A TATTOO can sometimes make or break a look.
While they sometimes act as the perfect accessory, they can also detract from an outfit.

And despite the fact some people reckon Nein’s vast array of inkings do just that, she completely disagrees.
In fact, she never has any need to buy any new clothes, as her etchings act as her ensembles.
In a video on TikTok, the stunning blonde insisted “tattoos are my favourite outfit” as she posed in a barely-there black crop top and low slung jeans.
The clip began with her looking at the camera, smiling coyly as she showed off her vast display of tattoos.
As well as intricate designs on her shoulders and stomach, both of her arms were covered in blackout tattoos.
Nein then moved away from the camera slightly and turned around, to show a whole load more inkings on her back.
But people in the comments section were almost instantly divided as they weighed in on the woman’s unique look.
With many taking aim at the blackout tattoos on her arms specifically.
“Ow hell nah,” one raged.
“Just no…” another said.
“I will never understand why people want black out tattoos,” a third commented.
“I didn’t realise they were tattoos on your arms,” someone else added.
“Will never understand tatts that are basically only black,” another said.
“In my opinion I don’t like the tattoos on your arms but your back tattoos look actually sick,” someone else said.
However, others defended Nein, with one insisting: “I genuinely don’t get the hate!
“Girl your tattoos are beautiful and match you so well.”
The ink-redible ancient history of body art
Scientists have discovered the world’s oldest tattoos on the arm of a 5,000-year-old Egyptian mummy on display at the British Museum.
The mummy, known as Gebelein Man A, pushes back evidence of figurative tattoos by 1,000 years.
The oldest tattoos were once thought to belong to a South American Chinchorro mummy who had a moustache-like design inked on his face.
It was initially thought he died in 4,000BC but in 2015 researchers found he is in fact younger than 5,200-year-old frozen mummy Ötzi the Iceman.
Ötzi was found by walkers preserved in a glacier on the Italy-Austria border in 1991.
Imaging using various wavelengths revealed a total of 61 tattoos: Geometric designs of dots, crosses and parallel lines.
Ötzi would have done lots of walking im the Alps and it is thought the tattoos may have been a kind of acupuncture to ease joint pains.
There is evidence of tattooing on mummies found in the Taklamakan Desert in China dating from 1,200 BC.
Modern tattoos of the kind sported by David Beckham are thought to have developed in Polynesian cultures over centuries.
The name comes from the phrase tatatau, meaning to hit or strike, which the British sailor James Cook heard when he reached Tahiti in 1769.
“I guess the algorithm chose this TikTok to be rage bait for tattoo haters,” another said.
To which Nein replied: “I can take it, I love my tattoos haha!”
And when someone else asked how long her tattoos took, she revealed the left arm took “six hours straight”, while the right arm took two sessions of three to four hours each.
“I never understood people who hate tattoos (on other people), I know exactly what tattoos I want and will have two sleeves!” another wrote.
“Your tattoos make a whole outfit and I LOVE it!!!” someone else insisted.
As another said: “My mum says her tattoos are her forever accessories!”
