Choosing a tattoo is a lifelong commitment, as the design you decide on stays etched on your skin forever. Many of those who are eager to get inked up will agonise for months or even years over the perfect placement and style, in order to create something that is unique and special to them.

It's a controversial topic in the world of tattooing, as spats can unfold over copycat designs and rip-offs of original works. One baffled woman has been met with a tirade of foul-mouthed messages from someone accusing her of stealing her tattoo design - demanding that she 'cuts off' the tattoo from her chest to show remorse.
