Woman gets Queen tattooed on her leg, but says she's not a royalist

A woman has had an amazing remembrance portrait of 'incredible' Queen Elizabeth II tattooed on her leg in tribute to Her late Majesty. Falon Cooper, 37, had planned to get the incredible body art when it was the Queen's platinum jubilee earlier this year but never got round to it.

But after her death, she had the amazing, life-like tribute to the late Queen - based on a portrait of her as a younger woman - inked on her right thigh over six painstaking hours. She said: "I've got other tattoos and I wanted the Queen anyway and it is something that I have been thinking about for a while with her jubilee.

"I was exploring the option of maybe having a tattooed version of her, but with recent events I just thought that that was a little inappropriate. So I just went ahead and got a simple portrait of her as she is, because she doesn't need to be tarnished up with tattoos - she is pretty much incredible as she is.
