Ozzy Osbourne: 'Tattoos are addictive'

Ozzy Osbourne has revealed that he does not think tattoos are always a good idea because they can be "addictive".

The Black Sabbath singer, who has several permanent markings on his body, said that people often get carried away after having their first one.

He explained to The Times: "The trouble with tattoos is they're addictive. I've known girls who start out with a flower on their ankle, and three months later they've got an entire battle scene across their arse.

"When my own daughter got tattoos, I said to her, 'Fashions come and go. One day you may resent what you did to your body'."

Osbourne also admitted that he sometimes regrets having a smiley face tattoo on his knee.

He said: "It's one thing being young and beautiful with a tattoo, another when you're a grandma with a floppy dagger on your arm.

"There are times when even I wake up and look at the smiley face I drew on my knee and think, 'What the f**k did I do that for?' Getting them done hurts like crazy too." (from DS)
