Something about.. The art of tattoos

In some cultures it is considered a skilled and timeless art. In others, it is seen to symbolize gang culture and criminality. And in many cultures, it is just a trend. But in countries around the world tattooing has boomed in popularity, causing controversy and speculation as many young people decide to get permanent body art. As skin becomes canvas, ink and needle replace paint and brush, we ask the question- is tattooing even art at all?

So I set out on a journey of discovery, to determine whether tattooing really is art. The challenge: learn how to tattoo in one week. How hard can it really be? After coaching from tattoo apprentice Josh Hurrell, and sketching practice of the chosen design, a Japenese style cherry blossom flower, it was time to put needle to pig skin (yes, pig skin).

Can I master the equipment and create a piece of tattoo art, or will I fail and prove that tattooing is a true art which requires skill and talent?

Something about.. XOXO

My life officially has meaning again - and my Wednesday nights are now the highlight of my week. Yes, Gossip Girl is back.

And I am very happy to say that my beloved Chuck Bass - and his beloved, Blair Waldorf are still living their happy ever after. This certainly leaves me smiling, after two series spent on the edge of my seat waiting for Mr. Bass to say those three words, eight letters..

And at the end of Series two comes the moment where he finally says it, one of my favourite moments in TV history.

"You were right, I was a coward running away again.. And everywhere I went, you caught up with me – I love you too.."

Something about.. Man U's new fitness regime

If fitness sessions with James Corden were available it would be so easy to get me down the gym.

And I can tell you one thing, I'd certainly be burning off a lot of calories not only from the working out - but also from the hysterical laughter.
