A woman with 25 tattoos has revealed that she regrets every single piece of body art she has ever had.
Rose Nicholson, 32, an accountant from Manchester, got her first tattoo, an eight inch heart design across her chest, when she was 19.
Over the following eight years, Ms Nicholson added a half sleeve of colourful characters from The Neverhood - an adventure-themed video game released in 1996 - on her arm, along with lyrics to the song Smile by Eyedea and Abilities.
On the same arm, Rose had four pre-designed 'flash' tattoos, where you turn up on the day for a design that is ready to be installed immediately and three Harry Potter tattoos.
She continued adding tattoos all over her body until she was 27 only to say that she 'hated' all of them by the time she had reached 30.

Her final one - the Deftones White Pony on the back of her thigh - was at the age of 27 but Rose says by that by the time she was 30 she 'hated' them all.
Rose says she considered getting them removed, but that the total cost was too much for her to afford too expensive due to her number of tattoos.
Speaking abut the possibility of getting them removed, Rose said: 'I know it's possible but the process is long-winded, expensive and painful.
'I don't really have the disposable income as an adult as I did when I was younger, I was living at home and my cash from my job went to buying tattoos.
'When you're young you don't care about what everyone else thinks and you don't want to listen.'
She also said that she is a big of the Harry Potter books and films, but lamented how they would not match her outfit choices these days.
'I don't like the way it looks on me anymore. They don't look right with the clothes I want to wear.
'There was no attempt at design. There is no uniformity. The work isn't bad, but it's cartoon characters.
Rose says that she nearly always wears long sleeves to work prevent people from seeing her tattoos. Pictured: Rose as a teenager, before she had any tattoos

'By the time I was 30 I realised I hated my tattoos and wished I could take them all back.'
Rose says that she nearly always wears long sleeves to work prevent people from seeing her tattoos.
'The first time everyone saw them at work was during a 40 degree heatwave and people were surprised,' she said.
She added that she does not wear low cut shirts or dresses due to her first piece of body ink, an eight inch wide and three inch tall heart tattoo.
She continued by saying that the tattoos she chose when she was younger give the wrong impression of her lifestyle.
'People look at tattoos and assume I am a certain way; interested in going to metal shows, or going out and getting drunk with friends,' she said.
She said she doesn't want to talk about the tattoos she chose to get and that people often ask her about them unsolicited.
Rose added that anyone wanting a tattoo should wait until they are 30 to ensure that they are satisfied with their choice of body ink
'There was once a guy who came up to me and asked me if he could touch them,' she said.
'That might have been part of what led to me to wishing I had never got them. I didn't want to talk about my tattoos all the time.
'I thought it was cool to have tattoos and here I am now and I just hate them all and wish I could take them all back.'
She said that if she was speaking to her younger self, her advice would have been to consult a tattoo artists about prospective ideas for body art.
Rose added that anyone wanting a tattoo should wait until they are 30 to ensure that they are satisfied with their choice of body ink.
