She may be a bit on the young side to have them but controversial X Factor contestant Cher Lloyd already has three tattoos.
And as she left rehearsals yesterday ahead of this weekend's live show, the 17-year-old gave a glimpse of her usually hidden second inking.
Wearing a rolled-up checked shirt and cropped tracksuit bottoms, the Worcestershire teen's lengthy etching 'Bolsillo Lleno De Suenos' was clearly visible along her right arm.
The tattoo is Spanish for 'pocketful of dreams' - 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.'
Her Spanish etching joins her two other tattoos - a music note on her left hand and a bow on her lower back - which she has yet to reveal in public.
Her mentor Cheryl Cole noticed the teen's music note design back at her original audition in June and commented that they both had tattoos in the same places.
Cheryl has a Polynesian Maori design on her left hand, which can look similar to a music note.
In a recent interview, Cheryl-lookalike Cher admitted she loves the comparisons between her and her idol.
Cher said: 'I admire her fashion, her looks and I even have a tattoo of a musical note like hers on my hand.
'I’m not even old enough to have a tattoo, but I have three. I know it’s naughty.
'It’s funny when people say I look like her – we’re different, but I’ll take it as a compliment.'
Despite Cher's three tattoos, British law states it is an offence to tattoo anyone under the age of 18 unless for medical reasons.
Meanwhile, Mrs Cole revealed her protegee is 'terrified' of the live shows and she really struggled to convince the wannabe to take to the stage following her negative press.
But Cher sailed through to the second live show after impressing the judges and public with her performance of Just Be Good To Me.
