A woman has had the Port Talbot Banksy tattooed on her arm in tribute to her fond memories of the area.
Lucy Morgan, from Nantymoel, in the county borough of Bridgend, got the tattoo on February 9, just a day after Season's Greetings was removed from Port Talbot.
Like the graffiti, the tattoo depicts a child dressed for the winter, with his arms outstretched and his tongue sticking out, appearing to catch snowflakes on his tongue. While the burning rubbish bin is not pictured in Lucy's tattoo, those famil the art understand that the snow the boy is catching is actually ashes from the fire.

Lucy got the tattoo as a tribute to her heritage.
She said: "The tattoo was done by Ryan Littlejohns at Deadly Sins Ink. The tattoo was chosen because I believe it's a beautiful work of art and my family on my mam's side were originally from Port Talbot.
"I also spent a lot of time there shopping as a child with my mam. My tattooist worked his magic and he is an old school friend so he knew exactly what I'd like and how to incorporate the design for myself. It has one more sitting to go to add shading and a bit of colour. I wanted something Welsh and meaningful and personal to me and thought it would be perfect.
"I have a few and slowly getting covered, Ryan has taken the job. My tattoos are mostly Halloween and neo-trad based so that's why the frame around it was chosen to keep in line with the rest so its personal to me."
Season's Greetings first appeared on a garage belonging to Port Talbot steelworker Ian Lewis on a cold and frosty morning just days before Christmas in 2018.
Ian's garage quickly became a tourist hotspot, drawing crowds from across the UK, all eager to see Banksy's latest work.
Not long after, the piece was moved to an empty shop window, where residents and tourists alike complained that they couldn't see the art, and felt it was "trapped".
It was removed from Port Talbot on February 8.
A large barrier was erected around Ty’r Orsaf in Station Road so construction workers could safely wrap the piece in protective material and remove the glass from the building’s windows – before winching it out and using a crane to put it on a truck for transportation.
Lucy, like many residents, said she believes the art should have stayed in the town.
"I believe it should have stayed in Port Talbot. It was done in Port Talbot so it should have stayed in Port Talbot. That's my view on it. When people hear about Season's Greetings they automatically think of Port Talbot and Wales.
"I got it done the day after it was taken away but it is booked back in to be finished. My tattooist Ryan is going to add more shading and colour."
Season's Greetings is now making its way to "a temporary highly secured undisclosed storage unit". It is not yet know what its fate will be after that, although the Banksy Preservation Society is planning to raise money to put it on permanent display.
