Fans divided — but Cole is rear-ly proud of her latest tattoo

Cheryl Cole has defended her new tattoo, which covers the entire lower half of her back and derriere, and took 15 hours to create.

With opinion divided and many fans critical of Cole’s cheeky new body art, the former Girls Aloud star wrote: “People are entitled to their own opinion. Personally I’ve never really concerned myself with other people’s body parts.

“I’ve had it for seven to eight months but only just had it detailed. I can pretty much safely say I’m now done.”
