Fern Britton isn't the only woman who adores body art
Fern Britton TV celebrated after entering his 50s with some body art, Laura McGarrity asked if it is a sign of growing old disgracefully
A couple of stars on your shoulder, the initials of someone special on her hip, a "tramp stamp" on the lower back or inaccurate Arabic writing on your arm, these are just some of the typical tattoos one in five adults opting for.
Some people see it as a form of art or self-expression, while others see them as pantyhose, errors or immature drunk. Anyway tattoos seem to be something that everyone has an opinion.
TV presenter Fern Britton recently confessed she had got a tattoo and was enjoying a ‘disgraceful middle age', in an interview for Woman and Home magazine.
Britton revealed that her tattoo was of two butterflies on her tummy, and she also confessed her inspiration behind this rebellion was actress Felicity Kendal (64) getting a star tattooed on her foot.

“I got my second tribal symbol done at the same tattoo parlour in Ballymoney. The tattoo was at the bottom of my back, but I wasn't really happy with the results.
“After looking around a few places I went to Skinworks in Belfast and haven't gone anywhere since. A tattooist, Gallo, retouched my second tattoo and then covered the rest of the right hand side of my back in tribal symbols.
“I would absolutely say I am addicted to getting tattoos, and since my first I have spent about £2,000 on subsequent tattoos over the past 10 years and it has taken about 21 hours getting them done.
