there, as she showed when she attended the launch of Sunglass Hut's new Covent Garden store earlier this week.

Wearing a cut-off printed T-shirt, Katie attempted to hide her left arm, which appeared to be painfully red and covered in white cream, behind her back.

However, she wasn't able to conceal her arm completely, and it could be seen that the design travelled all the way up her arm to just underneath her armpit.

Before getting her new tattoo, Katie tweeted fans: 'Tattoo day!! To express oneself through the work of another mans art, can't wait!!'

She later added: 'Down a back alley in soho about to be Daryl's canvass (sic) ;)'

Before: Katie had no tattoos on her left arm as she appeared on X Factor with mentor Cheryl Cole and fellow singer Treyc Cohen


Katie is no stranger to going under the tattooist's needle, as she already has the phrase Nothing Is Impossible written on her right wrist and a bird design on her left foot.

Meanwhile, Katie, who appeared on last year's X Factor show, has spoken out about her former mentor Cheryl Cole's departure from the show.

Asked if she thinks the panel will survive without Cheryl, Katie said: 'Yes, it's going to be fine. Simon Cowell is a very smart man and he knows what he is doing and I think that the change would be a good thing.

'Gary Barlow is such a talented singer-songwriter who has been in the industry for such a long time.

'It is great to finally have someone on that panel, he could say, "there's a diamond in the rough" and I think that this is going to be really interesting. I think that this is what the show needs.'

Cher Lloyd gets butterflies as she unveils her new - and eighth - tattoo on Twitter

By Georgina Littlejohn


New look: Cher Lloyd unveiled her new butterflies tattoo on Twitter this weekend - and new hair extensions in Miami last week


She already has an assortment of tattoos scattered across her person.

But Cher Lloyd clearly thought that seven was just not enough as she unveiled a new inking this weekend.

The X Factor contestant showed off some new designs on her right arm, an extension of one she already had.

The 17-year-old posted a black and white photo on her Twitter page of her arm, which had been inked with five butterflies.

They were joined by a question mark and a peace sign, as she added to the bird carrying a ribbon that she already had.

On the ribbon is the word 'Boo', a tribute to her late uncle Edward 'Boo Boo' Smith, who died last September after being tricked into taking a heroin substitute.

She had the design inked two months ago and also had an empty birdcage on her left arm to look as though the bird had flown free from it when she put her arms together.

An inquest in December heard how Mr Smith, 34, was found dead in his Malvern, Worcestershire home after being 'deceived' into taking a lethal dose of methadone.

Cher wrote on her Twitter: 'Happy birthday Uncle Boo, missing you. New tattoo. Xxxx.'

In an interview last year, Lloyd admitted: 'I’m not even old enough to have a tattoo, but I have three. I know it’s naughty.'

She also noted Cowell - who has signed her to his Syco label - doesn't approve of her body art: 'Even though Simon doesn't approve of tattoos the thing is I'm my own person and think it'd be cool to get another one.'

Paying tribute: Cher had a bird flying from a cage done in March, which she added the butterflies to


Cher already has a bow on her back, musical note on her left hand and Spanish phrase on her right arm which reads Bolsillo Lleno De Suenos' - which means 'pocketful of dreams'

In January, she then got song lyrics on her left arm - 'All That You Have Is Your Soul' - lyrics from a Tracy Chapman song of the same name, and an image of a large diamond on her right hand

The red has gone: Cher has got rid of her fiery locks for a more sophisticated colour

Tattoo fan: Cher also has a diamond on her right hand and song lyrics on her left arm


Cher also unveiled a new hairstyle as she landed in Miami last week, where she had the tattoo done and where she is believed to be working on her debut album.

The long brown hair extensions come a month after she ditched her fiery red locks for a sleek dark bob, which she added too with caramel and blond extensions.

More etchings: She also has a musical note on her left hand and a Spanish phrase on her right forearm

Not enough: She even has a bow inked on her lower back

Vanessa Wants to Get Inked — With Her Mom

She’s rocked both real and fake tattoos, but Vanessa Hudgens says she’s just getting started on the body art. 

“I will hopefully get more tattoos,” the Sucker Punch star told PEOPLE on Wednesday at the West Hollywood release party of pal Ashley Tisdale‘s DVD, Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure. “I’m very obsessed recently. I still only have one, but I’m waiting for one of my friends to go get one so that I can come with, and bring my mom and my best friend.” 

Why would she bring family along for the experience? “My sister is on her way for a piercing, and me and my mom are going to do the tattoos,” she shared. 

Appearing at the bash with what appeared to be a much shorter do, the actress explained, “I started getting cut crazy, but tonight I just tucked it under because I haven’t had time to do my hair this evening. I think I might have it long soon again though for the music festivals and whatnot. But I think it’s fun. I just love changing my look. I get bored with it being stagnant.” 

So which style stars does she turn to when she’s ready for a change? “I like looks like Bianca Jagger and looks from the ’60s and ’70s, like classic movie stars,” she said. “Just interesting, cool, eclectic looks.”
