X Factor Cher Lloyd Tattoo

Will she be famous for her tears, her tattoos or for winnig the X factor 2010?
Cher Lloyd is getting a lot of good reviews for her massive performance on Saturday when she impressed Simon Cowell and the other X factor judges.

Everyone is also noticing her tattoos. At just 17, she's legally too young to have any tattoos, but the X Factor contestant Cher Lloyd already has three tattoos on her body.

We could see one tattoo, a music note, on her left hand during the show. She also revealed another one on her right arm which reads 'Bolsillo Lleno De Suenos'. It is Spanish for "pocketful of dreams". Very appropriate for the little star in the making. It is also a lyric from the Jay-Z and Alicia Keys duet Empire State Of Mind.

Her ex-boyfriend Alex Wallis - who split from Cher in August - said: 'She doesn't speak Spanish, she just thought it looked pretty and loved that song.'



The third tattoo is said to be a bow on her lower back.

In an interview, Cheryl-lookalike Cher admitted she doesn't mind the comparisons between her and her idol Cheryl Cole. And Cheryl also has tattoos although she waited to be 18 to get them.

In the UK, the law states it is an offence to tattoo anyone under the age of 18. She won't be put in jail because she has had 3 tattoos already and she is only 17 but she is not showing a good example. It is best to wait a few years to get a tattoo and really think about it for a long time. It will save you having regrets and then needing a cover up or laser tattoo removal to get rid of a quick impulsive teenage decision. Our advice is always to live with the idea for a few months to make sure you are still happy with it before you have it done.
